Degree of dissociation and Vapour density Questions in English

(C) Initial concentration of $H_2S = \frac{0.1 \ mol}{0.4 \ L} = 0.25 \ M$.
Let the degree of dissociation be $\alpha$.
The reaction is $2 H_2S_{(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2 H_{2(g)} + S_{2(g)}$.
At equilibrium: $[H_2S] = 0.25(1 - \alpha)$,$[H_2] = 0.25\alpha$,$[S_2] = 0.125\alpha$.
Since $K_c = 10^{-6}$ is very small,$\alpha << 1$,so $(1 - \alpha) \approx 1$.
$K_c = \frac{[H_2]^2 [S_2]}{[H_2S]^2} = \frac{(0.25\alpha)^2 (0.125\alpha)}{(0.25)^2} = 0.125 \alpha^3$.
$10^{-6} = 0.125 \alpha^3 \implies \alpha^3 = \frac{10^{-6}}{0.125} = 8 \times 10^{-6}$.
$\alpha = 2 \times 10^{-2} = 0.02$.
Percentage dissociation = $\alpha \times 100 = 0.02 \times 100 = 2 \%$.

(B) The dissociation reaction is: $NH_4COONH_2(s) \rightleftharpoons 2NH_3(g) + CO_2(g)$.
The number of moles of gaseous products produced per mole of reactant dissociated is $n = 2 + 1 = 3$.
The theoretical vapour density $(D_t)$ is calculated as: $D_t = \frac{\text{Molar Mass}}{2} = \frac{78}{2} = 39$.
Given the observed vapour density at equilibrium is $D_0 = 26$.
The degree of dissociation $(\alpha)$ is given by the formula: $\alpha = \frac{D_t - D_0}{D_0(n - 1)}$.
Substituting the values: $\alpha = \frac{39 - 26}{26(3 - 1)} = \frac{13}{26 \times 2} = \frac{13}{52} = 0.25$.

(C) Let the initial moles of $N_2$ and $O_2$ be $1$ mole each.
Let $\alpha$ be the degree of dissociation for both $N_2$ and $O_2$.
The reaction is $N_2 + O_2 \rightleftharpoons 2NO$.
At equilibrium,moles are: $N_2 = (1 - \alpha)$,$O_2 = (1 - \alpha)$,$NO = 2\alpha$.
The equilibrium constant $K_c$ is given by: $K_c = \frac{[NO]^2}{[N_2][O_2]} = \frac{(2\alpha)^2}{(1 - \alpha)(1 - \alpha)} = \frac{(2\alpha)^2}{(1 - \alpha)^2}$.
Given $K_c = 2$,we have $2 = \left(\frac{2\alpha}{1 - \alpha}\right)^2$.
Taking the square root on both sides: $\sqrt{2} = \frac{2\alpha}{1 - \alpha}$.
$\sqrt{2}(1 - \alpha) = 2\alpha$.
$\sqrt{2} - \alpha\sqrt{2} = 2\alpha$.
$\sqrt{2} = \alpha(2 + \sqrt{2})$.
$\alpha = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2 + \sqrt{2}} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}(\sqrt{2} + 1)} = \frac{1}{1 + \sqrt{2}}$.

(A) The degree of dissociation $(\alpha)$ can be calculated from vapour density data using the formula $\alpha = \frac{D-d}{(n-1)d}$,where $D$ is the theoretical vapour density,$d$ is the observed vapour density,and $n$ is the number of moles of products formed from $1$ mole of reactant.
This method is applicable only when there is a change in the number of moles during the reaction,i.e.,$\Delta n_g \neq 0$.
Let us calculate $\Delta n_g$ for each reaction:
$I. \ 2HI_{(g)} \rightleftharpoons H_{2(g)} + I_{2(g)} \Rightarrow \Delta n_g = (1+1) - 2 = 0$
$II. \ 2NH_{3(g)} \rightleftharpoons N_{2(g)} + 3H_{2(g)} \Rightarrow \Delta n_g = (1+3) - 2 = 2$
$III. \ 2NO_{(g)} \rightleftharpoons N_{2(g)} + O_{2(g)} \Rightarrow \Delta n_g = (1+1) - 2 = 0$
$IV. \ PCl_{5(g)} \rightleftharpoons PCl_{3(g)} + Cl_{2(g)} \Rightarrow \Delta n_g = (1+1) - 1 = 1$
Since $\Delta n_g = 0$ for reactions $I$ and $III$,the degree of dissociation cannot be calculated using the vapour density method for these reactions.

(D) The dissociation reaction is: $NH_2COONH_4(s) \rightleftharpoons 2NH_3(g) + CO_2(g)$.
Here,the number of moles of gaseous products $n = 2 + 1 = 3$.
The molar mass of ammonium carbamate is $M = 78 \, g/mol$.
The theoretical vapour density $D_t = \frac{M}{2} = \frac{78}{2} = 39$.
The observed vapour density $D_o = 13.0$.
The degree of dissociation $\alpha$ is given by the formula: $\alpha = \frac{D_t - D_o}{D_o(n - 1)}$.
Substituting the values: $\alpha = \frac{39 - 13}{13(3 - 1)} = \frac{26}{13 \times 2} = \frac{26}{26} = 1$.

(C) The number of moles of the gas is given by the formula: $\text{moles} = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{molar mass}} = \frac{V_{NTP}}{22.4 \ L/mol}$.
Substituting the given values: $\frac{8}{M} = \frac{5.6}{22.4}$.
Simplifying the equation: $\frac{5.6}{22.4} = \frac{1}{4}$.
Therefore,$\frac{8}{M} = \frac{1}{4}$,which gives $M = 32 \ g/mol$.
The vapour density is defined as: $\text{Vapour density} = \frac{\text{Molar mass}}{2}$.
$\text{Vapour density} = \frac{32}{2} = 16$.

