Q. The following reaction occurs in the Blast Furnace where iron ore is reduced to iron metal :
$Fe_2O_3(s) + 3 CO_{(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2 \, Fe_{(l)} + 3 \, CO_{2(g)}$
Using the Le Chatelier’s principle, predict which one of the following will not disturb the equilibrium ?

Solution:

Addition of $F _{2} O _{3}$ will not disturb the equilibrium. $Fe _{2} O _{3}$ is in soli state and its concentration remains unchanged when more $Fe _{2} O _{3}$ is added.
