Question

For the reaction, $$ \begin{aligned} & 2 \mathrm{SO}_2(\mathrm{~g})+\mathrm{O}_2(\mathrm{~g}) \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{SO}_3(\mathrm{~g}) \\ & \Delta \mathrm{H}=-57.2 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1} \text { and } \mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{c}}=1.7 \times 10^{16} . \end{aligned} $$
Which of the following statement is INCORRECT?

Select the correct option:

The equilibrium constant is large suggestive of reaction going to completion and so no catalyst is required.

The addition of inert gas at constant volume will not affect the equilibrium constant.

The equilibrium will shift in forward direction as the pressure increases.

The equilibrium constant decreases as the temperature increases.

✓ Correct! Well done.

✗ Incorrect. Try again or view the solution.
