Equilibrium Question 260
Question: For the reaction $ CO(g)+H_2O(g) $ ⇌ $ CO_2(g)+H_2(g) $ at a given temperature, the equilibrium amount of $ CO_2(g) $ can be increased by [IIT 1998]
Options:
A) Adding a suitable catalyst
B) Adding an inert gas
C) Decreasing the volume of the container
D) Increasing the amount $ CO(g) $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
According to Le chatelier’s principle.At constant volume, there is no effect of addition of inert gas to a reaction in equilibrium.
