Equilibrium Question 684
Question: In the gaseous equilibrium $ H_2X_2+ $ heat ⇌ $ 2HX $ , the formation of $ HX $ will be favoured by [CPMT 1977]
Options:
A) High pressure and low temperature
B) High temperature and low pressure
C) Low temperature and low pressure
D) High temperature and high pressure
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
$ H_2X_2+ $ heat ⇌ 2HX. Reaction is endothermic and volume increasing in forward direction so according to Le chatelier’s principle for formation of HX, Temperature of the reaction should be high and pressure should be low.
