Question
The increase of pressure on ice $$ \rightleftharpoons $$ water system at constant temperature will lead to
A.
a decrease in the entropy of the system
B.
an increase in the Gibb’s energy of the system
C.
no effect on the equilibrium
D.
a shift of the equilibrium in the forward direction
Answer :
a shift of the equilibrium in the forward direction
Solution :
Volume of ice is greater than that of water. The direction in which the reaction will
proceed can be predicted by applying Le-Chatelier's principle
$${\text{Pressure}} \propto \frac{1}{{{\text{Volume}}}}$$
So equilibrium, will shift forward.
