The effect of increasing pressure on the gaseous equilibrium of the reaction 2X + 3Y ⇌ 3X + 2Y indicates that____________________?
Correct answer: A. Pressure has no effect
- A. Pressure has no effect
- B. Backward reaction is favoured
- C. Forward reaction is favoured
- D. None of these
Explanation
The reaction has five total moles of gaseous reactants and five total moles of gaseous products. Because the change in total gas moles is zero, pressure does not shift the equilibrium.
