In which of the following gaseous phase reactions, the equilibrium of the reaction remains unaffected by pressure changes ?

Correct answer: B. N2 + O2 ⇌ 2NO

  • A. 2O3 ⇌ 3O2
  • B. N2 + O2 ⇌ 2NO
  • C. 2NO2 ⇌ N2O4
  • D. 2SO2 + O2 ⇌ 2SO3

Explanation

Pressure has no effect on gas-phase equilibrium when the total gaseous mole number is unchanged. N2 + O2 ⇌ 2NO has two moles of gas on each side, unlike the other choices.