(D) The chemical equation is: $2SO_3 \rightleftharpoons 2SO_2 + O_2$
Initial moles: $3 \quad 0 \quad 0$
Degree of dissociation $(\alpha)$ $= 0.4$
Moles reacted $= 3 \times 0.4 = 1.2$
At equilibrium:
$SO_3 = 3 - 1.2 = 1.8$
$SO_2 = 1.2$
$O_2 = \frac{1.2}{2} = 0.6$
Total moles at equilibrium $= 1.8 + 1.2 + 0.6 = 3.6$

(C) The dissociation reaction is: $4PH_{3(g)} \rightleftharpoons P_{4(g)} + 6H_{2(g)}$
Let the initial moles of $PH_3$ be $1$. At equilibrium,moles are: $PH_3 = (1 - \alpha)$,$P_4 = \alpha/4$,$H_2 = 6\alpha/4 = 1.5\alpha$.
Total moles at equilibrium $= (1 - \alpha) + 0.25\alpha + 1.5\alpha = 1 + 0.75\alpha$.
Given $\alpha = 0.3$,total moles $= 1 + 0.75(0.3) = 1.225$.
The relation between vapour density $(D)$ and observed vapour density $(d)$ is $\frac{D}{d} = \frac{\text{Total moles at equilibrium}}{\text{Initial moles}} = 1 + n\alpha$,where $n$ is the change in moles per mole of reactant.
Here,$n = \frac{1+6-4}{4} = 0.75$.
$D = \frac{M_{PH_3}}{2} = \frac{34}{2} = 17$.
$d = \frac{D}{1 + 0.75 \times 0.3} = \frac{17}{1.225} \approx 13.87$.

(C) Consider the dissociation reaction: $A \rightleftharpoons nB$
Initial moles: $1 \quad 0$
Moles at equilibrium: $1 - \alpha \quad n\alpha$
Total moles at equilibrium: $1 - \alpha + n\alpha = 1 + \alpha(n - 1)$
Since vapour density is inversely proportional to the number of moles,we have: $\frac{D_T}{D_0} = \frac{\text{Total moles at equilibrium}}{\text{Initial moles}} = \frac{1 + \alpha(n - 1)}{1}$
Rearranging for $\alpha$: $\frac{D_T}{D_0} = 1 + \alpha(n - 1)$
$\frac{D_T}{D_0} - 1 = \alpha(n - 1)$
$\frac{D_T - D_0}{D_0} = \alpha(n - 1)$
$\alpha = \frac{D_T - D_0}{(n - 1)D_0}$

(C) The reaction is: $AB_{3(g)} \rightleftharpoons AB_{2(g)} + \frac{1}{2} B_{2(g)}$
Let the initial pressure of $AB_3$ be $P_i = 800 \ torr$.
Let the change in pressure due to dissociation be $x$.
At equilibrium:
$P_{AB_3} = 800 - x$
$P_{AB_2} = x$
$P_{B_2} = \frac{x}{2}$
The total pressure at equilibrium is given as $900 \ torr$:
$(800 - x) + x + \frac{x}{2} = 900$
$800 + \frac{x}{2} = 900$
$\frac{x}{2} = 100$
$x = 200 \ torr$
The degree of dissociation $(\alpha)$ is the fraction of initial pressure dissociated:
$\alpha = \frac{x}{P_i} = \frac{200}{800} = 0.25$
Percentage of dissociation = $0.25 \times 100 = 25 \%$.

(C) The reaction is: $PCl_{5(g)} \rightleftharpoons PCl_{3(g)} + Cl_{2(g)}$
Initially,moles: $PCl_5 = 2, PCl_3 = 0, Cl_2 = 0$
At equilibrium,moles: $PCl_5 = 2-x, PCl_3 = x, Cl_2 = x$
Since the volume is $1 \ L$,the concentrations are equal to the number of moles.
$K_c = \frac{[PCl_3][Cl_2]}{[PCl_5]} = \frac{x \cdot x}{2-x} = 1$
$x^2 = 2 - x \implies x^2 + x - 2 = 0$
$(x+2)(x-1) = 0$
Since $x$ cannot be negative,$x = 1$.
Degree of dissociation $(\alpha)$ $= \frac{\text{moles dissociated}}{\text{initial moles}} = \frac{x}{2} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5$.

(C) Reaction: $N_2O_{4(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2NO_{2(g)}$
Initial moles $(t=0)$: $1 \ mol$ of $N_2O_4$ and $0 \ mol$ of $NO_2$.
At equilibrium $(t=eq)$: $(1-\alpha) \ mol$ of $N_2O_4$ and $2\alpha \ mol$ of $NO_2$,where $\alpha = 0.2$.
Total moles at equilibrium: $n_{total} = (1-\alpha) + 2\alpha = 1 + \alpha = 1 + 0.2 = 1.2 \ mol$.
Molar mass of $N_2O_4 = 92 \ g/mol$ and $NO_2 = 46 \ g/mol$.
Average molar mass of the mixture $(M_{mix})$:
$M_{mix} = \frac{(1 - \alpha) \times 92 + 2\alpha \times 46}{1 + \alpha} = \frac{0.8 \times 92 + 0.4 \times 46}{1.2} = \frac{73.6 + 18.4}{1.2} = \frac{92}{1.2} = 76.66 \ g/mol$.
Using the ideal gas law $PV = nRT$ or $PM = dRT$:
$d = \frac{P \times M_{mix}}{R \times T} = \frac{1 \times 76.66}{0.0821 \times 300} = \frac{76.66}{24.63} \approx 3.11 \ g/L$.

