For the reaction
`2SO_(2)(g)+O_(2)(g)=2SO_(3)(g)`
`deltaH=-57.2kJmol^(-1)` and `K_(C)=1.7xx10^(16)` ltbr. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?

Options

A. The equilibrium constant is large suggestive of reaction going to completion and so no catalyst is required
B. The equilibrium will shift in forward direction as the pressure increases
C. The equilibrium constant decreases as the temperature increases.
D. The addition of inert gas at constant volume will not affect the equilibrium constant.

Answer

A

Explanation

Since the value of K is very large, it suggests the reaction is going to completion and no catalyst is required .
