Consider the following reversible reactionat equilibrium:
`2H_(2)O(g) hArr 2H_(2)(g)+O_(2)(g), DeltaH=+24.7 kJ`
Which one of the following changes in conditions will lead to maximum decomposition of `H_(2)O(g)`?

A

Increasing both temperature and pressure

B

Decreasing temperature and increasing pressure

C

Increasing temperature and decreasing pressure

D

Increasing temperature at constant pressure

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Reaction is endothermic and `Deltan gt 0`, hence the formation of product will be favoured by increasing the temperature and decreasing the pressure.
