Solution
The correct options are A Increasing the temperature C Removing some H2 D Adding some C2H6 (a) The reaction is exothermic, increase in temperature will favour the backward reaction according to Le Chatelier’s principle. (b) Since, change in number of gaseous moles i.e. △ng=1−2=−1, so the increase in pressure will favour forward reaction. (c) Removing H2 (reactant) will favour the backward reaction. (d) Adding C2H6 (product) will favour the backward reaction.
