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

${Fe}_{2} O_{3 (s)} + 3 {CO}_{(g)} ⇌ {Fe}_{(l)} + 3 {CO}_{2 (g)}$

Using the Le-chatelier's principle, predict which one of the following will not disturb the equilibrium.

Accepted Answer

For the reaction :

${Fe}_{2} O_{3 (s)} + 3 {CO}_{(g)} ⇌ {Fe}_{(l)} + 3 {CO}_{2 (g)}$

Addition or removal of ${Fe}_{2} O_{3 (s)}$ and/or ${Fe}_{(l)}$ will not affect the equilibrium quotient and the equilibrium.
