Question

When a pressure is applied over a system of ice $\rightleftharpoons$ water, what will happen

• A. More water will form
• B. More ice will form
• C. There will be no effect over equilibrium
• D. Water will decompose in $H_2$ and $O_2$

Answer 1

The correct option is A

More water will form

Ice $\rightleftharpoons$​ Water.
Water has lesser volume as compared to Ice (Due to the anamolous expansion of water.) Hence an increase in pressure would favor the forward reaction which leads to lesser volume.
