For the reaction, \(2S{O_2}{\kern 1pt} (g)\, + \,{O_2}\,(g)\, \to \,2S{O_3}\,(g)\) \({\Delta _H}\, = \, - 57.2\,kJ\,mo{l^{ - 1}}\) and \({K_C} = 1.7\, \times \,{10^{16}}\) Which of the following statement is \(INCORRECT\) ?

  1. A The equilibrium constant is large suggestive of reaction going to completion and so no catalyst is required.
  2. B The equilibrium will shift in forward direction as the pressure increase.
  3. C The equilibrium constant decreases as the temperature increases.
  4. D The addition of inert gas at constant volume will not affect the equilibrium constant.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) The equilibrium constant is large suggestive of reaction going to completion and so no catalyst is required.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In option \((B)\,-\,\Delta n_g\) is \(-ve\) therefore increase in pressure will bring reaction in forward direction. In option \((C)-\) as the reaction is exothermic therefore increase in temperature will decrease the equilibrium constant. In option \((D)-\) Equilibrium constant…
