Question

The increase of pressure on ice ⇋ water system at constant temperature will lead to :

(1) a decrease in the entropy of the system

(2) an increase in the Gibbs energy of the system

(3) no effect on the equilibrium

(4) a shift of the equilibrium in the forward direction 

Answer 1

Correct option (4) a shift of the equilibrium in the forward direction 

Explanation:

On increasing pressure, reaction shifts in the direction of increasing density. Water has higher density than ice. So reaction shifts in forward direction.
