Ca(HCO3)2 is strongly heated and after equilibrium is attained, temperature changed to 25° C.

Kp = 36 (pressure taken in atm)
Thus, pressure set up due to CO2 is
  • a)
    36 atm
  • b)
    18 atm
  • c)
    12 atm
  • d)
    6 atm
Correct answer is 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Mira Joshi answered
The reaction is as follow:-
Ca(HCO3)2(s)⇌CaO(s) + 2CO2 (g) + H2O(g)
At 25° C H2O goes in liquid state
Kp = (PCaO)1×(PCO2)2
(PCa(HCO3)2)
Since, Ca(HCO3)2, CaO and H2O are not in gaseous state, so their partial pressure is taken 1.
Putting all values, we have
36 = (PCO2)2 
Or PCO2 = 6 atm

Following equilibrium is set up at 298 K in a 1 L flask.

If one starts with 2 moles of A and 1 mole of B, it is found that moles of B and D are equal.Thus Kc is 
  • a)
    9.0
  • b)
    15.0
  • c)
    3.0
  • d)
    0.0667
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Sushil Kumar answered
For the equilibrium reaction:
A+2B ⇌ 2C+D
volume of flask = 1L
Initial moles of A = 2 mol
initial concentration of A=[A]i = 2 M
initial mole of B = 1 mol 
[B]i = 1 M
[A]eq = 2-x, [B]eq = 1-2x, [C]eq = x, [D]eq = 3x
Given [D]eq = 1 * 1L
= 1 M
Thus x = 1M
[A]eq = 1, [B]eq = -1, [C]eq = 1, [D] = 3
Kc = {([D]eq)3 * ([C]eq)}/{[A]eq * ([B]eq)2
= Kc = {(3)3*1}/{1*(-1)2}
= 27/1
= 27

The exothermic formaton of ClF3 is represented by the equation -
Cl2(g)+3F2(g) 2ClF3(g) ; ΔrH = -329 kJ
Which of the following will increase the quantity of ClF3 in an equilibrium mixture of Cl2, F2 and ClF3 ?
  • a)
    Removing Cl2
  • b)
    Increasing the temperature
  • c)
    Adding F2
  • d)
    Increasing the volume of the container
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Hansa Sharma answered
The correct answer is option C
According to Le-Chatelier's Principle, if a system at equilibrium is subjected to a change of concentration pressure or temperature then the equilibrium is shifted in such a way as to nullify the effect of change.
In the given reaction, if the concentration of F2 is increased then the reaction will shift in the forward direction in order to increase the concentration of ClF3.
Hence, 
Adding F2 .

How many of the following are Lewis bases?
    Correct answer is '6'. Can you explain this answer?

    Pooja Shah answered
    Total number of compounds acting as Lewis base in the given example is 6. H+ and BF3 are electron deficient so they can't act as Lewis base while FeCl3 acts as Lewis acid so all the other compounds except these three are Lewis base.

    • c)
      Decomposition reaction
    • d)
      Irreversible reaction
    Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

    Rajat Kapoor answered
    Reversible Reaction
    The common observation for any reactions when they are reacted in closed containers would not go to completion, for some given conditions like temperature and pressure.
    For all those cases, only the reactants are found to be present in the intial stages, but with the progress of reaction, the reactants concentration decreases and to that of the products increases. A stage is finally reached where there is no more change of reactants and products concentration is observed. The state where the reactants and products concentrations do not show any visible change within a given period of time is better known as the state of chemical equilibrium. 
    The reactant amount that remains unused depends upon the experimental conditions like concentration of components, temperature of the system, pressure of the system and the reaction nature.

    Following equilibrium is set up at 1000 K and 1 bar in a 5 L flask,

    At equilibrium, NO2 is 50% o f the total volume. Thus, equilibrium constant Kc is 
    • a)
      0.133
    • b)
      0.266
    • c)
      0.200
    • d)
      0.400
    Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

    The correct answer is Option A.    
                    N2O4  ⇌  2NO2
    Initial            1                 0           
    Equilibrium  1−x             2x
    Total moles = 1 - x + 2x 
    NO2 is 50% of the total volume when equilibrium is set up.
    Thus, the volume fraction (at equilibrium) of NO2 = 50/100 = 0.5 = ½
    So,    2x / (1+x) = ½
         => x = ⅓
    For 1 litre;
    Kc = [NO2] / [N2O4]
        = [4*(1/9)] / [⅔]
        = 0.66; 
    For 5 litres; 
    Kc = 0.66 / 5
    = 0.133
    Thus, option A is correct.
     