(D) For the reaction: ${N_2}{O_4}_{(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2N{O_2}_{(g)}$
Let the initial moles of ${N_2}{O_4}$ be $1$ and degree of dissociation be $\alpha$.
At equilibrium,moles of ${N_2}{O_4} = (1 - \alpha)$ and moles of $N{O_2} = 2\alpha$.
Total moles at equilibrium $= (1 - \alpha) + 2\alpha = (1 + \alpha)$.
Partial pressure of ${N_2}{O_4} = \frac{(1 - \alpha)}{(1 + \alpha)} \times P$.
Partial pressure of $N{O_2} = \frac{2\alpha}{(1 + \alpha)} \times P$.
$K_P = \frac{(P_{N{O_2}})^2}{P_{{N_2}{O_4}}} = \frac{[\frac{2\alpha}{1 + \alpha} \times P]^2}{\frac{1 - \alpha}{1 + \alpha} \times P} = \frac{4\alpha^2 P}{1 - \alpha^2}$.
Given $K_P = 2$ and $P = 0.5 \ atm$:
$2 = \frac{4 \times \alpha^2 \times 0.5}{1 - \alpha^2} = \frac{2\alpha^2}{1 - \alpha^2}$.
$1 - \alpha^2 = \alpha^2 \implies 2\alpha^2 = 1 \implies \alpha^2 = 0.5$.
$\alpha = \sqrt{0.5} \approx 0.707$.
Percentage dissociation $= \alpha \times 100 = 70.7 \% \approx 71 \%$.

(B) For the equilibrium: $PCl_5 \rightleftharpoons PCl_3 + Cl_2$
Initial moles: $1 \quad 0 \quad 0$
At equilibrium: $(1 - \alpha) \quad \alpha \quad \alpha$
Total moles at equilibrium: $(1 - \alpha) + \alpha + \alpha = 1 + \alpha$
Partial pressures: $p_{PCl_5} = \frac{1 - \alpha}{1 + \alpha} P$,$p_{PCl_3} = \frac{\alpha}{1 + \alpha} P$,$p_{Cl_2} = \frac{\alpha}{1 + \alpha} P$
$K_P = \frac{p_{PCl_3} \cdot p_{Cl_2}}{p_{PCl_5}} = \frac{\left( \frac{\alpha}{1 + \alpha} P \right) \left( \frac{\alpha}{1 + \alpha} P \right)}{\left( \frac{1 - \alpha}{1 + \alpha} P \right)} = \frac{\alpha^2 P}{1 - \alpha^2}$
For $\alpha << 1$,$1 - \alpha^2 \approx 1$,so $K_P \approx \alpha^2 P$
Thus,$\alpha^2 \approx \frac{K_P}{P}$,which implies $\alpha \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{P}}$.

(A) The relation between degree of dissociation $(\alpha)$ and vapour density is given by $\alpha = \frac{D-d}{d(n-1)}$,where $D$ is the theoretical vapour density,$d$ is the observed vapour density,and $n$ is the number of moles of products formed from one mole of reactant.
For the reaction $N_2O_4(g) \rightleftharpoons 2NO_2(g)$,$n = 2$.
Given: $D = 46$,$d = 24.5$.
Substituting the values:
$\alpha = \frac{46 - 24.5}{24.5(2 - 1)}$
$\alpha = \frac{21.5}{24.5} \approx 0.8775$
Percentage dissociation $= \alpha \times 100 = 0.8775 \times 100 = 87.75\%$.

(C) At $STP$,$112 \ mL$ of air is displaced by $0.23 \ g$ of the substance.
Since $22400 \ mL$ of any gas at $STP$ corresponds to $1 \ mole$,the mass of $22400 \ mL$ of the substance is:
$\text{Molar Mass} = \frac{0.23 \ g \times 22400 \ mL}{112 \ mL} = 46 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.
$\text{Vapor Density} = \frac{\text{Molar Mass}}{2} = \frac{46}{2} = 23$.

(A) The density of air is $d = 0.001293 \, g \, mL^{-1} = 1.293 \, g \, L^{-1}$.
At $STP$,the molar volume of an ideal gas is $22.4 \, L \, mol^{-1}$.
The molar mass $M$ of air is given by $M = d \times V_m = 1.293 \, g \, L^{-1} \times 22.4 \, L \, mol^{-1} \approx 28.96 \, g \, mol^{-1}$.
Vapor density is defined as $\frac{\text{Molar mass of gas}}{\text{Molar mass of hydrogen}} = \frac{M}{2}$.
Therefore,$\text{Vapor density} = \frac{28.96}{2} \approx 14.48 \approx 14.4$.

(C) The molar mass of $NO_2$ $(M_1)$ is $46 \, g/mol$ and $N_2O_4$ $(M_2)$ is $92 \, g/mol$.
Given the volume percentage,$V_1 = 20\%$ and $V_2 = 80\%$.
The average molar mass $(M_{avg})$ of the mixture is calculated as:
$M_{avg} = \frac{M_1 V_1 + M_2 V_2}{V_1 + V_2} = \frac{46 \times 20 + 92 \times 80}{100} = \frac{920 + 7360}{100} = \frac{8280}{100} = 82.8 \, g/mol$.
The vapor density $(VD)$ is half of the molar mass:
$VD = \frac{M_{avg}}{2} = \frac{82.8}{2} = 41.4$.

(B) The density of the gas at $STP$ is $0.178 \, g/L$.
The molar mass of the gas is calculated as: $\text{Molar mass} = \text{Density at } STP \times 22.4 \, L/mol$.
$\text{Molar mass} = 0.178 \times 22.4 = 3.9872 \, g/mol \approx 4 \, g/mol$.
The vapor density is defined as: $\text{Vapor density} = \frac{\text{Molar mass}}{2}$.
$\text{Vapor density} = \frac{4}{2} = 2$.

