Question
Consider the reaction 3Fe(s) + 4H2O(g) <--> 4H2(g) + Fe3O4(s) If the total pressure is increased suddenly by thevolume, A) No change occurs B) more Fe(s) is produced C) the equlibrium constant increases D) more H2O(g) is produced E) more H2(g) is produced Consider the reaction 3Fe(s) + 4H2O(g) <--> 4H2(g) + Fe3O4(s) If the total pressure is increased suddenly by thevolume, A) No change occurs B) more Fe(s) is produced C) the equlibrium constant increases D) more H2O(g) is produced E) more H2(g) is producedExplanation / Answer
If the total pressure increased (by reducing volume), No changeoccurs (CHOICE A). Reason: the number of moles of GASES are the same on both sides ofthe euation. I.e. 4H2O(g) and 4H2(g)
