$$3.2\,moles$$ of hydrogen iodide were heated in a sealed bulb at $${444^ \circ }C$$ till the equilibrium state was reached. Its degree of dissociation at this temperature was found to be $$22\% $$ The number of moles of hydrogen iodide present at equilibrium are
A
2.496
B
1.87
C
2
D
4
Answer :
2.496
$$2HI \rightleftharpoons {H_2} + {I_2}.$$ It is 22% decomposed ,
$$\therefore \,\,\frac{{3.20 \times 22}}{{100}} = 0.704$$
$$(3.2–0.704)$$ is equal to $$HI$$ present at equilibrium which is = 2.496

$$28g\,{N_2}$$ and $$6.0\,g$$ of $${H_2}$$ are heated over catalyst in a closed one litre flask of $${450^ \circ }C.$$ The entire equilibrium mixture required $$500\,mL$$ of $$1.0\,M\,{H_2}S{O_4}$$ for neutralisation. The value of $${K_c}$$ for the reaction

B
Equilibrium can be obtained when $${H_2}$$ and $${I_2}$$ are mixed in an open vessel.
C
The concentrations of $${H_2}$$ and $${I_2}$$ keep decreasing while concentration of $$HI$$ keeps increasing with time.
D
We can find out equilibrium concentration of $${H_2}$$ and $${I_2}$$ from the given graph.
Answer :
Chemical equilibrium in the reaction, $${H_2} + {I_2} \rightleftharpoons 2HI$$ can be attained from either directions.
Equilibrium can be attained by either side of the reactions of equilibrium.

Change in volume of the system does not alter which of the following equilibria?
A
$${N_2}\left( g \right) + {O_2}\left( g \right) \rightleftharpoons 2NO\left( g \right)$$
B
$$PC{l_5}\left( g \right) \rightleftharpoons PC{l_3}\left( g \right) + C{l_2}\left( g \right)$$
C
$${N_2}\left( g \right) + 3{H_2}\left( g \right) \rightleftharpoons 2N{H_3}\left( g \right)$$
D
$$S{O_2}C{l_2}\left( g \right) \rightleftharpoons S{O_2}\left( g \right) + C{l_2}\left( g \right)$$
Answer :
$${N_2}\left( g \right) + {O_2}\left( g \right) \rightleftharpoons 2NO\left( g \right)$$
In this reaction the ratio of number of moles of reactants to products is same i.e. 2 : 2, hence change in volume will not alter the number of moles.

For the reaction,
$$C{H_4}\left( g \right) + 2\,{O_2}\left( g \right) \rightleftharpoons $$ $$C{O_2}\left( g \right) + 2\,{H_2}O\left( l \right),$$ $${\Delta _r}H = - 170.8\,kJ\,mo{l^{ - 1}}$$
Which of the following statement is not true ?
A
At equilibrium, the concentrations of $$C{O_2}\left( g \right)$$ and $${H_2}O\left( l \right)$$ are not equal
B
The equilibrium constant for the reaction is given by $${K_p} = \frac{{\left[ {C{O_2}} \right]}}{{\left[ {C{H_4}} \right]\left[ {{O_2}} \right]}}$$
C
Addition of $$C{H_4}\left( g \right)$$ or $${O_2}\left( g \right)$$ at equilibrium will cause a shift to the right
D
The reaction is exothermic
Answer :
The equilibrium constant for the reaction is given by $${K_p} = \frac{{\left[ {C{O_2}} \right]}}{{\left[ {C{H_4}} \right]\left[ {{O_2}} \right]}}$$
For the reaction,
$$\eqalign{
& C{H_4}\left( g \right) + 2{O_2}\left( g \right) \rightleftharpoons C{O_2}\left( g \right) + 2{H_2}O\left( l \right) \cr
& \Delta {H_r} = - 170.8\,k\,J\,mo{l^{ - 1}} \cr} $$
This equilibrium is an example of heterogeneous chemical equilibrium. Hence, for it
$${K_c} = \frac{{\left[ {C{O_2}} \right]}}{{\left[ {C{H_4}} \right]{{\left[ {{O_2}} \right]}^2}}}\,\,\,...{\text{(i)}}$$
( equilibrium constant on the basis of concentration )
and $${K_p} = \frac{{{p_{C{O_2}}}}}{{{p_{C{H_4}}} \times {P_{O_2^2}}}}\,\,...{\text{(ii)}}$$
( equilibrium constant according to partial pressure )
Thus, in this concentration of $$C{O_2}\left( g \right)$$ and $${H_2}O\left( l \right)$$ are not equal at equilibrium.
The equilibrium constant $$\left( {{K_p}} \right) = \frac{{\left[ {C{O_2}} \right]}}{{\left[ {C{H_4}} \right]\left[ {{O_2}} \right]}}$$ is not correct expression.
On adding $$C{H_4}\left( g \right)$$ or $${O_2}\left( g \right)$$ at equilibrium, $${K_C}$$ will be decreased according to expression (i) but
$${K_C}$$ remains constant at constant temperature for a reaction, so for maintaining the constant value of $${K_C},$$ the concentration of $$C{O_2}$$ will increased in same order. Hence, on addition of $$C{H_4}$$ or $${O_2}$$ equilibrium will cause to the right.
Combustion reaction is an example of exothermic reaction.

For the chemical reaction $$3X\left( g \right) + Y\left( g \right) \rightleftharpoons {X_3}Y\left( g \right),$$ the amount of $${X_3}Y$$ at equilibrium is affected by
A
temperature and pressure
B
temperature only
C
pressure only
D
temperature, pressure and catalyst
Answer :
temperature and pressure
The given reaction will be exothermic in nature due to the formation of three $$X{\text{ - }}Y$$ bonds from the gaseous atoms. The reaction is also accompanied with the decrease in the gaseous species $$\left( {{\text{i}}{\text{.e}}.\,\,\Delta n\,{\text{is}}\,{\text{negative}}} \right).$$
Hence, the reaction will be affected by both temperature and pressure. The use of catalyst does not affect the equilibrium concentrations of the species in the chemical reaction.