(C) The formula for vapor density relative to a gas is given by: $\text{Vapor Density} = \frac{M_{\text{substance}}}{M_{\text{reference gas}}}$
Given that the reference gas is $CH_4$,its molecular mass $M_{CH_4} = 12 + (4 \times 1) = 16 \, g/mol$.
Given vapor density $= 4$.
Substituting the values: $4 = \frac{M_{\text{substance}}}{16}$.
Therefore,$M_{\text{substance}} = 4 \times 16 = 64 \, g/mol$.

(B) The molar mass of the mixture is given by $M_{mix} = 2 \times \text{Vapour Density} = 2 \times 27.6 = 55.2 \ g/mol$.
Let the mole fraction of $N_2O_4$ be $x$. Then the mole fraction of $NO_2$ is $(1 - x)$.
The molar mass of $N_2O_4$ is $92 \ g/mol$ and $NO_2$ is $46 \ g/mol$.
$M_{mix} = x(92) + (1 - x)(46) = 55.2$.
$92x + 46 - 46x = 55.2$.
$46x = 9.2$.
$x = \frac{9.2}{46} = 0.2$.

(C) For the reaction: $A_2 + B_2 \rightleftharpoons 2AB$
Initial moles: $1$ mol of $A_2$ and $1$ mol of $B_2$ are taken.
At equilibrium: $A_2 = (1 - \alpha)$,$B_2 = (1 - \alpha)$,$AB = 2\alpha$.
Equilibrium constant $K_c = \frac{[AB]^2}{[A_2][B_2]} = \frac{(2\alpha)^2}{(1-\alpha)(1-\alpha)} = \frac{4\alpha^2}{(1-\alpha)^2}$.
Given $K_c = 2$,so $\frac{4\alpha^2}{(1-\alpha)^2} = 2$.
Taking square root on both sides: $\frac{2\alpha}{1-\alpha} = \sqrt{2}$.
$2\alpha = \sqrt{2} - \sqrt{2}\alpha$.
$\alpha(2 + \sqrt{2}) = \sqrt{2}$.
$\alpha = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2 + \sqrt{2}} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}(\sqrt{2} + 1)} = \frac{1}{1 + \sqrt{2}}$.

(B) For the equilibrium $PCl_5 \rightleftharpoons PCl_3 + Cl_2$,the equilibrium constant $K_p$ is given by:
$K_p = \frac{\alpha^2}{1 - \alpha^2} P$
Given $\alpha << 1$,we can approximate $1 - \alpha^2 \approx 1$.
Thus,$K_p \approx \alpha^2 P$.
Rearranging for $\alpha$,we get $\alpha^2 \approx \frac{K_p}{P}$,which implies $\alpha \approx \sqrt{\frac{K_p}{P}}$.
Therefore,$\alpha \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{P}}$.

(B) Molecular weight $= 2 \times \text{Vapour Density} = 2 \times 5.6 = 11.2 \ g/mol$.
Number of moles of gas $= \frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molecular weight}} = \frac{5.6 \ g}{11.2 \ g/mol} = 0.5 \ mol$.
Since $1 \ mol$ of any gas occupies $22.4 \ L$ at $STP$,
Volume of $0.5 \ mol$ of gas $= 0.5 \ mol \times 22.4 \ L/mol = 11.2 \ L$.
Hence,option $B$ is correct.

(D) Let the initial moles of $N_2O_4$ be $1$ and $NO_2$ be $0$. At equilibrium,the moles are $N_2O_4 = (1 - \alpha)$ and $NO_2 = 2\alpha$,where $\alpha$ is the degree of dissociation.
Total moles at equilibrium = $(1 - \alpha) + 2\alpha = 1 + \alpha$.
Since volume is proportional to the number of moles at constant pressure and temperature,the mole fraction is equal to the volume fraction.
Given that $NO_2$ is $50\%$ of the total volume,we have $\frac{2\alpha}{1 + \alpha} = 0.5$.
$2\alpha = 0.5(1 + \alpha) \implies 2\alpha = 0.5 + 0.5\alpha$.
$1.5\alpha = 0.5 \implies \alpha = \frac{0.5}{1.5} = \frac{1}{3}$.
Percentage of dissociation = $\alpha \times 100 = \frac{1}{3} \times 100 = 33.33\%$.

(D) The dissociation reaction is: $PCl_{5(g)} \rightleftharpoons PCl_{3(g)} + Cl_{2(g)}$
Initial moles: $1$,$0$,$0$
Moles at equilibrium: $(1 - 0.4)$,$0.4$,$0.4$,which equals $0.6$,$0.4$,$0.4$.
Total moles at equilibrium = $0.6 + 0.4 + 0.4 = 1.4$.
The average molar mass of the mixture is $\overline{M} = \frac{\text{Total mass}}{\text{Total moles}} = \frac{208.5}{1.4} \approx 148.93\,g\,mol^{-1}$.
Using the ideal gas law for density: $d = \frac{P\overline{M}}{RT}$.
Given $P = 1\,atm$,$R = 0.0821\,L\,atm\,K^{-1}mol^{-1}$,and $T = 300\,K$.
$d = \frac{1 \times 148.93}{0.0821 \times 300} = \frac{148.93}{24.63} \approx 6.05\,g\,L^{-1}$.

