Q352
In the reaction; N2 + O2 ⇋ 2NO, increasing the pressure will result in
A.
Shifting the equilibrium towards right
B.
Shifting the equilibrium towards left
C.
No change in equilibrium condition
AnswerD.
None of these
Answer: Option C
Solution
Answer: Option C
Solution:
According to Le Chatelier's principle when we apply high pressure the system will react in such a way that it counters the effect of increasing pressure so, the system has to shift the equilibrium towards less number of moles side(thereby, decreasing the volume) and thus opposing the effect. But in the given reaction the numbers of moles are same in both reactants and products side so, the tendency to shift the equilibrium towards products side and reactants side become equal and thus showing no effect on equilibrium.
