The following reaction occurs in the Blast Furnace where iron ore is reduced to iron metal :

Fe₂O₃(s) + 3 CO(g) $$\rightleftharpoons$$ 2 Fe(1) + 3 CO₂(g)

Using the Le Chatelier’s principle, predict which one of the following will not disturb the equilibrium ?

A solid XY kept in an evacuated sealed container undergoes decomposition to form a mixture of gases X and Y at temperature T. The equilibrium pressure is 10 bar in this vessel. K_p for this reaction is :

The equilibrium constant at 298 K for a reaction A + B $$\leftrightharpoons$$ C + D is 100. If the initial concentration of all the four species were 1M each, then equilibrium concentration of D (in mol L^–1) will be:

The standard Gibbs energy change at 300 K for the reaction 2A $$\leftrightharpoons$$ B + C is 2494.2 J. At a given time, the composition of the reaction mixture is [A] = 1/2, [B] = 2 and [C] = 1/2. The reaction proceeds in the: [R = 8.314 J/K/mol, e = 2.718]
