Question

In what manner will increase of pressure affect the following equation? C(s)+H2O(g)CO(g)+H2O(g)  (A) Shift in the forward direction (B) Shift in the reverse direction (C) Increase in the yield of hydrogen (D) No effect

np (number of gaseous products)= 2 np (number of gaseous reactants) = 1 ∵ np>nr Thus, according to Le-Chateliers principle, increase in pressure shifts the equilibrium towards left hand side (reactant side).

Q. In what manner will increase of pressure affect the following equation? $C (s) + H_{2} O (g) CO (g) + H_{2} O (g)$

Shift in the forward direction

Shift in the reverse direction

Increase in the yield of hydrogen

No effect

$n_{p}$ (number of gaseous products)= 2 $n_{p}$ (number of gaseous reactants) = 1 $∵$ $n_{p} > n_{r}$ Thus, according to Le-Chateliers principle, increase in pressure shifts the equilibrium towards left hand side (reactant side).
