STANDARD Chemistry Le Chatelier's Principle MCQ Question
In which of the following reaction the increase in pressure will favour the increase in products?
N₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇌ 2NO(g)
PCl₃(g) + Cl₂(g) ⇌ PCl₅(g)
PCl₅(g) ⇌ PCl₃(g) + Cl₂(g)
2CO₂ ⇌ 2CO(g) + O₂(g)
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Decrease in the number of moles in the reaction makes it favorable at high pressure. In option B, the reaction shifts towards fewer moles of gas, favoring product formation.
