The variables Pressure, Volume, Concentration and Temperature may change the State of Equilibrium. The change is governed by the Le-Chatelier’s principle. The decomposition of NH3(g) can be made spontaneous by increasing the temperature and lowering pressure. In the reaction, removal of any product from the reaction mixture makes the reversible reaction irreversible and therefore, reaction proceeds to completion. Answer the given questions (i) to (iv).
Q. The equilibrium Solid → Liquid → Gas will shift in forward direction when:
Increase in temperature will favour the forward reaction which is endothermic.
Q. At 25°C, the equilibrium constant K1 and K2 are for the reactions:
Which of the following shows the relation between two equilibrium constants?
Q. A liquid is in equilibrium with its vapour at its boiling point. On an average, the molecules in the two phases have equal:
At boiling point liquid and vapour phases both are present so the molecules in the two phases have equal kinetic energy.
Q. Change in free energy for the equilibrium, gaseous reaction, PCl5 → PCl3 + Cl2 on addition of an inert gas at constant pressure and at constant volume is respectively:
Addition of inert gas at constant volume has no effect on any equilibrium reaction. When inert gas is added at constant pressure in the given reaction, it proceeds in forward direction. DG° remains constant, but DG decreases as the reaction proceeds spontaneously in forward direction to attain equilibrium.
Greater the degree of dissociation (a) of an acid or base, greater is its acidic or basic strength. The relative strengths of weak acids or bases are compared in terms of √Ka or √Kb.
Weak electrolytes are dissociated to less extent in water. Dissociation constants depend upon temperature.
The questions given (i) to (iv) consist of an assertion (A) reason (R). Choose the correct option.
Assertion: The dissociation constants of polybasic acids are in the order K1 > K2 > K3.
Reason: The [H+] in first step of dissociation exerts common ion effect to decrease the second dissociation.
The first dissociation constant is always greater than second and so on.
Assertion: The equilibrium constant is fixed and is a characteristic of any given chemical reaction at a specified temperature.
Reason: The composition of the final equilibrium mixture at a particular temperature depends upon the starting amount of reactants.
The equilibrium constant is always fixed and is a characteristic of a reaction at specified temperature because it defines the composition of the final equilibrium mixture of that reaction regardless of the starting amount of reactants and products.
Assertion: The ionisation of Hydrogen Sulphide in water is low in the presence of Hydrochloric acid.
Reason: Hydrogen Sulphide is a weak acid.
H2S is a weak acid and a weak electrolyte. Its ionisation suppressed when small amount of strong electrolyte is added due to common in effect.
H2S ⇋ 2H++ S2-
HCl ⇋ H+ + Cl-
Assertion: When dilution increases, the degree of dissociation of weak electrolyte also increases.
Reason: The degree of dissociation is inversely proportional to concentration. When the dilution increases by 100 times, the dissociation increases by 10 times.
The degree of dissociation of a weak electrolyte:
depends on the nature of solute and solvent. Higher is the dielectric constant of the solvent and lower is the viscosity of solvent, higher is the degree of dissociation as the inter ionic attraction decreases.
increases with increase in dilution
increases with increase in temperature. With increase in temperature, interionic attractions, solvation of ions, viscosity decreases and the kinetic energy of ions increases.
