Answer»

Solution :At CONSTANT temperature, VOLUME of GAS for fixed volume pressure will be calculated by Boyle.s formula.
At `30^(@)C` Boyle.s equaltion, `p_(1)V_(1)=p_(2)V_(2)`
where, `p_(1)=` Initial pressure = 1 bar
`V_(1)=` Initial volume `= 500 dm^(3)`
`V_(2)=` Final volume `= 200 dm^(3)`
`p_(2)=` Final pressure = (?)
`therefore p_(2) =(p_(1)V_(1))/(V_(2))`
`= (("1 bar")xx(500 dm^(3)))/(200 dm^(3))=2.5` bar
Minimum pressure to be KEPT is 2.5 bar.

Write effect of concentration change on equilibrium and explain by suitable example.

Answer»

Solution :In general, when equilibrium is disturbed by the addition / removal of any reactant / product, Le-Chatelier.s principle predicts that:
(i) The concentration stress of an added reactant/product is relieved by net reaction in the direction that consumes the added substance.
(ii) The concentration stress of a removed reactant / product is relieved by net reaction in the direction that replenishes the removed substance.
OR
Le-Chatelier.s principle for concentration change: "When the concentration of any of the reactants or products in a reaction at equilibrium is changed, the composition of the equilibrium mixture changes so as to minimize the effect of concentration changes."
To understand the effect of concentration changes the example of decomposition of HI: The synthesis of HI is due to the reaction between `H_2` and `I_2` at the certain temperature and get equilibrium.
`H_(2(g)) + I_(2(g)) hArr 2HI_((g))`
(a) `H_2` is added in equilibrium : If `H_2` is added to the reaction mixture at equilibrium, then the equilibrium of the reaction is disturbed. In order to restore it, the reaction proceeds in a direction wherein `H_2` is consumed, i.e., more of `H_2` and `I_2` react to form HI and finally the equilibrium shifts in right (forward) direction.

(b) According to Le Chatelier.s principle : Which implies that in case of addition of a reactant/ product, a new equilibrium will be set up in which the concentration of the reactant/product should be less than what it was after the addition but more than what it was in the original mixture.
(C) Explanation of reaction quotient `Q_c` : The same point can be explained in TERMS of the reaction quotient `Q_c`
`Q_c=[HI]^2/([H_2][I_2])` and `K_c=[HI]^2/([H_2][I_2])`
Addition of HYDROGEN at equilibrium results in value of `Q_c` being less than `K_c`. Thus, in order to attain equilibrium again reaction moves in the forward reaction.
Removal of product : Similarly, the removal of product and increase the concentration of the products.
Commercial application : The product is a gas or volatile substance so, the removal of products and increase the production.
e.g.-1 : In vase of manufacture of ammonia, ammonia is liquefied and removed from the reaction mixture `(N_(2(g)) + H_(2(g)) = 2NH_(3(g)))` so that reaction keeps moving in forward direction.
e.g.-2: In large scale production of Cao (used as important building material) from `CaCO_3`, constant removal of `CO_2` from the kiln drives the reaction completion `(CaCO_(3(s)) hArr CaO_((s)))` . It should be remembered that continuous removal of a product maintains `Q_c` at a value less than `K_c` and reaction continuous to move in the forward direction.

Two mole ofPCl_(5)" were heated to" 327^(@)Cin a closed two litre vessel and when equilibrium was achieved, PCl_(5) was found to be 40% dissociated intoPCl_(3) and Cl_(2).Calculate the equilibrium constants K_(p) and K_(c) for this reaction.

Answer»

Solution :`PCl_(5) " dissociates as " :PCl_(5) hArr PCl_(3) + Cl_(2)`
IntiaL amount of `PCl_(5) = 2" moles (Given)"`
`% " age dissociation at equilibrium " = 40%`
` :. PCl_(5) " dissociated at equilibrium " = 40/100 xx 0.8 ` mole
`:. " Amounts of " PCl_(5), Pcl_(3) and Cl_(2) " at equilibrium will be " `
`Pcl_(5) = 2- 0.8 = 1.2 ` mole
`PCl _(3) = 0.8 `
`Cl_(2)-0.8 " " [:' 1 " mole of " PCl_(5) " on dissociation GIVES 1 mole of "PCl_(3) "and 1 mole of "Cl_(2) ]`
Since the volume of the vessel is 2 litres is , therefore , the molar concentrations at equilibrium will be
`[ PCl_(5)] = 1.2/2 = 0.6 " mol " L^(-1), [ PCl_(3)] = 0.8/2 = 0.4 " mol " L^(-1) and [ Cl_(2) ] = 0.8/2 = 0.4 "mol" L^(-1)`
Applying the LAW of chemical equilibrium to the dissociation equilibrium, we get
`K_(c)= ([PCl_(3)] [ Cl_(2)])/ ([PCl_(5)]) = (.4 " mol " L^(-1) xx 0.4" mol " L^(-1))/(0.6 " mol " L^(-1))= 0.267 "mol" L^(-1)`
`K_(p) = K_(c) (RT)^(Delta N)`
Here `Delta n = n_(p) - n_(r) = 2- 1 = 1 " mol " :. K_(p) = K_(c) (RT)`
But `T= 327 + 273 = 600 K " (Given) "`
` R= 0.0821" L ATM"K^(-1) mol^(-1) :. K_(p) = 0.267 molL^(-1) xx 0.0821" L atm "K^(-1) mol^(-1) xx 600 K = 13.15 " atm"`
