Equilibrium Question 759
Question: The increase of pressure on ice $ \rightarrow $ water system at constant temperature will lead to
Options:
A) a decrease in the entropy of the system
B) an increase in the Gibb’s energy of the system
C) no effect on the equilibrium
D) a shift of the equilibrium in the forward direction
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
Volume of ice is greater than that of water. The direction in which the reaction will proceed can be predicted by applying Le-Chatelier’s principle $ Pressure\propto \frac{1}{Volume} $ So equilibrium, will shift forward.