(B) For the reaction: $N_{2(g)} + O_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2NO_{(g)}$
Initial concentration $(t=0)$: $1 \ M$ of $N_2$,$1 \ M$ of $O_2$,$0 \ M$ of $NO$.
At equilibrium $(t=eq)$: $(1-\alpha) \ M$ of $N_2$,$(1-\alpha) \ M$ of $O_2$,$2\alpha \ M$ of $NO$.
$K_C = \frac{[NO]^2}{[N_2][O_2]} = \frac{(2\alpha)^2}{(1-\alpha)(1-\alpha)} = \frac{(2\alpha)^2}{(1-\alpha)^2} = 2$.
Taking the square root on both sides: $\sqrt{2} = \frac{2\alpha}{1-\alpha}$.
$\sqrt{2}(1-\alpha) = 2\alpha$.
$\sqrt{2} - \sqrt{2}\alpha = 2\alpha$.
$\sqrt{2} = \alpha(2 + \sqrt{2})$.
$\alpha = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2 + \sqrt{2}} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}(\sqrt{2} + 1)} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} + 1}$.

(D) The degree of dissociation $(\alpha)$ of an electrolyte is influenced by several factors:
$1$. Temperature: As temperature increases,the kinetic energy of the ions increases,which generally increases the degree of dissociation.
$2$. Concentration: According to Ostwald's dilution law,the degree of dissociation increases with dilution (decrease in concentration).
$3$. Nature of solvent: The dielectric constant of the solvent plays a crucial role; a solvent with a higher dielectric constant facilitates better dissociation.
$4$. Pressure: For electrolytes in solution,the degree of dissociation is essentially independent of pressure,as liquids and solids are nearly incompressible.

(A) Reaction: $2AB_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2AB_{(g)} + B_{2(g)}$
Initial moles: $1, 0, 0$
Equilibrium moles: $1-x, x, \frac{x}{2}$
Total moles: $1 - x + x + \frac{x}{2} = 1 + \frac{x}{2}$
Since $x \ll 1$,total moles $\approx 1$.
Partial pressures:
$p_{AB_2} = \frac{1-x}{1+x/2} P \approx P$
$p_{AB} = \frac{x}{1+x/2} P \approx xP$
$p_{B_2} = \frac{x/2}{1+x/2} P \approx \frac{x}{2} P$
$K_p = \frac{(p_{AB})^2 (p_{B_2})}{(p_{AB_2})^2} = \frac{(xP)^2 (xP/2)}{P^2} = \frac{Px^3}{2}$

(B) For the equilibrium: $PCl_5 \rightleftharpoons PCl_3 + Cl_2$
Initial moles: $1, 0, 0$
Moles at equilibrium: $(1-\alpha), \alpha, \alpha$
Total moles at equilibrium: $1-\alpha + \alpha + \alpha = 1+\alpha$
Partial pressures: $p_{PCl_5} = \frac{1-\alpha}{1+\alpha} P$,$p_{PCl_3} = \frac{\alpha}{1+\alpha} P$,$p_{Cl_2} = \frac{\alpha}{1+\alpha} P$
$K_p = \frac{p_{PCl_3} \cdot p_{Cl_2}}{p_{PCl_5}} = \frac{(\frac{\alpha}{1+\alpha} P)(\frac{\alpha}{1+\alpha} P)}{\frac{1-\alpha}{1+\alpha} P} = \frac{\alpha^2 P}{1-\alpha^2}$
Since $\alpha$ is very small,$1-\alpha^2 \approx 1$,so $K_p \approx \alpha^2 P$
Therefore,$\alpha^2 \propto \frac{1}{P}$ or $\alpha \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{P}}$.

(B) The reaction is $2AB_{(g)} \rightleftharpoons A_{2(g)} + B_{2(g)}$.
Let the initial moles of $AB$ be $1$.
At equilibrium,the moles are: $AB = (1 - \alpha)$,$A_2 = \alpha/2$,$B_2 = \alpha/2$,where $\alpha$ is the degree of dissociation.
The equilibrium constant expression is $K = \frac{[A_2][B_2]}{[AB]^2} = \frac{(\alpha/2)(\alpha/2)}{(1-\alpha)^2} = \frac{\alpha^2}{4(1-\alpha)^2}$.
Given $K = \frac{1}{64}$,we have $\frac{\alpha^2}{4(1-\alpha)^2} = \frac{1}{64}$.
Taking the square root on both sides: $\frac{\alpha}{2(1-\alpha)} = \frac{1}{8}$.
Simplifying: $\frac{\alpha}{1-\alpha} = \frac{2}{8} = \frac{1}{4}$.
$4\alpha = 1 - \alpha$ $\Rightarrow 5\alpha = 1$ $\Rightarrow \alpha = 0.2$.
Therefore,the degree of dissociation is $0.2 \times 100 = 20\%$.

(C) The relationship between the degree of dissociation $\alpha$,theoretical vapour density $D$,and observed vapour density $d$ is given by the formula: $\alpha = \frac{D - d}{(n - 1)d}$.
For the reaction $N_2O_{4(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2NO_{2(g)}$,the number of moles of product formed from one mole of reactant is $n = 2$.
Substituting $n = 2$ into the formula: $\alpha = \frac{D - d}{(2 - 1)d} = \frac{D - d}{d}$.
Rearranging the equation: $\alpha = \frac{D}{d} - 1$,which gives $\frac{D}{d} = \alpha + 1$.
At point $A$ on the graph,the degree of dissociation $\alpha = 0$ (this represents the initial state before any dissociation has occurred).
Therefore,at point $A$,$\frac{D}{d} = 0 + 1 = 1$.

