NEET Solved Paper 2018 Question 38

Question: Which one of the following conditions will favour maximum formation of the product in the reaction, $ A _2(g)+B _2(g)X _2(g){\Delta_r}H=-XkJ? $ [NEET - 2018]

Options:

A) High temperature and high pressure

B) Low temperature and low pressure

C) Low temperature and high pressure

D) High temperature and low pressure

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ A _2(g)+B _2(g)X _2(g);\Delta H=-xkJ $

On increasing pressure equilibrium shifts in a direction where pressure decreases i.e. forward direction.

On decreasing temperature, equilibrium shifts in exothermic direction i.e., forward direction.

So, high pressure and low temperature favours maximum formation of product.
