Question

Consider the following reversible reaction C(s) + O2(g) ←→ CO2 + 393.5 kJ. What reaction rate is favored by an increase in pressure (pressure increased by making volume of container smaller)?

a. Forward
b. Reverse
c. No change
d. Not enough information

Answer 1

The answer is c. No change

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The reaction rate is not influenced by changes in pressure. The reaction rate is determined by factors such as temperature, concentration, and catalysts, but not pressure. Therefore, the answer is (c) No change.
