The following reaction occurs in the Blast Furnace where iron ore is reduced to iron metal :
Fe2O3(s) + 3 CO(g) 2 Fe(1) + 3 CO2(g)
Using the Le Chatelier’s principle, predict which one of the following will not disturb the equilibrium ?
Fe2O3(s) + 3 CO(g)
Using the Le Chatelier’s principle, predict which one of the following will not disturb the equilibrium ?
Multiple Choice Options
- A Removal of CO
- B Removal of CO2
- C Addition of CO2
- D Addition of Fe2O3
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Addition of a solid component to a system at constant pressure has no effect on the equilibrium. Therefore, addition of Fe2O3 will not disturb the equilibrium.
