For the reaction ,

2SO_{2}\left ( g \right )+O_{2}\left ( g \right )\rightleftharpoons 2SO_{3}\left ( g \right ),

\Delta H=-57.2\; kJ\; mol^{-1}\; and

K_{c}=1.7\times 10^{16}.

Which of the following statement is INCORRECT ?

  • Option 1)

    The equilibrium constant is large suggestive of reaction going to completion and so no catalyst is required .

  • Option 2)

    The equilibrium will shift in forward direction as the pressure increases.

  • Option 3)

    The equilibrium constant decreases as the temperature increases.

  • Option 4)

    The addition of inert gas at constant volume will not affect the equilibrium constant.

Option 2 \rightarrow \Delta n_{g}=-ve so, increase in pressure will bring reaction in forward direction , it is correct.

Option 3\rightarrow \Delta H=-57.2 means reaction is exothermic so, equlibrium constant decreases as the temperature increases.

Option 4\rightarrow Equilibrium constant depend or change only with temperature .

 Option2,3,4 is correct so, Option (1) is incorrect.
