It is heterogeneous equilibrium Fe is liquid Fe2O3 is solid whose active mass is taken to be unity so, it will not be considered in kp, kc,& kx expresssion. So, it will not disturb the equilibrium

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?

Addition of $C O_{2}$

Removal of $C O_{2}$

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

Removal of CO

It is heterogeneous equilibrium Fe is liquid Fe₂O₃ is solid whose active mass is taken to be unity so, it will not be considered in k_p, k_c,& k_x expresssion.
So, it will not disturb the equilibrium
