Equilibrium - Result Question 14
####15. For the reaction
[2006]
$ \begin{gathered} CH_4(g)+2 O_2(g) \rightarrow \Delta_r \rightarrow=-170.8 k J mol^{-1} \end{gathered} CO_2(g)+2 H_2 O(l), $
Which of the following statements is not true ?
(a) The equilibrium constant for the reaction is given by $K_p=\frac{[CO_2]}{[CH_4][O_2]^{2}}$
(b) Addition of $CH_4(g)$ or $O_2(g)$ at equilibrium will cause a shift to the right
(c) The reaction is exothermic
(d) At equilibrium, the concentrations of $CO_2(g)$ and $H_2 O(l)$ are not equal
