Question

According to Le-Chatelier's principle, applying high pressure to the physical equilibrium $\text{Ice}(s) \rightleftharpoons \text{Water}(l)$ at $0^\circ\text{C}$ will result in:

Answer: B

💡 Solution & Explanation

Ice has a lower density and thus a higher molar volume than liquid water. Increasing the pressure on the system shifts the equilibrium towards the state with the lesser volume. Since liquid water occupies less volume, more ice melts to form water.
