At `1400 K, K_( c) = 2.5 xx 10^(-3)` for the reaction `CH_(4)(g)+2H_(2)S(g)hArrCS_(2)(g)+4H_(2)(g)` A ` 10 L` reaction vessel at `1400 K` contains `2.0 mol` of `CH_(4)`, `3.0 mol` of `CS_(2)`, `3.0 mol` of `H_(2)S`. In which direction does the reaction proceed to reach equilibrium?A. ForwardB. BackwardC. May be forward or backwardD. Reaction is in equilibrium

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`CH_(4)(g)+2H_(2)S(g)overset(K)(hArr)CS_(2)(g)+4H_(2)(g)`
or `K=([CS_(2)][H_(2)]^(2))/([CH_(4)][H_(2)S]^(2)) ...(i), [CS_(2)]=(3/10),[H_(2)]=(3/10),[CH_(4)]=(2/10)` and `[H_(2)S]=(4/10)`
Substituting the cocentration values in equation (i).
`K=((3/10)(3/10)^(4))/((2/10)(4/10))=3^(5)/10^(5)xx10^(3)/(2xx4^(4))xx243/3200=0.075`
Therefore, `K gt 2.5xx10^(-3)` (given). Hence, the reaction will proceed in backward direction.

For the reaction `PCl_(5)(g)hArrPCl_(3)(g)+Cl_(2)(g)` Which of the following sketches may represent above equilibrium? Assume equilibrium can be achieved from either side and by taking any one or more components initially. Give `K_(c )` for the reaction `lt 2`?A. B. C. D.

Answer» Given:
`K_(c)lt2` for `PCl_(5)(g)hArrPCl_(3)(g)+Cl_(2)(g)`
a. From graph, find the vlue of `K_(c )`
`K_(c )=(([PCl_(3)][Cl_(2)])/([PCl_(5)]))_(Eq)=(4xx6)/2 gt 2`
(a) is incorrect.
b. Incorrect: Since the concentration of both `PCl_(5)(g)` and `Cl_(2)(g)` will either increase or decrease, here it is increasing for `Cl_(2)(g)` and decreasing for `PCl_(3)(g)`.
c. Note that (from graph) the initial concentration of `PCl_(5)` is zero. So the equilibrium is established as follows:
`PCl_(3)(g)+Cl_(2)(g)hArrPCl_(5)(g)`

From graph, `x=6`. Also note that (from graph), `b lt 6` (i.e., initial concentration of `Cl_(2))`, which means that `xlt 6`. It is not so, hence choice (c ) is incorrect.
Obviously this should be the correct choice.
However, let us check it. Find `K_(c )`.
`K_(c )=(([PCl_(3)][Cl_(2)])/([PCl_(5)]))_(Eq)=(2xx4)/6 lt 2`
`:. (d)` is correct.

`CO(g)+1/2O_(2)(g)hArr CO_(2)(g)`
`K_(p)=([p_(CO_(2))(g)])/([p_(CO)(g)][p_(O_(2))(g)]^(1//2))`
`=0.6/(0.4xx(0.2)^(1//2))=0.6/(0.4xx0.4472)=3.356 "atm"^(-1//2)`
`K_(p)=K_(c )(RT)^(Deltan)`
`Deltan=1-(1+1/2)=-1/2`
`K_(c )=K_(p)/((RT)^(Deltan))`
`=3.356/((0.082xx3000)^(-1//2))`

The activation energy of `H_(2)+I_(2) hArr 2HI(g)` in equilibrium for the forward reaction is `167 kJ mol^(-1)` whereas for the reverse reaction is `180 kJ mol^(-1)`. The presence of catalyst lowers the activation energy by `80 kJ mol^(-1)`. Assuming that the reactions are made at `27^(@)C` and the frequency factor for forwatd and backward reactions are `4xx10^(-4)` and `2xx10^(-3)` respectively, calculate `K_(c)`.

Answer» A catalyst lowers the activation energy for forward reaction as well as for backward reaction by equal amount.
Thus, in presence of catalyst,
Energy of activation for forward reaction
`(E_(a1))=167-80=87 kJ "mol"^(-1)`
Energy of activation for backward reaction
`(E_(a2))=180-80=100 kJ "mol"^(-1)`
`:.` For forward reaction, `K_(1)=A_(1)e^(-Ea//RT)`
For backward reaction, `K_(2)=A_(2)e^(-Ea//RT)`
where `A_(1)` and `A_(2)` are frequency factors and `E_(a1)` and `E_(a2)` are energies of activation after addition of catalyst.
`:. K_(c )=K_(1)/K_(2)=A_(1)/A_(2) e^([(-E_(a1)//RT)+(-E_(a2)//RT)])`
`=A_(1)/A_(2)e^(([E_(a2)-E_(a1)])/(RT))=(4xx10^(-4))/(2xx10^(-3)) e^(((100-87))/((8.314xx10^(-3)xx300)))`
`:. K_(c )=2xx10^(-1) e^([13//8.314xx10^(-3)xx300])`

In a container of constant volume at a particular temparature `N_(2)` and `H_(2)` are mixed in the molar ratio of `9:13`. The following two equilibria are found o be coexisting in the container `N_(2)(g)+3H_(2)(g)harr2NH_(3)(g)` `N_(2)(g)+2H_(2)(g)harr N_(2)H_(4)(g)` The total equiibrium pressure is found to be `305` atm while partial pressure of `NH_(3)(g)` and `H_(2)(g)` are `0.5` atm and `1` atm respectivly. Calculate of equilibrium constants of the two reactions given above.

Answer» Let the initial partial pressure of `N_(2)` be `9P` and `13P` respectively

Total pressure `=P_(N_(2))+P_(H_(2))+P_(NH_(3))+P_(N_(2)H_(4))=3.5` atm
`(9P-x-y)+(13P-3x-2y)+2x+y=3.5`atm .....(1)
` P_(NH_(3))=2x=0.5` atm .....(2)
`P_(H_(2))=(13P-3x-2y)= 1` atm ....(3)
from (1) `implies(9P-x-y)+1 ` atm `+0.5+y=3.5`
`implies(9P-x)=2` atm
so `9P=2.25`
`P=0.25` atm
from (3) equation `2y=1.5`
`y=0.75` atm
so `P_(N_(2))=9P-x-y=1.25` atm
`P_(H_(2))=1` atm
`P_(NH_(3))=0.5` atm
`P_(N_(2)(H_(4))=0.75` atm
So, `K+(P_(1))=(P_(NH_(3))^(2))/P_(H_(2)^(3).P_(N_(2)))=(0.5xx0.5)/(1xx1xx1xx1.25)=0.2atm^(-2)`
`K_(P_(2)=P_(N_2H_(4))/P_(N_(2).P_(H_(2))^(2))=(0.75)/(1xx1xx1.25)=0.6 atm^(-2)`
