Question

According to Le Chatelier's principle, adding heat to a solid and liquid in equilibrium will cause the 

(a) temperature to increase 

(b) temperature to decrease 

(c) amount of liquid to decrease 

(d) amount of solid to decrease.

Answer 1

The correct option is: (d) amount of solid to decrease.

Explanation:

When solid and liquid are in equilibrium, the increase in temperature results in increase in volume of liquid or decrease in the amount of solid.

Solid ⇋ Liquid

With increase in temperature equilibrium shifts in forward direction.
