The equilibrium constants of the following are
$$\eqalign{
& {N_2} + 3{H_2} \rightleftharpoons 2N{H_3};\,\,{K_1} \cr
& {N_2} + {O_2} \rightleftharpoons 2NO;\,\,{K_2} \cr
& {H_2} + \frac{1}{2}{O_2} \to {H_2}O;\,\,{K_3} \cr} $$
The equilibrium constant $$(K)$$ of the reaction
will be
$$K = ?\,\,\,\,...{\text{(iv)}}$$
On reversing the equation (i) and multiplying the equation (iii) by 3, we get
$$\eqalign{
& 2N{H_3} \rightleftharpoons {N_2} + 3{H_2},\frac{1}{{{K_1}}}\,\,...{\text{(v)}} \cr
& 3{H_2} + \frac{3}{2}{O_2} \to 3{H_2}O,\,\,K_3^3\,\,...{\text{(vi)}} \cr} $$
Now, add equation. (ii), (v) and (vi), we get the resultant equation. (iv).

For the reaction $$PC{l_{5\left( g \right)}} \rightleftharpoons PC{l_{3\left( g \right)}} + C{l_{2\left( g \right)}},$$ the forward reaction at constant temperature is favoured by
A
introducing an inert gas at constant volume
B
introducing $$C{l_2}$$ at constant volume
C
introducing $$PC{l_5}$$ at constant volume
D
reducing the volume of the container
Answer :
introducing $$PC{l_5}$$ at constant volume
$$PC{l_{5\left( g \right)}} \rightleftharpoons PC{l_{3\left( g \right)}} + C{l_{2\left( g \right)}}$$
If concentration of $$PC{l_5}$$ is increased, the forward reaction is favoured.

$$1\,mole$$ of $$NO$$ and $$1\,mole$$ of $${O_3}$$ are taken in a $$10\,L$$ vessel and heated. At equilibrium, $$50\% $$ of $$NO$$ ( by mass ) reacts with $${O_3}$$ according to the equation : $$N{O_{\left( g \right)}} + {O_{3\left( g \right)}} \rightleftharpoons N{O_{2\left( g \right)}} + {O_{2\left( g \right)}}.$$ What will be the equilibrium constant for this reaction?
25.
In an experiment, $$N{O_2}$$ gas isprepared and taken into 3 test tubes $$X, Y$$ and $$Z.$$ $$N{O_2}$$ gas which is brown in colour dimerises into $${N_2}{O_4}$$ which is colourless. Test tube $$X$$ is kept at room temperature, $$Y$$ is kept in ice and $$Z$$ is kept in hot water. What colour changes will you observe in the test tubes and why?
$$\mathop {2N{O_{2\left( g \right)}}}\limits_{{\text{Brown}}} \rightleftharpoons \mathop {{N_2}{O_{4\left( g \right)}}}\limits_{{\text{Colourless}}} ;\Delta H = - 57.2\,kJ\,mo{l^{ - 1}}$$
A
In test tube $$X,$$ brown colour intensifies since backward reaction is favoured at low temperature.
B
In test tube $$Y,$$ brown colour intensifies since backward reaction takes place at room temperature.
C
In test tube $$Z,$$ brown colour intensifies since high temperature favours the backward reaction.
D
Brown colour of test tubes $$X, Y$$ and $$Z$$ remains same since there is no effect of change in temperature on the reaction.
Answer :
In test tube $$Z,$$ brown colour intensifies since high temperature favours the backward reaction.
It is an exothermic reaction, hence the forward reaction is favoured at low temperature which means colourless $${N_2}{O_4}$$ will be formed resulting in decrease in intensity of brown colour. High temperature favours backward reaction resulting in formation of $$N{O_2},$$ thus intensifying brown colour.

The equilibrium constant, $${K_c}$$ for the reaction of hydrogen with iodine is 57.0 at 700 $$K,$$ and the reaction is exothermic
Which of the following is a correct relation?
27.
For the reaction $${H_2}\left( g \right) + {I_2}\left( g \right) \rightleftharpoons 2HI\left( g \right)$$ at 721$$\,K,$$ the value of equilibrium constant is 50, when equilibrium concentration of both is 5$$M.$$ Value of $${K_p}$$ under the same conditions will be
A
0.02
B
0.2
C
50
D
50$$\,RT$$
Answer :
50
$$\eqalign{
& {H_2}\left( g \right) + {I_2}\left( g \right) \rightleftharpoons 2HI\left( g \right) \cr
& {K_p} = {K_c}{\left( {RT} \right)^{\Delta n}}; \cr
& \Delta n = 2 - 2 = 0;\,\,\,\therefore \,\,{K_p} = {K_c} \cr} $$
28.
When sulphur is heated at $$900\,K,{S_8}$$ is converted to $${S_2}.$$ What will be the equilibrium constant for the reaction if initial pressure of $$1\,atm$$ falls by $$25\% $$ at equilibrium?
29.
The reaction quotient $$(Q)$$ for the reaction, $${N_2}\left( g \right) + 3{H_2}\left( g \right) \rightleftharpoons 2N{H_3}\left( g \right)$$ is given by $$Q = \frac{{{{\left[ {N{H_3}} \right]}^2}}}{{\left[ {{N_2}} \right]{{\left[ {{H_2}} \right]}^3}}}.$$ The reaction will proceed towards right side, if
where, $${K_c}$$ is the equilibrium constant.
A
$$Q > {K_c}$$
B
$$Q = 0$$
C
$$Q = {K_c}$$
D
$$Q < {K_c}$$
Answer :
$$Q > {K_c}$$
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{For the reaction,}} \cr
& {N_2}\left( g \right) + 3{H_2}\left( g \right) \rightleftharpoons 2N{H_3}\left( g \right) \cr
& Q{\text{(Quotient) = }}\frac{{{{\left[ {N{H_3}} \right]}^2}}}{{\left[ {{N_2}} \right]{{\left[ {{H_2}} \right]}^3}}}, \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\Delta {n_g} = 2 - 4 \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = - 2 \cr} $$
At equilibrium $$Q$$ is equal to $${K_c}$$ but for the progress of reaction towards right side, $$Q > {K_c}$$

At $$473\,K,$$ equilibrium constant, $${K_c}$$ for decomposition of phosphorus pentachloride, $$PC{l_5}$$ is $$8.3 \times {10^{ - 3}}.$$ If decomposition is depicted as : $$PC{l_{5\left( g \right)}} \rightleftharpoons PC{l_{3\left( g \right)}} + C{l_{2\left( g \right)}};$$ $${\Delta _r}{H^ \circ } = 124.0\,kJ\,mo{l^{ - 1}}$$
what would be the effect on reaction if the temperature is increased?
A
Reaction will shift in the backward direction.
B
Reaction will shift in the forward direction.
C
Reaction is in equilibrium.
D
Reaction first moves forward and then remains at equilibrium.
Answer :
Reaction will shift in the forward direction.
As the reaction is endothermic, the increase in temperature will favour the forward reaction. More $$PC{l_5}$$ will dissociate to form $$PC{l_3}$$ and $$C{l_2}.$$
