Question

When pressure is applied to the equilibrium system: Ice ⇌ water, which of the following phenomenon will happen?

Answer: C

💡 Solution & Explanation

The density of water is greater than that of ice, meaning water occupies a smaller volume. According to Le Chatelier's principle, applying pressure shifts the equilibrium towards the state with the smaller volume, so ice melts. Therefore, correct answer is C.
