On increasing the pressure, the direction in which gas phase reaction proceeds to re-establish equilibrium is predicted by applying the Le-Chatelier's principle. Consider the reaction,
If the total pressure at which the equilibrium is established is increased without changing the temperature, then the correct option is:
| 1. | K will remain same. |
| 2. | K will decrease. |
| 3. | K will increase. |
| 4. | K will increase initially and decrease when pressure is very high. |
Hint: K is only temperature dependent.
Explanation:
In the reaction,
If the total pressure at which the equilibrium is established, is increased without changing the temperature, K will remain same. K changes only with change in temperature.