    Assume following equilibria when total pressure set up in each are equal to 1 atm, and equilibrium constant (Kp) as K1; K2 and K3


    Thus,
    • a)
       K1 = K2 = K3
    • b)
      K1 < K2 < K3
    • c)
      K3 < K2 < K1
    • d)
      None of these
    Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

    The correct answer is option C
    CaCO3 ​→ CaO + CO2​
    Kp​ = k1 ​= Pco2​​
    total pressure of container P
    k1​ = p
    NH4​HS → NH3 ​+ H2​S
    PNH3​​ = PH2​S ​= P0​
    P0​ + P0​ = p (total pressure)
    P0 ​= p/2
    k2​ = kp ​= [PNH3​​][PH2​s​] p24
    NH2​CoNH2 ​→ 2NH3 ​+ CO2​
    PNH3​​ = 2P0​        PCO2​ ​= P0​

    Application of pressure on this equilibrium
    • a)
      cause formation of more ice
    • b)
      cause fusion of ice
    • c)
      has no effect
    • d)
      lower the melting point
    Correct answer is option 'B,D'. Can you explain this answer?

    Krishna Iyer answered
    The correct answers are Options B and D. 
     
    As we know that reaction is exothermic it means heat is released in the reaction so, if we apply pressure then reaction will proceed in backward direction but if there is gas phase equilibrium the reaction will shift in that direction in which less number of moles are present. If pressure increases then the ice will melt and ice gets more energy at low temp. To melt ,so it’s melting point decreases.
     

    We know that the relationship between Kc and Kp is Kp = Kc (RT)Δn
    What would be the value of Δn for the reaction NH4Cl (s) ⇔ NH3 (g) + HCl (g)
    a)1
    b)0.5
    c)1.5
    d)2
    Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

    Nandini Patel answered
    The answer is d.
    The relationship between Kp and Kc is
    Kp = Kc (RT) ∆n
    Where ∆n = (number of moles of gaseous products) – (number of moles of gaseous reactants)
    For the reaction,
    NH4C1(s) ⇆ NH3(g) + HCl(g)
    ∆n = 2 – 0 = 2

    Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

    Om Desai answered
    Bronsted lowry acids are those acids which donate H+. In the reaction, A and D are giving H+. So, these both are bronsted lowry acid.

    Sushil Kumar answered
     NH4HS (s)  ⇋ NH3 (g) + H2S (g)
    Initial    1                   -               -
    At eqm     1-x                 x+0.02     x
    Kc = [NH3][H2S]   (Since NH4HS is solid, we ignore it.)
    1.8×10-4    = (x+0.02)(x)
    x2+0.02x-1.8×10-4 = 0
    Applying quadratic formula; x = -0.02+√{(0.02)2-4×1.8×10-4}
    = 0.033-0.020/2 = 0.0065
    Therefore, concn of NH3 at equilibrium = x+0.020 = 0.0265
    concn of H2S at equilibrium = x = 0.0065
    So, option b is correct

    • b)
      increasing temperature and pressure both
    • c)
      decreasing temperature and pressure both
    • d)
      decreasing temperature and increasing pressure
    Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

    Sushil Kumar answered
    The correct answer is Option A.
    When ammonia is added after equilibrium is established, the partial pressure of ammonia will increase.When the temperature of an endothermic reaction is increased, the equilibrium will shift in the forward direction so that the heat is absorbed which will nullify the effect of increased temperature. Hence, the partial pressure of ammonia will increase.When the volume of the flask is increased, the pressure will decrease.

    Knowledge Hub answered
    The state of HCl is given wrong. It will be in gaseous state.
    So, the reaction be like;-
    NH4Cl(s)  ⇌  NH3(g) + HCl(g)        kp = 1.00×10-2 at 275° C
    Kp = kc(RT)2
    1.00×10-2 = kc(0.0821×548)2
    Or kc = 4.94×10-6
                              NH4Cl(s)  ⇌  NH3(g) + HCl(g)
    Initial  1                     -             -
    At eqm 1-x                  x            x 
    Kc = x2
    x = √(4.94×10-6)
    =  2.22×10-3
    Therefore, NH4Cl dissociated at eqm = 2.22×10-3 × 53.5 = 0.118
    %age decomposition = 0.118/0.980×100 = 12.13%

      C(s) + CO2(g) <=========> 2CO(g)
      Kp = pCO2/pCO2

      Putting the value of pCO in above equation,
      63 = 100(pCO2)2/pCO2

      Preeti Iyer answered
      The equilibrium state can only be reached if the chemical reaction takes place in a closed system. Otherwise, some of the products may escape, leading to the absence of a reverse reaction. (Note that in the diagrams under "Characteristics of Chemical Equilibrium," all reactions are in closed systems.)
