Question 1. A liquid is in equilibrium with its vapours in a sealed container at a fixed temperature. The volume of the container is suddenly increased, (i) What is the initial effect of the change on the vapour pressure? (ii) How do the rates of evaporation and condensation change initially? (iii) What happens when equilibrium is restored finally and what will be the final vapour pressure?
Answer:
(i) On increasing the volume of the container, the vapour pressure will initially decrease because the same amount of vapours are now distributed over a larger space.
(ii) On increasing the volume of the container, the rate of evaporation will increase initially because now more space is available. Since the amount of the vapours per unit volume decrease on increasing the volume, therefore, the rate of condensation will decrease initially.
(iii) Finally, equilibrium will be restored when the rates of the forward and backward processes become equal. However, the vapour pressure will remain unchanged because it depends upon the temperature and not upon the volume of the container.

Question 7. Explain why pure liquids and solids can be ignored while writing the value of equilibrium constants.
Answer:
This is because molar concentration of a pine solid or liquid is independent of the amount present.
Since density of pure liquid or solid is fixed and molar mass is also fixed. Therefore molar concentration are constant.

0 and 1 mole of CO are taken in a 10 litre vessel and heated to 725 K, at equilibrium point 40 percent of water (by mass) reacts with carbon monoxide according to equation.
Calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction.
Answer:
Number of moles of water originally present = 1 mol
Percentage of water reacted =40%
Number of moles of water reacted = 1 x 40/100 = 0.4 mol
Number of moles of water left = (1 – 0.4) = 0.6 mole According to the equation, 0.4 mole of water will react with 0.4 mole of carbon monoxide to form 0.4 mole of hydrogen and 0.4 mole of carbon dioxide.
Thus, the molar cone, per litre of the reactants and products before the reaction and at the equilibrium point are as follows:

= 0.80 atm?
Answer:
Since Q

2
will decrease while that of CO will increase so that the equilibrium may be attained again. Let p atm be the decrease in the partial pressure of C0

Question 24. Does the number of moles of reaction products increase, decrease or remain same when each of the following equilibria is subjected to a decrease in pressure bp increasing the volume?
Answer:
(i) Pressure will increase in the forward reaction and number of moles of products will increase.
(ii) Pressure will increase in backward reaction and number of moles of products will decrease.
(iii) The change in pressure will have no effect on the equilibrium constant and there will be no change in the number of moles.

Question 27. Hydrogen gas is obtained from the natural gas by partial oxidation with steam as per the following endothermic reaction:
Write the expression for Kp for the above reaction
How will the value of K
p
and composition of equilibrium mixture be affected by:
(i) increasing the pressure, (ii) increasing the temperature, (iii) using a catalyst?
Answer:
The expression for K
p
for the reaction is:
(i) By increasing the pressure, the number of moles per unit volume will increase. In order to decrease the same, the equilibrium gets shifted to the left or in the backward direction. As a result, more of reactants will be formed and the value of K
p
will decrease.
(ii) If the temperature is increased, according to Le Chatelier’s principle, the forward reaction will be favoured as it is endothermic. Therefore, the equilibrium gets shifted to the right and the value of K
p
will increase.
(iii) The addition of catalyst will not change the equilibrium since it influences both the forward and the backward reactions to the same extent. But it will be attained more quickly.

Answer:
(c) (i) By adding more of PCl
5
, value of K
c
will remain constant because there is no change in temperature.
(ii) By increasing the temperature, the forward reaction will.be favoured since it is endothermic in nature. Therefore, the value of equilibrium constant will increase.

is given by Q
c
= [B] [C]/[A]2 as [A] = [B] = [C] = 3 x 10-4 M Q
c
= (3 x 10
