JEE Main 2019Chemical Equilibrium Question with Solution

JEE Main 2019 (10 Apr Shift 2)

Question

For the reaction,

2SO2g+O2g2SO3g,

H=-57.2 kJ mol-1 and Kc=1.7×1016.

Which of the following statements is incorrect?

Choose an option

Show full solutionCorrect option: A
Correct answer
AThe equilibrium constant is large suggestive of reaction going to completion and so, no catalyst is required.

Step-by-step explanation

In option B-Δng is -ve therefore, increase in pressure will bring reaction in forward direction.

In option - as the reaction is exothermic therefore, increase in temperature will decrease the equilibrium constant.

In option - Equilibrium constant changes only with temperature.

Hence, option B, C and D are correct. Therefore, option A is incorrect choice.
