${Fe}_{2} O_{3} (s) + 3 CO (g) ⇌ {Fe}_{(l)} + 3 {CO}_{2} (g)$

Using the Le-chatelier's principle, predict which one of the following will not disturb the equilibrium. [2024]

${Fe}_{2} O_{3} (s) + 3 CO (g) ⇌ Fe (l) + 3 {CO}_{2} (g)$

$K_{c} = \frac{{[{CO}_{2}]}^{3}}{{[CO]}^{3}}$

$F e_{2} O_{3} (s)$ do not affect the equilibrium. Hence addition or removal of $F e_{2} O_{3} (s)$ or $F e (l)$ do not affect the equilibrium.

Q 2 :
For a certain thermochemical reaction $M \to N$ at $T = 400 K$ , ${ΔH}^{⊝} = 77.2 kJ$ ${mol}^{- 1}, ΔS = 122 {JK}^{- 1}$ , log equilibrium constant (logk) is - ______ $\times 10^{- 1} .$ [2024]

$Δ G ° = Δ H ° - T Δ S °$

$Δ G ° = 77.2 kJ {mol}^{- 1} - 400 K \times 122 {JK}^{- 1}$

$= 77.2 \times 1000 {Jmol}^{- 1} - 400 K \times 122 {JK}^{- 1}$

$= 28400 J {mol}^{- 1}$

$- 2.303 RT \log_{10} K = ΔG °$

$- 2.303 RT \log_{10} K_{eq} = 28400 J {mol}^{- 1}$

$- 2.303 \times 8.314 J {mol}^{- 1} K^{- 1} \times 400 K \times \log_{10} K_{eq} = 28400 J {mol}^{- 1}$

$\log_{10} K_{e q} = - 3.7 = - 37 \times 10^{- 1}$

Q 3 :
For a certain reaction at 300K, K = 10, then $∆ G^{o}$ for the same reaction is _________ $\times 10^{- 1}$ kJ ${mol}^{- 1}$ . (Given R = 8.314 ${JK}^{- 1}$ ${mol}^{- 1}$ ) [2024]

$ΔG ° = - 2.303 RT \log_{10} K$

$=-2.303×8.314 J {mol}^{- 1} K^{- 1} \times 300 K \log_{10} 10$

$= - 5744.143 J {mol}^{- 1}$

$= - 5.744 kJ {mol}^{- 1} \approx - 57 \times 10^{- 1} kJ {mol}^{- 1}$

Q 4 :
Consider the equilibrium

$CO(g) + 3 H_{2} (g) ⇌ {CH}_{4} (g) + H_{2} O(g)$

If the pressure applied over the system increases by two fold at constant temperature then

(A) Concentration of reactants and products increases.
(B) Equilibrium will shift in forward directions.
(C) Equilibrium constant increases since concentration of products increase.
(D) Equilibrium constant remains unchanged as concentration of reactants and products remain same.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below: [2025]

(A) and (B) only
(B) and (C) only
(A), (B) and (C) only

(A) Since pressure is increased, this means volume has been reduced. If volume is reduced, then concentration of each species (reactants as well as products) in the vessel increases.

(B) On increasing the pressure, system moves in a direction with less number of gaseous moles (Le Chatelier’s principle) which is forward direction in given case.

(C) (D) Equilibrium constant does not change upon changing concentration or pressure of reactants or products.

Q 5 :
Given below are two statements:

Statement I: A catalyst cannot alter the equilibrium constant $(K_{c})$ of the reaction, temperature remaining constant.

Statement II: A homogenous catalyst can change the equilibrium composition of a system, temperature remaining constant.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below. [2025]

Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Both Statement I and Statement II are false
Statement I is true but Statement II is false

A catalyst does not affect the position of equilibrium. It does not affect equilibrium constant or composition of reaction mixture.

Q 6 :
In the following system,

${PCl}_{5} (g) ⇌ {PCl}_{3} (g) + {Cl}_{2} (g)$ at equilibrium, upon addition of xenon gas at constant T and P, the concentration of [2025]

${PCl}_{5}$ will increase
${Cl}_{2}$ will decrease
${PCl}_{5}, {PCl}_{3}$ and ${Cl}_{2}$ remain constant
${PCl}_{3}$ will increase

If inert gas is added at constant pressure, then volume of the system increases. This decreases partial pressure of components of the system. To increase the partial pressure, system moves in a direction of more number of gaseous moles i.e. in forward direction.
