For the reaction 2SO(2)(g)+O(2)(g)=2SO...

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?

A

The equilibrium constant decreases as the temperature increases

B

The equilibrium constant is large suggestive of reaction going to completion and so no catalyst is required

C

The equilibrium will shift in forward direction as the pressure increases

D

The addition of inert gas at constant volume will not affect the equilibrium constant

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Requirement of catalyst for a reaction can not be predicted by volume of its equilibrium constant.
