The following equilibrium is exothermic. How could the yield of diiodine pentoxide be increased? I2(g) + 5CO2(g) < --> 5CO(g) + I2O5(g)
A. by decreasing the pressure
B. by increasing the pressure
C. by decreasing the volume of the reaction vessel
D. by decreasing the temperature
E. by increasing the temperature
I2(g) + 5CO2(g) < --> 5CO(g) + I2O5(g)
Exothermic reaction is takes place at low temperature. When temperature is decreases equilibrium shift to right side.
D. by decreasing the temperature
