Q 1 :    

In which of the following equilibria, Kp and Kc are not equal?                  [2024]

  • PCl5(g)PCl3(g)+Cl2(g)

     

  • H2(g)+I2(g)2HI(g)

     

  • CO(g)+H2O(g)CO2(g)+H2(g)

     

  • 2BrCl(g)Br2(g)+Cl2(g)

     

(1)

Kp=Kc(RT)Δng

When Δng0, KpKc

For option (1), Δng=2-1=10

Thus, KpKc



Q 2 :    

Consider the following reaction in a sealed vessel at equilibrium with concentrations of 

N2=3.0×10-3M, O2=4.2×10-3M and NO=2.8×10-3M.

2NO(g)N2(g)+O2(g)

If 0.1 mol L-1 of NO(g) is taken in a closed vessel,

what will be the degree of dissociation (α) of NO(g) at equilibrium?                 [2024]

  • 0.00889

     

  • 0.0889

     

  • 0.8889

     

  • 0.717

     

(4)

2NO(g)N2(g)+O2(g)0.1000.1-xx2x2

Kc=x2×x2(0.1-x)2

Again, Kc=[N2][O2][NO]2=3×10-3×4.2×10-3(2.8×10-3)2=1.607

x24(0.1-x)2=1.607  x2(0.1-x)=1.607

x0.2-2x=1.26  x=0.252-2.52x

3.52x=0.252  x=0.2523.52=0.0716

Degree of dissociation, α=0.07160.1=0.716
