Chemistry-Le Chatelier's Principle
NEET Chemistry Le Chatelier's Principle Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Easy-Class 11
Assertion (A): Increasing the pressure on a gaseous equilibrium system will favor the formation of fewer moles of gas. | Reason (R): Le Chatelier's principle states that if a dynamic equilibrium is disturbed by changing the conditions, the position of equilibrium shifts to counteract the change.
A
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true but R is false.
D
A is false.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
According to Le Chatelier's principle, increasing the pressure by decreasing volume causes the equilibrium to shift towards the side with fewer moles of gas to counteract the change.
