JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 6.1. Equilibrium - 1 (chemical Equilibrium)

The following reaction occurs in the Blast Furnace where iron ore is reduced to iron metal \(F{e_2}{O_3}\left( s \right) + 3CO\left( g \right) \rightleftharpoons 2Fe\left( l \right) + 3C{O_2}\left( g \right)\) Using the Le Chatelier 's principle, predict which one of the following will not disturb the equilibrium ?

  1. A Removal of \(CO\)
  2. B Removal of \(CO_2\)
  3. C Addition of \(CO_2\)
  4. D Addition of \(Fe_2O_3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Addition of \(Fe_2O_3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Perturbation Shifts reaction which way? Removal of \(CO\) Left Removal of \(CO_2\) Right Addition of \(CO_2\) Left Addition of \(Fe_2O_3\) No change (This is a solid compound. Its concentration has no effect on the equilibrium).
