From: JEE Main 2017 (Online) 9th April Morning Slot
Question
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 ?

Show full solutionCorrect option: D
Correct answer
DAddition of Fe2O3
Step-by-step explanation
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.