(A) The initial moles are $2$ moles of $AB_2$. Let the degree of dissociation be $x$.
For the reaction: $2AB_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2AB_{(g)} + B_{2(g)}$
Initial moles: $2, 0, 0$
Moles at equilibrium: $2(1-x), 2x, x$
Total moles at equilibrium $= 2-2x+2x+x = 2+x$.
Partial pressures at equilibrium:
$p_{AB_2} = \frac{2(1-x)}{2+x} P \approx P$ (since $x \ll 1$)
$p_{AB} = \frac{2x}{2+x} P \approx xP$
$p_{B_2} = \frac{x}{2+x} P \approx \frac{x}{2} P$
$K_p = \frac{(p_{AB})^2 (p_{B_2})}{(p_{AB_2})^2} = \frac{(xP)^2 (xP/2)}{P^2} = \frac{Px^3}{2}$

(D) The degree of dissociation $(\alpha)$ of a weak acid is given by the formula $\alpha = \sqrt{\frac{K_a}{C}}$,where $K_a$ is the acid dissociation constant and $C$ is the molar concentration of the solution.
For a given weak acid like $4-$nitrophenol,$K_a$ remains constant at a constant temperature.
Therefore,$\alpha \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{C}}$.
To have the highest degree of dissociation,the concentration $C$ must be the lowest.
Comparing the given concentrations: $0.85 \ M, 0.15 \ M, 0.10 \ M,$ and $0.015 \ M$.
The lowest concentration is $0.015 \ M$.
Thus,the solution with $0.015 \ M$ concentration will have the highest degree of dissociation.

(A) The vapour density $(V.D.)$ of a mixture is given by the weighted average of the vapour densities of its components:
$V.D._{mix} = X_{NO_2} \times V.D._{NO_2} + X_{N_2O_4} \times V.D._{N_2O_4}$
Given that $V.D._{NO_2} = \frac{M_{NO_2}}{2} = \frac{46}{2} = 23$ and $V.D._{N_2O_4} = \frac{M_{N_2O_4}}{2} = \frac{92}{2} = 46$.
Let the mole fraction of $NO_2$ be $x$,then the mole fraction of $N_2O_4$ is $(1 - x)$.
Substituting the values:
$27.6 = x(23) + (1 - x)(46)$
$27.6 = 23x + 46 - 46x$
$27.6 = 46 - 23x$
$23x = 46 - 27.6$
$23x = 18.4$
$x = \frac{18.4}{23} = 0.8$
Therefore,the mole fraction of $NO_2$ is $0.8$.

(A) For the reaction: $A_{(g)} \rightleftharpoons B_{(g)} + \frac{1}{2} C_{(g)}$
Initial moles: $1, 0, 0$
At equilibrium: $(1 - \alpha), \alpha, \frac{\alpha}{2}$
Total moles at equilibrium = $(1 - \alpha) + \alpha + \frac{\alpha}{2} = 1 + \frac{\alpha}{2}$
Partial pressures are given by $P_i = x_i \cdot p$,where $x_i$ is the mole fraction and $p$ is the total pressure.
$P_A = \frac{1 - \alpha}{1 + \frac{\alpha}{2}} p$
$P_B = \frac{\alpha}{1 + \frac{\alpha}{2}} p$
$P_C = \frac{\alpha/2}{1 + \frac{\alpha}{2}} p$
$K_p = \frac{P_B \cdot P_C^{1/2}}{P_A} = \frac{(\frac{\alpha}{1 + \alpha/2} p) \cdot (\frac{\alpha/2}{1 + \alpha/2} p)^{1/2}}{\frac{1 - \alpha}{1 + \alpha/2} p}$
Simplifying the expression:
$K_p = \frac{\alpha \cdot (\alpha/2)^{1/2} \cdot p^{1/2}}{1 - \alpha} \cdot \frac{(1 + \alpha/2)^{1/2}}{(1 + \alpha/2)^{1/2}} = \frac{\alpha \cdot \alpha^{1/2} \cdot p^{1/2}}{\sqrt{2} \cdot (1 - \alpha) \cdot (\frac{2 + \alpha}{2})^{1/2}} = \frac{\alpha^{3/2} p^{1/2}}{(2 + \alpha)^{1/2}(1 - \alpha)}$

(C) The reaction is $A_{(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2B_{(g)} + C_{(g)}$.
Let the initial pressure of $A$ be $P_0 = 450 \ mm \ Hg$.
Let the pressure of $A$ that decomposes at time $t$ be $p$.
At $t=0$: $P_A = 450, P_B = 0, P_C = 0$. Total pressure $P_i = 450 \ mm \ Hg$.
At time $t$: $P_A = 450 - p, P_B = 2p, P_C = p$.
Total pressure $P_t = (450 - p) + 2p + p = 450 + 2p$.
Given $P_t = 720 \ mm \ Hg$,so $450 + 2p = 720$.
$2p = 270 \implies p = 135 \ mm \ Hg$.
The fraction of $A$ decomposed is $\alpha = \frac{p}{P_0} = \frac{135}{450} = 0.3$.
Given $\alpha = x \times 10^{-1} = 0.3$,therefore $x = 3$.

(C) The equilibrium constant $K_c$ for the reaction $2 \ NO_{(g)} \rightleftharpoons N_{2_{(g)}} + O_{2_{(g)}}$ is given by:
$K_c = \frac{[N_2][O_2]}{[NO]^2} = \frac{(3.0 \times 10^{-3})(4.2 \times 10^{-3})}{(2.8 \times 10^{-3})^2} = \frac{12.6 \times 10^{-6}}{7.84 \times 10^{-6}} \approx 1.607$
For the reaction starting with $0.1 \ M$ of $NO_{(g)}$:
$2 \ NO_{(g)} \rightleftharpoons N_{2_{(g)}} + O_{2_{(g)}}$
Initial: $0.1 \quad 0 \quad 0$
At equilibrium: $0.1(1 - \alpha) \quad 0.05 \alpha \quad 0.05 \alpha$
$K_c = \frac{(0.05 \alpha)(0.05 \alpha)}{(0.1(1 - \alpha))^2} = \frac{0.0025 \alpha^2}{0.01(1 - \alpha)^2} = 0.25 \left( \frac{\alpha}{1 - \alpha} \right)^2$
$1.607 = 0.25 \left( \frac{\alpha}{1 - \alpha} \right)^2$
$\left( \frac{\alpha}{1 - \alpha} \right)^2 = \frac{1.607}{0.25} = 6.428$
$\frac{\alpha}{1 - \alpha} = \sqrt{6.428} \approx 2.535$
$\alpha = 2.535 - 2.535 \alpha$
$3.535 \alpha = 2.535$
$\alpha = \frac{2.535}{3.535} \approx 0.717$

