Which one of the following conditions will favour maximum formation of the product in the reaction:?
- AHigh temperature and high pressure
- BLow temperature and low pressure
- CLow temperature and high pressure
- DHigh temperature and low pressure
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
1. Effect of Temperature: Since the reaction is exothermic ( is negative), low temperature will shift the equilibrium towards the product side.2. Effect of Pressure: The reactant has 2 moles of gas () and the product has 1 mole. Increasing the pressure shifts the equilibrium towards the side with fewer moles of gas, i.e., the product side.Optimal conditions: Low temperature and high pressure.
