The following reaction occurs in the Blast Furnace where iron ore is reduced to iron metal: Fe2O3(s) + 3 CO(g) leftharpoons 2 Fe(l) + 3 CO2(g) Using the Le Chatelier’s principle, predict which one of the following will not disturb the equilibrium ?

Question

The following reaction occurs in the Blast Furnace where iron ore is reduced to iron metal: Fe2O3(s) + 3 CO(g) leftharpoons 2 Fe(l) + 3 CO2(g) Using the Le Chatelier’s principle, predict which one of the following will not disturb the equilibrium ? (A) Removal of CO (B) Removal of CO2 (C) Addition of CO2 (D) Addition of Fe2O3

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.

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

Removal of $CO$

Removal of $C O_{2}$

Addition of $C O_{2}$

Addition of $F e_{2} O_{3}$

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