On application of pressure to the equilibrium system, ice ⇌ water; which of the following phenomenon will occur ?
Correct answer: C. More water will be formed
- A. Water will evaporate
- B. Equilibrium will not be attained
- C. More water will be formed
- D. More ice will be formed
Explanation
Water is denser than ice, so increasing pressure favors the phase occupying less volume, namely liquid water. Therefore, more ice melts and more water is formed.
