Reversible reactions and equilibrium — practice question

Ethanol is produced by reacting ethene with steam. $\text{C}_2\text{H}_4(g) + \text{H}_2\text{O}(g) \rightleftharpoons \text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{OH}(g)$. The reaction is carried out at $300^{\circ}\text{C}$ and $60\ \text{atm}$. The forward reaction is exothermic. Which rows show how the equilibrium yield of $\text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{OH}$ is affected when each stated change is made?

  • A1 and 2
  • B1 and 3
  • C2 only
  • D3 only
