Q. When pressure is applied to the equilibrium system ice r water. Which of the following phenomenon will happen?

A) More ice will be formed
B) Water will evaporate
C) More water will be formed
D) Equilibrium will not be formed
Explanation

(c)
According to Le-Chatelier’s principle when a system at equilibrium is subjected to change in pressure, temperature or concentration then the equilibrium is disturbed and shifts in a direction where the effect of change is annuled.
$Ice \rightleftharpoons water$
When pressure is increased in this system, the melting point of ice is decreased $i.e$., more ice melts and more water is formed.
