Q17 / 90 · JEE Main 2024 (05 Apr Shift 1) · Chemistry

The following reaction occurs in the Blast furnance where iron ore is reduced to iron metal \(\mathrm{Fe}_2 \mathrm{O}_{3(\mathrm{~s})}+3 \mathrm{CO}_{(\mathrm{g})} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{Fe}_{(\mathrm{l})}+3 \mathrm{CO}_{2(\mathrm{~g})}\) Using the Le-chatelier's principle, predict which one of the following will not disturb the equilibrium.

  • A
    Addition of \(\mathrm{CO}_2\)
  • B
    Removal of \(\mathrm{CO}_2\)
  • Correct answer
    C
    Addition of \(\mathrm{Fe}_2 \mathrm{O}_3\)
  • D
    Removal of CO

Solution

When solid added no effect on equilibrium.

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