Consider the reaction 3Fe(s)+ 4H₂O(g)⇌ 4H₂(g)+ Fe₃O₄(s)If the total pressure is increased by reducing the volume,

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Changing the total pressure by reducing the volume affects the concentrations of gases only. The equilibrium constant is independent of the concentrations of reactants and products, and thus does not change. The amounts of Fe(s), H₂(g), H₂O(g), and Fe₃O₄(s) at equilibrium will depend on the initial concentrations of reactants and the value of the equilibrium constant, which remains unchanged. Therefore, there will be no change in the amount of Fe(s) produced or the amounts of H₂(g) or H₂O(g) present at equilibrium.
