Q 1 :    

The following reaction occurs in the Blast furnance where iron ore is reduced to iron metal

 

Fe2O3(s)+3CO(g)Fe(l)+3CO2(g)

 

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

  • Removal of CO

     

  • Addition of Fe2O3

     

  • Removal of CO2

     

  • Addition of CO2

     

(B)             Fe2O3(s)+3CO(g)Fe(l)+3CO2(g)

                  Kc=[CO2]3[CO]3

                  Fe2O3(s) do not affect the equilibrium. Hence addition or removal of Fe2O3(s) or Fe(l) do not affect the equilibrium.

 



Q 2 :    

For a certain thermochemical reaction MN at T=400KΔH=77.2kJ mol-1,ΔS=122JK-1, log equilibrium constant (logk) is - ______ ×10-1.                 [2024]



(37)

ΔG°=ΔH°-TΔS°

ΔG°=77.2kJ mol-1-400K×122JK-1

         =77.2×1000Jmol-1-400K×122JK-1

         =28400J mol-1

-2.303 RT log10K=ΔG°

-2.303 RT log10Keq=28400Jmol-1

-2.303×8.314Jmol-1K-1×400K×log10Keq=28400Jmol-1

log10Keq=-3.7=-37×10-1



Q 3 :    

For a certain reaction at 300K, K = 10, then Go for the same reaction is _________ ×10-1 kJ mol-1. (Given R = 8.314 JK-1 mol-1)              [2024]



(57)

ΔG°=-2.303 RT log10K

         =-2.303×8.314 Jmol-1K-1×300K log1010

         =-5744.143Jmol-1

         =-5.744kJmol-1-57×10-1kJmol-1
