Using Le Chatelier's principle, predict which one of the following will not disturb the equilibrium.

The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Adding Fe2O3 will not disturb the equilibrium as it is a solid and its concentration does not appear in the equilibrium constant expression. Adding CO2 or removing CO2 will shift the equilibrium as per Le-Chatelier’s principle. Removing CO will also disturb the equilibrium by shifting it toward the reactants.
Thus, the correct answer is Option (1).
