For the reaction,$2SO_{2(g)} + O_{2(g)} \to 2SO_{3(g)}$
$\Delta H = -57.2 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$ and $K_C = 1.7 \times 10^{16}$
Which of the following statement is $INCORRECT$?

  • A
    The equilibrium constant is large suggestive of reaction going to completion and so no catalyst is required.
  • B
    The equilibrium will shift in forward direction as the pressure increases.
  • C
    The equilibrium constant decreases as the temperature increases.
  • D
    The addition of inert gas at constant volume will not affect the equilibrium constant.

At $T(K)$,the $K_p$ for the reaction $A_2B_{6(g)} \rightleftharpoons A_2B_{4(g)} + B_{2(g)}$ is $0.04 \text{ atm}$. The equilibrium pressure (in $\text{atm}$) of $A_2B_{6(g)}$ when it is placed in a flask at $4 \text{ atm}$ pressure and allowed to come to equilibrium is:

$1 \ mol$ $N_2$ and $3 \ mol$ $H_2$ are taken in a $4 \ L$ closed vessel at a constant temperature. The reaction is $N_{2(g)} + 3H_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2NH_{3(g)}$. If $0.25\%$ of $N_2$ is converted into ammonia,calculate $K_c$ for this reaction and the $K_c'$ for the reaction $\frac{1}{2}N_{2(g)} + \frac{3}{2}H_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons NH_{3(g)}$.

For a given reaction,$2 A \rightleftharpoons B + C$,the equilibrium constant is $2 \times 10^{-3}$. If at any given time the composition of the reaction mixture is $[A]=[B]=[C]=6 \times 10^{-5} \ M$; predict in which direction the reaction will proceed and the correct value for reaction quotient.
