Samacheer Kalvi 11th Chemistry Physical and Chemical Equilibrium Short Answer Questions

Question 26.
If there is no change in concentration, why is the equilibrium state considered dynamic?
At chemical equilibrium the rate of two opposing reactions are equal and the concentration of. reactants and products do not change with time. This condition is not static and is dynamic, because both the forward and reverse reactions are still occurring with the same rate and no macroscopic change is observed. So chemical equilibrium is in a state of dynamic equilibrium.

Question 27.
For a given reaction at a particular temperature, the equilibrium constant has constant value. Is the value of Q also constant? Explain.
In the chemical reaction, as the reaction proceeds, there is a continuous change in the concentration of reactants and products and also the Q value until the reaction reaches the equilibrium. So even at particular temperature, Q is not constant. Even once the equilibrium is achieved then change in concentration of reactants or products, pressure, volume will change the value of Q.

Question 28.
What is the relation between Kp and KC. Give one example for which Kp is equal to KC.
The relation between Kp and Kc is Kp = KC (RT)∆ng
Kp = equilibrium constant is terms of partial pressure.
Kc = equilibrium constant is terms of concentration.
R = gas constant
T = Temperature.
∆ng = Difference between the sum of the number of moles of products and the sum of number of moles of reactants in the gas phase. When ∆ng = 0
Kp = KC(RT)0 = KC i.e., Kp = KC
Example: H2(g) + I2(g) $$\rightleftharpoons$$ 2HI(g)
∆ng = 2 – 2 = 0
∴ Kp = KC for the synthesis of HI.

Question 29.
For a gaseous homogeneous reaction at equilibrium, number of moles of products are greater than the number of moles of reactants. Is KC is larger or smaller than Kp ?
For a homogeneous reaction at equilibrium, number of moles of products (np) are greater than the number of moles of reactants (nR) then ∆ng = + ve
np > nR
∆ng = + ve
If ∆ng is ve, Kp value is greater than KC
Kp = KC. (RT)+ve
Kp > KC
Example: PCl5 $$\rightleftharpoons$$ PCl3(g) + Cl2(g)
2 – 1 = 1
Kp = KC (RT)1
Kp > KC

Question 30.
When the numerical value of the reaction quotient (Q) is greater than the equilibrium constant (K), in which direction does the reaction proceed to reach equilibrium?
When Q > KC the reaction will proceed in the reverse direction, i.e, formation of reactants.

Question 31.
For the reaction: A2(g) + B2(g) $$\rightleftharpoons$$ 2AB(g); ∆H is – ve.
The following molecular scenes represent different reaction mixture
(A – dark grey, B – light grey)

1. Calculate the equilibrium constant Kp and KC
2. For the reaction mixture represented by scene (x), (y) the reaction proceed in which directions?
3. What is the effect of increase in pressure for the mixture at equilibrium?

1.
At equilibrium

2.

3.  Since ∆ng = 2 – 2 = 0, thus, pressure has no effect. So by increasing the pressure, equilibrium will not be affected.

Question 32.
State Le – Chatelier principle.
It states that If a system at equilibrium is disturbed, then the system shifts itself in a direction that nullifies the effect of that disturbance.

Question 33.
Consider the following reactions

1. H2(g) + l2(g) $$\rightleftharpoons$$ 2HI(g)
2. CaCO3(s) $$\rightleftharpoons$$ CaO(s) + CO2(g)
3. S(s) + 3F2(g) $$\rightleftharpoons$$ SF6(g)

In each of the above reaction find out whether you have to increase (or) decrease the volume to increase the yield of the product.
1.  H2(g) + l2(g) $$\rightleftharpoons$$ 2HI(g)
In the above equilibrium reaction, volume of gaseous molecules is equal on both sides. So increase or decrease the volume will not affect the equilibrium and there will be no change in the yield of product.

2.
Volume is greater in product side. By decreasing the pressure, volume will increase thus, to get more of product CO2, the pressure should be decreased or volume should be increased.

