Reason
Since forward reaction is endothermic in nature and volume of water is greater than that of the volume of ice.
Assertion
For the physical equilibrium H20(s) = H2O(l) on increasing temperature and increasing pressure more water will form.
A) The forward reaction is exothermic, and increasing temperature and pressure will favor the formation of more ice.
B) The forward reaction is endothermic, and increasing temperature and pressure will favor the formation of more ice.
C) The forward reaction is exothermic, and increasing temperature and pressure will favor the formation of more water.
D) The forward reaction is endothermic, and increasing temperature and pressure will favor the formation of more water.
