Equilibrium Ques 28

28. According to Le-chatelier’s principle, adding heat to a solid $\rightarrow$ liquid equilibrium will cause the

(a) temperature to increase

(b) temperature to decrease

(c) amount of liquid to decrease

(d) amount of solid to decrease.

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. (d) Solid $\rightarrow$ Liquid

It is an endothermic process. So when temperature is raised, more liquid is formed. Hence adding heat will shift the equilbrium in the forward direction.
