Solution
The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect A change of pressure has no effect in case of the equilibrium, N2(g)+O2(g)⇌2NO(g)
The number of moles of gaseous reactants is equal to the number of moles of gaseous products.
The reaction, N2(g)+O2(g)⇌2NO(g) is a highly endothermic reaction as the triple bond in nitrogen is very strong and requires a large amount of energy for dissociation. The enthalpy change for the reaction is -200 kJ/mol.
Hence, the assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
