When pressure is applied to the equilibrium system ice ⇌ water. Which of the following phenomenon will happen?
Correct answer: B. More water will be formed
- A. More ice will be formed
- B. More water will be formed
- C. Water will evaporate
- D. Equilibrium will not be formed
Explanation
As ice has more volume (less density )than water , hence when the pressure is applied system moves toward the direction where volume is less according to the Le-chatelier's principle. Hence, more water is produced.

About Chemical Equilibrium
Reversible reactions reach dynamic equilibrium when forward and reverse rates become equal, and Le Chatelier's principle predicts the effect of changing concentration, pressure or temperature. The chapter also covers solubility product, the common ion effect, buffer action and the conditions used in Haber's process, with equilibrium shifts distinguished from changes in the equilibrium constant.
