A Levels Chemistry (9701)•9701/11/O/N/21

Explanation
Not enough information to determine the effect on Fe mass
Steps:
- Identify the chemical equilibrium reaction involving Fe and the four substances, including steam (H2O).
- Apply Le Chatelier's principle to each change to see if the position shifts, affecting solid Fe amount.
- Note that without the specific reaction and stoichiometry, effects cannot be predicted.
- Conclude ambiguity due to missing details on the equilibrium.
Why D is correct:
- Insufficient details provided; D cannot be evaluated without the full reaction.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Unknown if adding H2O shifts equilibrium without reaction details.
- B: Unknown if pressure change shifts without knowing gas mole change (Δn_g).
- C: Catalysts never shift equilibrium position, per definition, but irrelevant without context.
Final answer: Not enough information.
