The correct Answer is:
To determine how to increase the equilibrium concentration of \( C_2H_4 \) in the reaction \[ C_2H_4 + H_2 \rightleftharpoons C_2H_6, \quad \Delta H = -32.7 \text{ kcal/mole} \] we will analyze each of the given options based on Le Chatelier's principle. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Reaction**: - The reaction is exothermic (as indicated by the negative \( \Delta H \)), meaning it releases heat. - The forward reaction produces \( C_2H_6 \) from \( C_2H_4 \) and \( H_2 \). 2. **Option I: Removal of \( C_2H_6 \)**: - If \( C_2H_6 \) is removed, the equilibrium will shift to the right to produce more \( C_2H_6 \) to replace what was removed. - This means that the concentration of \( C_2H_4 \) will not increase; instead, it will decrease as more \( C_2H_4 \) is converted to \( C_2H_6 \). - **Conclusion**: This option does not help in increasing the concentration of \( C_2H_4 \). 3. **Option II: Removal of \( H_2 \)**: - Removing \( H_2 \) (a reactant) will shift the equilibrium to the left to produce more \( H_2 \). - As a result, the concentration of \( C_2H_4 \) will increase. - **Conclusion**: This option helps in increasing the concentration of \( C_2H_4 \). 4. **Option III: Increasing Temperature**: - For an exothermic reaction, increasing the temperature shifts the equilibrium to the left (toward the reactants) to absorb the added heat. - This will lead to an increase in the concentration of \( C_2H_4 \). - **Conclusion**: This option also helps in increasing the concentration of \( C_2H_4 \). 5. **Option IV: Increasing Pressure**: - In this reaction, there are 2 moles of gas on the reactant side (\( C_2H_4 + H_2 \)) and 1 mole on the product side (\( C_2H_6 \)). - Increasing pressure will shift the equilibrium towards the side with fewer moles of gas, which is the product side (\( C_2H_6 \)). - This means that the concentration of \( C_2H_4 \) will decrease. - **Conclusion**: This option does not help in increasing the concentration of \( C_2H_4 \). ### Final Answer: The correct choices that can increase the equilibrium concentration of \( C_2H_4 \) are: - II. Removal of \( H_2 \) - III. Increasing temperature
