Options:
  • A \(\mathrm{H}_2(\mathrm{~g})+\mathrm{I}_2(\mathrm{~g}) \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{HI}(\mathrm{g})\)
  • B \(\mathrm{N}_2(\mathrm{~g})+3 \mathrm{H}_2(\mathrm{~g}) \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{NH}_3(\mathrm{~g})\)
  • C \(2 \mathrm{C}(\mathrm{s})+\mathrm{O}_2(\mathrm{~g}) \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{CO}(\mathrm{g})\)
  • D \(\mathrm{SO}_2(\mathrm{~g})+2 \mathrm{O}_2(\mathrm{~g}) \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{SO}_3(\mathrm{~g})\)

The correct answer is: \(\mathrm{H}_2(\mathrm{~g})+\mathrm{I}_2(\mathrm{~g}) \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{HI}(\mathrm{g})\)
A reaction in which \(\Delta \mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{g}}\) is zero is not affected by change in pressure, considering various given reactions
(a) \(\Delta \mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{g}}=2-2=0\)
(b) \(\Delta \mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{g}}=2-(3+1)=-2\)
(c) \(\Delta \mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{g}}=2-1=+1\)
[Consider only gaseous substances]
(d) \(\Delta \mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{g}}=2-(2+1)=-1\)
Thus, (a) is the correct option.
