In which of the following reactions, an increase in the volume of the container will favour the formation of products?

Multiple Choice Options

  • A 2NO2(g) ⇌\rightleftharpoons 2NO(g) + O2(g)
  • B H2(g) + I2(g) ⇌\rightleftharpoons 2HI(g)
  • C 4NH3(g) + 5O2(g) ⇌\rightleftharpoons 4NO(g) + 6H2O(1)
  • D 3O2 (g) ⇌\rightleftharpoons 2O3(g)

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

From Boyle's law, we know when volume increase then pressure decreases, and to keep the pressure on original value the reaction should proceeds in the direction where the number of moles of gases increases.

In this reaction, only satisfy this.

2 NO2(g) ⇌\rightleftharpoons 2 NO(g) + O2 (g)

∴    \therefore\,\,\,\, Δ\Delta ng = (2 + 1) −- 2 = 1