3.
Volume is lesser in product side. So by increasing the pressure, equilibrium shifts to the product side.

Question 34.
State law of mass action.
The law states that “At any instant, the rate of chemical reaction at a given temperature is directly proportional to the product of the active masses of the reactants at that instant.”

Question 35.
Explain how will you predict the direction of an equilibrium reaction.

1. A large value of KC indicates that the reaction reaches equilibrium with high product yield.
2. A low value of KC indicate that the reaction reaches equilibrium with low product formed.
3. In general, if the K is greater than I the reaction proceeds nearly to completion. If is less than 10-3, the reaction rarely proceeds.
4. If K < 10-3, reverse reaction is favoured. If Kc > 103, forward reaction is favoured.

Question 36.
Derive a general expression for the equilibrium constant Kp and KC for the reaction.
3H2(g) + N2(g) $$\rightleftharpoons$$ 2NH3(g)
In the formation of ammonia, ‘a’ moles of Nitrogen and ‘b’ moles of hydrogen gas are allowed to react in a container of volume of ‘V’. Let ‘x’ moles of nitrogen react with 3x moles of hydrogen to give 2x moles of ammonia.
N2(g) + 3H2(g) $$\rightleftharpoons$$ 2NH3(g)

Applying law of mass action

Total number of moles at equilibrium n = a – x + b -3x + 2x = a + b – 2x

Question 37.
Write a balanced chemical equation for an equilibrium reaction for which the equilibrium constant is given by expression?

Question 38.
What is the effect of added inert gas on the reaction at equilibrium at constant volume?
When an inert gas (i.e., a gas which does not react with any other species involved in equilibrium) is added to an equilibrium system at constant volume, the total number of moles. of gases present in the container increases, that is, the total pressure of gases increases, the partial pressure of the reactants and the products are unchanged. Hence at constant volume, addition of inert gas has no effect on equilibrium.

Question 39.
Derive the relation between Kp and KC.
Consider a general reaction in which all reactants and products are ideal gases.
x A + y B $$\rightleftharpoons$$  lC+mD

The ideal gas equation is
PV = nRT or P = $$\frac { n }{ V }$$ RT
Since,
Active mass = molar concentration = $$\frac { n }{ V }$$
P = Active mass x RT
Based on the above expression, the partial pressure of the reacants and products can be expressed as

On substitution in equation (2),

By comparing equation (1) and (4), we get
Kp = KC (RT) ∆ng
where ∆ng is the difference between the sum of number of moles of products and the sum of number of moles of reactants in the gas phase.

(ii) where
∆ng = +Ve
Kp = KC (RT)+ve
Kp = KC
Example: 2NH3(g) N2(g) + 3H2(g)

∆ng = -Ve
Kp = KC (RT)-ve
Kp < KC
Example: 2SO2(g) +O2(g) $$\rightleftharpoons$$ 2SO3(g)

Question 12.
Explain how the equilibrium constant K. predict the extent of a reaction.
1. The value of equilibrium constant KC tells us the extent of the reaction i.e., it indicates how far the reaction has proceeded towards product formation at a given temperature.

2. A large value of KC indicates that the reaction reaches equilibrium with high product yield on the other hand, lower value of KC indicates that the reaction reaches equilibrium with low product yield.

4. If KC < 10-3 the reaction rarely proceeds.

5. If the KC is in the range 10-3 to 103 significant amount of both reactants and products are present at equilibrium.

Question 13.

Predict the extent of the above two reactions.
In the reactions, decomposition of water at 500 K and oxidation 01 nitrogen at 1000 K, the value of KC is very less KC < 10-3. So reverse reaction is favoured.
∴ Products << reactants

Question 14.

2CO(g) + O2(g) $$\rightleftharpoons$$ 2CO2(g) at 1000 K
KC = 2.2 x 1022
KC > 103.
So [Products] >> [Reactants]
Reaction nearly goes to completion and forward reaction is favoured.

