JEE Main 2020 — Chemical Equilibrium Question with Solution
JEE Main 2020 (05 Sep Shift 1)
Question
Consider the following reaction:
For each of the following cases , the direction in which the equilibrium shifts is:
(a) Temperature is decreased.
(b) Pressure is increased by adding at constant T.
Choose an option
Show full solutionCorrect option: C
Correct answer
C(a) towards reactant, (b) no change
Step-by-step explanation
(i) As reaction is endothermic so on decrease in temperature equilibrium shift in reactant side.
(ii) On increase in pressure by adding inert gas at same temperature, no shifting will take place
(ii) On increase in pressure by adding inert gas at same temperature, no shifting will take place
