Densities of diamond and graphite are 3.5 and 2.3 g/ml respectively. Increase of pressure on the equilibrium C diamond ⇌ C (graphite)
Options
- AFavours backward reaction
- BFavours forward reaction
- CForms 3 rd allotrope of carbon
- DIncrease the reaction rate
Correct answer
A. Favours backward reaction
Step-by-step solution
Increase in the pressure favours backward reaction as it is involved with decrease in volume.
