Q11 / 90 · JEE Main 2017 (09 Apr Online) · Chemistry

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

Fe2O3s+3COg  ⇌2Fe l+3CO2g

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

  • A
    Addition of CO2
  • B
    Removal of CO2
  • Correct answer
    C
    Addition of Fe2O3
  • D
    Removal of CO

Solution

It is heterogeneous equilibrium Fe is liquid Fe2O3  is solid whose active mass is taken to be unity so, it will not be considered in kp, kc,& kx expresssion.
So, it will not disturb the equilibrium

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
