Question

Compressing the eqiulibrium mixture of

A2O4 = 2AO2
a) favours reactant
b) favours product
c) consumes A2O4 completely
4) does not affect equilibrium
Explain also :)

Answer 1

As per Le ch.attelors principal

Any external factor like temperature and pressure or concentration applied to mixture can shift the equilibrium.

Here compression denotes to pressure

So

It will increase the production of AO_2

Answer 2

favors product

According to Le Ch a.ttelors principle

• Any external force like temperature, pressure and change in concentration can shift the equilibrium

Here compressing will apply. pressure on reactants side.

So the equilibrium shifts rightkk