(A) For the reaction: $X_2Y_{(g)} \rightleftharpoons X_{2(g)} + \frac{1}{2}Y_{2(g)}$
Initial moles: $1, 0, 0$
Moles at equilibrium: $(1-x), x, \frac{x}{2}$
Total moles at equilibrium: $1-x+x+\frac{x}{2} = 1+\frac{x}{2}$
Partial pressures: $P_{X_2Y} = \frac{1-x}{1+x/2} P$,$P_{X_2} = \frac{x}{1+x/2} P$,$P_{Y_2} = \frac{x/2}{1+x/2} P$
$Kp = \frac{P_{X_2} \cdot (P_{Y_2})^{1/2}}{P_{X_2Y}} = \frac{[x/(1+x/2)] P \cdot [x/2(1+x/2) P]^{1/2}}{[(1-x)/(1+x/2)] P}$
Since $x \ll 1$,we approximate $1-x \approx 1$ and $1+x/2 \approx 1$.
$Kp \approx \frac{x \cdot (x/2)^{1/2} \cdot P^{1/2}}{1} = \frac{x^{3/2} \cdot P^{1/2}}{\sqrt{2}}$
$Kp^2 = \frac{x^3 \cdot P}{2} \implies x^3 = \frac{2 Kp^2}{P}$
$x = \left( \frac{2 Kp^2}{P} \right)^{1/3}$

(C) The dissociation reaction is: $AB_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons AB_{(g)} + \frac{1}{2} B_{2(g)}$
Initial moles: $1, 0, 0$
Moles at equilibrium: $(1-x), x, \frac{x}{2}$
Total moles at equilibrium: $1-x+x+\frac{x}{2} = 1+\frac{x}{2}$
Partial pressures: $P_{AB_2} = \frac{1-x}{1+x/2}P$,$P_{AB} = \frac{x}{1+x/2}P$,$P_{B_2} = \frac{x/2}{1+x/2}P$
Since $x \ll 1$,we approximate $1+x/2 \approx 1$ and $1-x \approx 1$.
Thus,$P_{AB_2} \approx P$,$P_{AB} \approx xP$,$P_{B_2} \approx \frac{x}{2}P$.
$K_p = \frac{P_{AB} \cdot (P_{B_2})^{1/2}}{P_{AB_2}} = \frac{(xP) \cdot (xP/2)^{1/2}}{P} = x \cdot (xP/2)^{1/2} = x^{3/2} \cdot (P/2)^{1/2}$.
Squaring both sides: $K_p^2 = x^3 \cdot \frac{P}{2}$.
Solving for $x$: $x^3 = \frac{2 K_p^2}{P} \Rightarrow x = \left( \frac{2 K_p^2}{P} \right)^{1/3}$.

(D) The reaction is $H_2O_{(g)} \rightleftharpoons H_{2(g)} + \frac{1}{2} O_{2(g)}$.
At $t = 0$,we have $1 \ mole$ of $H_2O$.
At equilibrium,the moles are: $H_2O = 1-\alpha$,$H_2 = \alpha$,$O_2 = \frac{\alpha}{2}$.
Total moles $n_T = 1 + \frac{\alpha}{2} \approx 1$ (since $\alpha \ll 1$).
The equilibrium constant $K_p$ is given by:
$K_p = \frac{P_{H_2} \cdot P_{O_2}^{1/2}}{P_{H_2O}} = \frac{(\alpha \cdot P) \cdot (\frac{\alpha}{2} \cdot P)^{1/2}}{(1-\alpha) \cdot P}$.
Given $P = 1 \ bar$,$K_p = \frac{\alpha \cdot (\alpha/2)^{1/2}}{1} = \frac{\alpha^{3/2}}{\sqrt{2}}$.
$8.0 \times 10^{-3} = \frac{\alpha^{3/2}}{\sqrt{2}}$.
$\alpha^{3/2} = 8.0 \times 10^{-3} \times \sqrt{2} \approx 11.31 \times 10^{-3}$.
$\alpha = (11.31 \times 10^{-3})^{2/3} \approx 5.04 \times 10^{-2}$.
The nearest integer value is $5$.

(B) The vapour density $(V.D.)$ of a gas is defined as the ratio of the density of the gas to the density of hydrogen gas at the same temperature and pressure.
$V.D. = \frac{\text{density of air}}{\text{density of } H_2}$
Given,density of air = $0.001293 \ g \ mL^{-1}$ and density of $H_2$ at $STP$ = $0.000089 \ g \ mL^{-1}$.
$V.D. = \frac{0.001293}{0.000089} \approx 14.53$.
Since $14.53$ is closest to $14.4$ (the standard value for air),and based on the provided options,the calculation yields approximately $14.5$. Given the options,$14.4$ is the standard theoretical value,but based on the provided numbers,$14.5$ is the result. Among the choices,$14.4$ is not present,but $14.3$ is the closest value.