Question 18.
Define Q value for a chemical equilibrium reaction.
Consider a homogeneous reversible reaction xA + yB $$\rightleftharpoons$$ lC + mD For the above reaction under non-equilibrium conditions, reaction quotient Q is defined as the ratio of the product of active masses of reaction products raised to the respective stoichiometric coefficients in the balanced chemical equation to that of the reactants. Under non equilibrium conditions,
Q = $$\frac { d(Ink) }{ dt }$$ ΔH° = $$\frac { { \triangle H }^{ 0 } }{ { RT }^{ 2 } }$$

Question 19.

In (ii) Q = KC, the reaction is in equilibrium state.
In (iii) Q> KC, the reaction will proceed in the reverse direction.

Question 20.
Explain about the effect of catalyst in an equilibrium reaction?
Addition of catalyst does not affect the state of equilibrium. The catalyst increases the rate of both the forward and reverse reactions to the same extent. Hence it does not change the equilibrium composition of the reaction mixture.

Question 21.

NO(g) + O3(g) $$\rightleftharpoons$$ NO2(g) + O2(g)
Both the forward and reverse reactions in the equilibrium are elementary bimolecular reactions what is KC for the reverse reaction?
For the reverse reaction

Question 22.

This is because molar concentration of a pure 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.

Question 23.
A sample of Hl(g) is placed in a flask at a pressure of 0.2 atm. At equilibrium partial pressure of HI(g) is 0.04 atm. What is Kp for the given equilibrium?
2HI(g) $$\rightleftharpoons$$ H2 (g) + I2(g)

Question 25.
Predict which of the following will have appreciable concentration of reactions and products:

Following conclusion can be drawn from the values of
(a) Since the value of K is very small, this means that the molar concentration of the products is very small as compared to that of the reactants.
(b) Since the value of K is quite large, this means that the molar concentration of the products is very large as compared to that of the reactants.
(c) Since the value of K is 1.8, this means that both the products and reactants have appreciable concentrations.

Question 26.
Write the equilibrium constant (KC) expression for the following reactions.

Question 27.
For the equilibrium 2NOCI(g) $$\rightleftharpoons$$ 2NO(g) + CI2(g) the value of the equilibrium constant KC is 3.75 x at 1069 K. Calculate the Kp for the reaction at this temperature?
We know that Kp = Kc(RT)∆ng
For the above reaction, ∆ng = (2 + 1) – 2 = 1
Kp = 3.75 x 10-6 (0.0831 x 1069) = 3.3 x 10-4

Question 28.
The value of Kc for the reaction 2A $$\rightleftharpoons$$ B + C is 2 x 10-3. At a given time, the composition of reaction mixture is [A] [B] [C] = 3 x 10-4 M. In which direction the reaction will proceed?
For the reaction, the reaction quotient Q is given by QC = [B] [C]/[A]2
as [A] = [B] = [C] = 3 x 10-4 M
Qc (3 x 10-4)(3 x 10-4)/(3 x 10-4)2 = l
as QC > KC so, the reaction will proceed in the reverse direction.

2. In this process. the total number of water molecules leaving from and returning to the solid phase at any instant are equal.

H2O(l) $$\rightleftharpoons$$ H2O(g)

Question 2.

2. Rate of evaporation = Rate of condensation

Question 3.

The temperature at which the liquid and vapour phases are at equilibrium is called the boiling point and condensation point of the liquid.

Question 4.

The temperature at which the solid and liquid phases of a substance are at equilibrium is called the melting point or freezing point of substance.

Question 5.
Illustrate the formation of solid – vapour equilibrium with suitable example.
1. Consider a system in which the solid sublimes to vapour. e.g., I, (or) camphor.
2. When solid iodine is placed in a closed transparent vessel, after sometime, the vessel gets filled up with violet vapour due to sublimation of iodine.

I2(s) $$\rightleftharpoons$$ I2 (g)
Camphor (s) $$\rightleftharpoons$$ Camphor (g)
NH4CI(s) $$\rightleftharpoons$$ NH4CI(g)

Question 7.
Explain the following diagrams.
Diagram – 1

1. As the concentration of the products increases, more products collide and react in the backward direction.
2. As the rate of the reverse reaction increases, the rate of the forward reaction decreases.
3. Eventually the rate of both reactions becomes equal.

