Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

When a chemical reaction proceeds the reactants are converted into products. The energy hill represents the potential energy of the reaction.

There are two conditions: If the reaction is endothermic than the energy of the products is greater than the energy of the reactants and ΔH is positive. This energy gain is shown in the form of a peak. In an exothermic reaction, the energy of the products is lower than the reactants and ΔH is negative.

So the suitable option is D which states that the reaction is endothermic and the potential energy gained by the products is higher when a reaction proceeds.

Required

Two changes would make this reaction reactant-favored

Solution

The formation of H₂O is an exothermic reaction (releases heat)

If the system temperature is raised, then the equilibrium reaction will reduce the temperature by shifting the reaction in the direction that requires heat (endotherms). Conversely, if the temperature is lowered, then the equilibrium shifts to a reaction that releases heat (exothermic)

While on the change in pressure, then the addition of pressure, the reaction will shift towards a smaller reaction coefficient

in the above reaction: the number of coefficients on the left is 3 (2 + 1) while the right is 2

As the temperature rises, the equilibrium will shift towards the endothermic reaction, so the reaction shifts to the left towards H₂ + O₂( reactant-favored)

And reducing the pressure, then the reaction shifts to the left H₂ + O₂( reactant-favored)⇒the number of coefficients is greater
