Question:

Ice and water are placed in a closed container at a pressure of 1 atm and temperature 273.15K. If pressure of the system is increased 2 times, keeping temperature constant, then identify correct observation from the following:

Show Hint

Le Chatelier's principle can help predict how pressure changes affect the phases of a substance in equilibrium.

  • Volume of system increases.
  • The amount of ice decreases.
  • Liquid phase disappears completely.
  • The solid phase (ice) disappears completely.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Increasing the pressure at constant temperature will push the equilibrium towards the liquid phase (since the solid phase occupies less volume). As a result, the amount of ice decreases. Final Conclusion: The correct answer is Option (2), the amount of ice decreases.
