The reaction between hydrogen and iodine may be represented by the equation H2(g)+ I2(g) →…

The reaction between hydrogen and iodine may be represented by the equation H2(g)+ I2(g) → 2HI(g), and is exothermic. Therefore
  • A.
    an increase in temperature favours the forword reaction
  • B.
    an increase in pressure favours the backward reaction
  • C.
    both pressure and temperature muct be increased to favour the forward reaction
  • D.
    a decrease in temperature will favour the forward reaction
  • E.
    a decrease in pressure and an increase in temperature will favour the forward reaction
Correct Answer: Option D
