Q. Ice and water are placed in a closed container at a pressure of $1 \,atm$ and temperature $273\, K$. If pressure of the system is increased to $2 \,atm$ while keeping temperature constant, which of the following would be the correct observation?

Equilibrium

Solution:

Ice $\rightleftharpoons$ water; due to conversion of ice to water volume decreases.
Due to increase in pressure, the conversion of ice to water is favored.
