Question
CBSEENCH11008474

Which one of the following conditions will favour maximum formation of the product in the reaction,

  • Low temperature and high pressure

  • Low temperature and low pressure

  • High temperature and low pressure

  • High temperature and high pressure

Solution

A.

Low temperature and high pressure

On increasing pressure equilibrium shift in a direction where number of moles decreases i.e. forward direction.

On decreasing temperature, equilibrium shift n exothermic direction i.e., forward direction.

So high pressure and lower temperature favour maximum formation of product.
