Question

When the pressure of equilibrium reaction C + H2O --- CO + H2 is increased at constant temperature the equilibrium will be

Answer 1

Answer:

C(s)+ H2O (g)⇌CO(g)+H2 (g)

Explanation:

The above equilibrium when subjected to pressure proceeds in the backward direction. The number of moles of gaseous products are more than the number of moles of gaseous reactants.

The above equilibrium when subjected to pressure proceeds in the backward direction. The number of moles of gaseous products are more than the number of moles of gaseous reactants.when pressure is increased, the equilibrium shifts in a direction where there are less number of moles of gaseous species. this decreases total pressure. This is in accordance with Le - Chatelier's principle.
