JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2017 - 9th April Morning Slot - No. 15)
The following reaction occurs in the Blast Furnace where iron ore is reduced to iron
metal :
Fe2O3(s) + 3 CO(g) $$\rightleftharpoons$$ 2 Fe(1) + 3 CO2(g)
Using the Le Chatelier’s principle, predict which one of the following will not disturb the equilibrium ?
Fe2O3(s) + 3 CO(g) $$\rightleftharpoons$$ 2 Fe(1) + 3 CO2(g)
Using the Le Chatelier’s principle, predict which one of the following will not disturb the equilibrium ?
Removal of CO
Removal of CO2
Addition of CO2
Addition of Fe2O3
Explanation
Addition of a solid component to a system at constant
pressure has no effect on the equilibrium. Therefore,
addition of Fe2O3 will not disturb the equilibrium.
