Question

In which of the following reactions, an increase in the volume of the container will favour the formation of products?

Options

• \[\ce{4NH3(g) + 5O2(g) <=> 4NO(g) + 6H2O(l)}\]

• \[\ce{2NO2(g) <=> 2NO(g) + O2(g)}\]

• \[\ce{3O2 <=> 2O3(g)}\]

• \[\ce{H2(g) + I2(g) <=> 2HI(g)}\]

Answer 1

\[\ce{2NO2(g) <=> 2NO(g) + O2(g)}\]

Explanation:

As volume increases, pressure decreases, and the number of moles of gases increases, the reaction proceeds in the opposite direction.
