The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the physical equilibrium of ice converting to water, we need to analyze the factors that affect this equilibrium. The equilibrium can be represented as: \[ \text{Ice} \rightleftharpoons \text{Water} \] ### Step 1: Understand the Forward and Backward Reactions - The forward reaction is the melting of ice to form water. - The backward reaction is the freezing of water to form ice. ### Step 2: Analyze the Effect of Temperature - Increasing temperature favors the forward reaction (melting), as heat is required to convert ice (solid) into water (liquid). - Therefore, increasing temperature will not hinder the forward reaction. ### Step 3: Analyze the Effect of Pressure - The equilibrium involves a phase change from solid (ice) to liquid (water). - Generally, for most substances, increasing pressure favors the phase that occupies less volume. - In this case, ice (solid) occupies more volume than water (liquid). Thus, increasing pressure would favor the backward reaction (freezing). ### Step 4: Conclusion - The forward reaction (ice to water) is not favored by increasing pressure because it encourages the backward reaction (water to ice). - Therefore, the correct answer is that the forward reaction is not favored by **increasing pressure**. ### Final Answer: The forward reaction is not favored by increasing pressure. ---
