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

The increase of pressure on ice \(\rightleftharpoons\) water system at constant temperature will lead to

  1. A a decrease in the entropy of the system
  2. B an increase in the Gibb's energy of the system
  3. C no effect on the equilibrium
  4. D a shift of the equilibrium in the forward direction
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) a shift of the equilibrium in the forward direction

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Volume of ice is greater than that of water. The direction in which the reaction will proceed can be predicted by applying LeChatelier's principle \({\text{Pressure }} \propto {\text{ }}\frac{1}{{{\text{Vo1ume}}}}\) So equilibrium, will shift forward.
