Consider the water gas equilibrium reaction,
`C_(s)+H_(2)O_(g) Leftrightarrow CO_(g)+H_(2(g))` Which of the following statement is true at equilibrium?

A

If the amount of `C_(s)` is increased, less water would be formed

B

If the amount of `C_(s)` is increased, more CO and `H_2` would be formed.

C

If the pressure on the system is increased by halving the volume, more water would be formed.

D

If the pressure on the system is increased by halving the volume, more CO and `H_2` would be formed.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`K=([CO_((g)) ][H_(2(g))])/([H_(2)O(g]))`
If the volume is halved, concentration will increase. There are two terms in the numeraor. To keep K constant `[H_(2)O]` should increase much more.
