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

For pressure 2 affect d system, den d number of moles of reactant must b different frm dat of the product.. Since d number of moles of d reactant equals d number of moles of the product. Den pressure will b of no effect. i.e option B,C,E ar out.. An icrease in temperature of an exothermic reaction favours d backward reaction, while a decrease in temperature favours the foward reaction.. Dat settles it.

ANS is D,1MOLE+1MOLE=2MOLE that shows that pressure has no effects,it is exothermic reaction so decrease in temperature wud favour forward reaction

There is a rule which says: increase in temperature favours d backward reaction of an exothermic changes and vice versa. Hence, i go for option D

since they are in equilibrium pressure has no effect on the system therefore, D is the answer.
