Explain the effect of change of pressure on Equilibrium
The change of pressure can be observed on the reactions which involves gaseous substances. According to Le-Chateliers’s principle, increase of pressure on a system at equilibrium will shift the equilibrium…
At 540 K, 0.10 mole of PCl5 is heated in an 8.0 L flask. The pressure of the equilibrium mixture is found to be 1.0 atm. Calculate Kp and c for the reaction.
The reaction will be given as: PCl5 ⇌ PCl3 Cl2 Initial moles: PCl5 = 0.10 PCl3 = 0 Cl2 = 0 Equivalent moles: PCl5 = 0.10 – α PCl3 =…
What will be the effect of addition of inert gas on the equilibrium constant?
Effect of addition of inert gas like helium, neon etc has the following effects on the equilibrium constant: There are two cases on which equilibrium depends. These are: (1) Addition…
What are the units of Equilibrium constant?
The Equilibrium constant expression involves the concentrations or partial pressures of the reactants and products. The units of Equilibrium constant K will depend on the number of moles of reactants…
At 700 K, the equilibrium constant Kp, for the reaction 2 SO3 (g) ⇌ 2 SO2 (g) + O2 Is 1.8 X 10-3 kPa. What is the numerical value in moles per liter of Kc for the reaction at the same temperature?
Relation between Kp and Kc is given as: Kp = Kc (RT) ∆n Kc = Kp / (RT) ∆n T = 700 K R = 8.314 J mol -1 K-1…
The degree of dissociation of PCl5 at a certain temperature and under atmospheric pressure is 0.2. Calculate the pressure at which it will be half dissociated at the same temperature.
PCl5 dissociates as: PCl5 ⇌ PCl3 Cl2 If α is the degree of dissociation at certain temperature under atmospheric pressure, then Initial concentration: PCl5 = 1 PCl3 = 0 Cl2…
Derive an expression for the degree of dissociation, α, in terms of Kp
For the homogeneous gaseous reaction 2 AB2 (g) ⇌ 2 AB (g) + B2 (g) Derive an expression for the degree of dissociation, α, in terms of Kp and total…
What is the difference between rate of reaction and reaction rate constant?
Difference between rate of reaction and reaction rate constant are as follows: RATE OF REACTION REACTION RATE CONSTANT Rate of reaction is the change in concentration of a reactant or…
Define Molecularity of a reaction. Discuss the molecularity of simple reactions.
According to the collision theory in order that a reaction may take place, the molecules must come close together and collide with one another. Hence, The number of atoms, ions…
