The equilibrium HX2(g)+IX2(g)2HI(g) is established in a closed vessel. If the volume of the vessel is reduced at constant temperature, the amount of HI
Aincreases, as pressure favours the product
Bdecreases, as pressure favours the reactants
Cincreases, as Kc increases
Dremains unchanged, as Δng=0
Answer: D
Both sides contain 2 mol of gas, so Qc is unaffected by a change in volume and the equilibrium does not shift. Concentrations rise, but the amount of HI stays the same.
