KVPY2017ChemistryChemical Equilibrium
The reaction C ₂ H ₆( ~g ) C ₂ H ₄( ~g )+ H ₂( ~g ) is at equilibrium in a closed vessel at 1000 ~K . The enthalpy change ( H ) for the reaction is 137.0 ~kJ ~mol ⁻¹ . Which one of the following actions would shift the equilibrium to the right ?
Options
- ADecreasing the volume of the closed reaction vessel
- BDecreasing the temperature at which the reaction is performed
- CAdding an inert gas to the closed reaction vessel
- DIncreasing the volume of the closed reaction vessel
Correct answer
D. Increasing the volume of the closed reaction vessel
Step-by-step solution
According to Lechatelier principal on increasing volume of closed vessel equilibrium will shift towards right.