Diagram-II

1. Concentration of reactants decreases with time initially and concentration of products increases with time.
2. After sometime, equilibrium is reached i.e., concentration of reactants and products remains constant.

Question 8.
What are the types of chemical equilibrium? Explain with suitable example.

1. Chemical equilibrium is of two types:
• Homogeneous equilibrium
• Heterogeneous equilibrium.
2. In a homogeneous equilibrium, all the reactants and products are in the same phase
H2(g) + I2(g) $$\rightleftharpoons$$ 2HI(g)
In the above equilibrium H2, I2 and HI are in the gaseous state.
3. If the reactants and products of a reaction in equilibrium are in different phases, then it is calLed heterogeneous equilibrium.
e.g., CaCO3(s) $$\rightleftharpoons$$ CaO(s) + CO3(g)

Question 9.
Write the value of K and K equation for CaCO3(s) $$\rightleftharpoons$$ CaO(s) + CO2(g)
A pure solid always has the same concentration at a given temperature, as it does not expand to fill its container i.e., it has the same no. of moles of its volume. Therefore the concentration of pure solid is a constant. So the expression if K and K is K [CO2], K = PCO2

Question 10.
Consider the following equilibrium reaction and relate their equilibrium constants

1. N2 + O2 $$\rightleftharpoons$$ 2NO, K1
2. 2NO + O2 $$\rightleftharpoons$$ 2NO2, K1
3. N2 + 2O2 $$\rightleftharpoons$$ 2NO2, K3

Question 11.
Explain the effect of concentration in an equilibrium state?
At equilibrium, the concentration of the reactants and products does not change. The addition of more reactants or products to the reacting system at equilibrium causes an increase in their respective concentration.

According to Le – Chatelier’s principle, the effect of increase in concentration of a substance is to shift the equilibrium in a direction that consumes the added substance. For example,
H2(g) + I2(g) $$\rightleftharpoons$$ 2HI(g)

The addition of H2 or I2 to the equilibrium mixture, disturbs the equilibrium. In order to minimize the stress, the system shifts the reaction in a direction where H2 and I2 are consumed i.e., formation of additional HI would balance the effect of added reactant.

Hence the equilibrium shifts to the right (forward direction). i.e., the equilibrium is re – established. Similarly, removal of HI (Product) also favours forward reaction. If HI is added to the equilibrium mixture, the concentration of HI is increased and system proceeds in the reverse direction to nullify the effect of increase in concentration of HI.

Question 12.
Consider the reaction, N2(g) + 3H2(g) $$\rightleftharpoons$$ 2NH3(g). Explain the effect of pressure on this equilibrium reaction.
N2(g) + 3H2(g) $$\rightleftharpoons$$ 2NH3(g)
In the above equilibrium, if the pressure is increased, the volume wiLl decreases. The system responds to this effect by reducing the number of gas molecules. i.e., it favours the formation of ammonia. If the pressure is reduced, the volume will increases. It favours the decomposition of ammonia.

Question 13.
Why pressure has no effect on the synthesis of HI?
(i) When the total number of moles of gaseous reactants and gaseous products are equal, the change in pressure has no effect on system at equilibrium.
H2(g) + I2(g) $$\rightleftharpoons$$ 2HI(g)
Here the number of moles of reactants and products are equal. So the pressure has no effect on such equilibrium with ∆ng = O.

Question 14.
Explain the effect of temperature on the following equilibrium reaction.
N2(g) + 3H2(g) $$\rightleftharpoons$$ 2NH3(g) ∆H = – 92.2 kJ.
In this equilibrium, N2(g) + 3H2(g) $$\rightleftharpoons$$ 2NH3(g) ∆H = – 92.2 kJ.

Forward reaction is exothermic while the reverse reaction is endothermic. If the temperature of the system increased, the system responds by decomposing some of ammonia molecules to nitrogen and hydrogen by absorbing the supplied heat energy.

Similarly, the system responds to a drop in the temperature by forming more ammonia molecule from nitrogen and hydrogen which release heat energy.

