$H_2O_{(g)} + CO_{(g)} \rightleftharpoons H_{2(g)} + CO_{2(g)} + \text{Heat}$

  • A
    Both the $[CO]$ and $[CO_2]$ will decrease
  • B
    Neither the $[CO]$ nor the $[CO_2]$ will change
  • C
    The $[CO]$ will decrease and the $[CO_2]$ will increase
  • D
    Both the $[CO]$ and $[CO_2]$ will increase

The equilibrium constants $(K_C)$ of two reactions $H_2 + I_2 \rightleftharpoons 2 HI$ and $N_2 + 3 H_2 \rightleftharpoons 2 NH_3$ are $50$ and $1000$,respectively. The equilibrium constant of the reaction $N_2 + 6 HI \rightleftharpoons 2 NH_3 + 3 I_2$ is closest to

The equilibrium constants $K_{p1}$ and $K_{p2}$ for the reactions $X \rightleftharpoons 2Y$ and $Z \rightleftharpoons P + Q$ respectively are in the ratio of $1 : 9$. If the degree of dissociation of $X$ and $Z$ be equal,then the ratio of total pressures at these equilibria is:

$PCl_{5}$ dissociates as $PCl_{5(g)} \rightleftharpoons PCl_{3(g)} + Cl_{2(g)}$. $5 \, \text{moles}$ of $PCl_{5}$ are placed in a $200 \, L$ vessel which contains $2 \, \text{moles}$ of $N_{2}$ and is maintained at $600 \, K$. The equilibrium pressure is $2.46 \, atm$. The equilibrium constant $K_{p}$ for the dissociation of $PCl_{5}$ is $...... \times 10^{-3}$.
