For the reaction,$2SO_{2(g)} + O_{2(g)} \to 2SO_{3(g)}$
$\Delta H = -57.2 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$ and $K_C = 1.7 \times 10^{16}$
Which of the following statement is $INCORRECT$?

  • A
    The equilibrium constant is large suggestive of reaction going to completion and so no catalyst is required.
  • B
    The equilibrium will shift in forward direction as the pressure increases.
  • C
    The equilibrium constant decreases as the temperature increases.
  • D
    The addition of inert gas at constant volume will not affect the equilibrium constant.