Question 15.
How does oxygen exchanges between maternal and fetal blood in a pregnant woman?
1. In a pregnant women, the oxygen supply for the fetus is provided by the maternal blood in the placenta where the blood vessels of both mother and fetus arc in close proximity. Both fetal and maternal hemoglobin binds tO oxygen reversibly as follows.

2. In the above two equilibrium, the equilibrium constant value for the oxygenation of fetal hemoglobin is higher which is due to its higher affinity for oxygen compared to adult hemoglobin. Hence in placenta, the oxygen from the mother’s blood s effectively transferred to fetal hemoglobin.

Question 16.
What is K for the following reaction in state of equilibrium?
2SO2(g) + O2 $$\rightleftharpoons$$ 2SO3(g)
(Given:[SO2] = 0.6 M; [O2] = 0.82 M; and [SO3] = 1.90 M

Question 17.

According to available data:
Total pressure of equilibrium mixture = 105 Pa
Partial pressure of iodine atoms (1) = $$\frac { 40 }{ 100 }$$ x (105 Pa) = 0.4 x 105 Pa
Partial pressure of iodine molecules (I2) = $$\frac { 60 }{ 100 }$$ x (105 Pa) = 0.6 X 105 Pa

Concentration quotient (Q ) =

The equilibrium constant (Kr) for the reaction = 1.7 x 10-2

Let us consider a reversible reaction x A + y B $$\rightleftharpoons$$ lC + mD
where A, B are the reactants C and D are the product and x, y. l and m are the stoichiometric coefficients of A. B, C and D respectively. Applying the law of mass action the rate of forward reaction.

(b) CaCO3(s) $$\rightleftharpoons$$ CaO(s) + CO2(g): Kp = 167 atm at 1073 K.

Question 2.
What is the equilibrium concentration of each of the substances in the equilibrium when the initial concentration of ICI was 0.78 M?
2ICI(g) $$\rightleftharpoons$$ I2(g) + CI2(g); KC = 0.14
Suppose at equilibrium, the molar concentration of both I2(g) and Cl2(g) is x mol L-1.

Question 3.
Equilibrium constant K for the reaction. N2(g) + 3H2(g) $$\rightleftharpoons$$ 2NH3(g) at 500 K is 0.061. At particular time, the analysis shows that the composition of the reaction mixture is 3.0 mol L-1 of N2; 2.0 mol L-1 of H2; 0.50 moI L-1 of NH3. Is the reaction at equilibrium?
The given reaction is: N2(g) + 3H2(g) $$\rightleftharpoons$$ 2NH3(g)
According to available data

Common Errors

1. In writing Kp, KC values from the equations, students may confuse to write whether products or reactants in the numerator or in the denominator
2. When Kp = KC.(RT)0 students may confuse.
3. In writing An values, students will consider all reactants and products.
4. Students are confused to understand the concept of Q value and KC value.
5. In writing chemical equilibrium reaction, you may miss the physical states of reactants and products.
6. ∆ngvalue calculation will go wrong if you consider all the reactants and products.
7. Equilibrium constant value is calculated under equilibrium condition and reaction quotient value defined at sometimes at equilibrium condition wrongly by the students.
8. Chemical equilibrium condition must be known. Students may wrongly write in an open vessel, the equilibrium take place.
9. Equilibrium symbol, students may wrongly write as =

Rectifications

1. Always we have to write Kp & KC as
2. (Anything)° = 1. So Kp = KC.
3. Only they have to consider gaseous reactants and gaseous products. Since solid and liquid are constant in their concentration.
4. Q value is calculated under non equilibrium conditions. KC value is calculated under equilibrium condition.
5. Physical states of reactants and products must be written as a subscript by the words s, l, g. (solid, liquid, gas)
6. ∆ng = ngp – ngr You should consider only gaseous products and gaseous reactants.
7. Reaction quotient Q value is calculated only under non-equilibrium conditions.
8. Chemical equilibrium reactions are always take place at closed vessel only.
9. Equilibrium reaction symbol is ⇔.