(A) The degree of dissociation $(\alpha)$ is given as $7.2 \times 10^{-4}$.
Percent dissociation is calculated by multiplying the degree of dissociation by $100$.
$\text{Percent dissociation} = \alpha \times 100$
$\text{Percent dissociation} = 7.2 \times 10^{-4} \times 100 = 0.072 \%$

(B) The vapour density of a gas is defined as the ratio of the mass of a certain volume of the gas to the mass of an equal volume of hydrogen gas at the same temperature and pressure.
It is calculated using the formula: $\text{Vapour Density} = \frac{\text{Molar Mass of Gas}}{2}$.
The molar mass of $O_2$ gas is $32 \ g/mol$.
Therefore,$\text{Vapour Density} = \frac{32}{2} = 16$.

(C) Let the initial pressure of $N_2O_5$ be $P_0 = 300 \ mm \ Hg$. Let $\alpha$ be the fraction of $N_2O_5$ decomposed.
The reaction is: $N_2O_5 \rightleftharpoons 2NO_2 + \frac{1}{2}O_2$.
At $t=0$: $P_0, 0, 0$.
At equilibrium: $P_0(1-\alpha), 2P_0\alpha, \frac{1}{2}P_0\alpha$.
Total pressure at equilibrium $P_t = P_0(1-\alpha) + 2P_0\alpha + 0.5P_0\alpha = P_0(1 + 1.5\alpha)$.
Given $P_t = 480 \ mm \ Hg$ and $P_0 = 300 \ mm \ Hg$.
$480 = 300(1 + 1.5\alpha)$.
$1.6 = 1 + 1.5\alpha$.
$0.6 = 1.5\alpha$.
$\alpha = \frac{0.6}{1.5} = 0.4$.

(B) The reaction for the dissociation of $PCl_5$ is: $PCl_5(g) \rightleftharpoons PCl_3(g) + Cl_2(g)$.
Initial moles: $PCl_5 = 3$,$N_2 = 3$,$PCl_3 = 0$,$Cl_2 = 0$.
Let $\alpha$ be the degree of dissociation of $PCl_5$. At equilibrium,moles are: $PCl_5 = 3(1-\alpha)$,$PCl_3 = 3\alpha$,$Cl_2 = 3\alpha$,$N_2 = 3$.
Total moles at equilibrium $n_{total} = 3(1-\alpha) + 3\alpha + 3\alpha + 3 = 6 + 3\alpha$.
Using the ideal gas law $PV = nRT$:
$3.28 \times 100 = (6 + 3\alpha) \times 0.0821 \times 500$.
$328 = (6 + 3\alpha) \times 41.05$.
$6 + 3\alpha = \frac{328}{41.05} \approx 7.99$.
$3\alpha = 7.99 - 6 = 1.99$.
$\alpha = \frac{1.99}{3} \approx 0.663$.
Percentage dissociation = $0.663 \times 100 = 66.3 \% \approx 66.6 \%$.

(A) For the reaction $N_2O_{4(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2NO_{2(g)}$:
Initial moles: $1$ $0$
At equilibrium: $(1-\alpha)$ $2\alpha$
Total moles at equilibrium $= 1-\alpha+2\alpha = 1+\alpha$.
Partial pressure of $N_2O_4 = \frac{1-\alpha}{1+\alpha} P$.
Partial pressure of $NO_2 = \frac{2\alpha}{1+\alpha} P$.
$K_p = \frac{(P_{NO_2})^2}{P_{N_2O_4}} = \frac{(\frac{2\alpha}{1+\alpha} P)^2}{\frac{1-\alpha}{1+\alpha} P} = \frac{4\alpha^2 P}{1-\alpha^2}$.
Rearranging for $\alpha$:
$K_p(1-\alpha^2) = 4\alpha^2 P$
$K_p = \alpha^2(4P + K_p)$
$\alpha^2 = \frac{K_p}{4P+K_p}$
$\alpha = \sqrt{\frac{K_p}{4P+K_p}}$.

(D) The reaction is $N_2O_4 \rightleftharpoons 2NO_2$.
The molar mass of $N_2O_4$ is $92 \ g/mol$.
The theoretical vapour density $D$ is calculated as $D = \frac{\text{Molar mass}}{2} = \frac{92}{2} = 46$.
The observed vapour density $d$ is given as $40$.
The number of moles of product formed from $1 \ mole$ of reactant is $n = 2$.
The degree of dissociation $\alpha$ is given by the formula $\alpha = \frac{D-d}{(n-1)d}$.
Substituting the values: $\alpha = \frac{46-40}{(2-1) \times 40} = \frac{6}{40} = 0.15$.

(C)

Species	$PCl_{5(g)}$	$PCl_{3(g)}$	$Cl_{2(g)}$
Initial moles	$1$	$0$	$0$
Equilibrium moles	$1 - \alpha$	$\alpha$	$\alpha$

Total moles at equilibrium = $(1 - \alpha) + \alpha + \alpha = 1 + \alpha$.
Partial pressures: $P_{PCl_5} = \frac{1 - \alpha}{1 + \alpha} P$,$P_{PCl_3} = \frac{\alpha}{1 + \alpha} P$,$P_{Cl_2} = \frac{\alpha}{1 + \alpha} P$.
Equilibrium constant $K_P = \frac{P_{PCl_3} \cdot P_{Cl_2}}{P_{PCl_5}} = \frac{(\frac{\alpha}{1 + \alpha} P)(\frac{\alpha}{1 + \alpha} P)}{(\frac{1 - \alpha}{1 + \alpha} P)} = \frac{\alpha^2 P}{1 - \alpha^2}$.
Rearranging: $K_P(1 - \alpha^2) = \alpha^2 P \implies K_P = \alpha^2(P + K_P) \implies \alpha^2 = \frac{K_P}{K_P + P}$.
Therefore,$\alpha = \left( \frac{K_P}{K_P + P} \right)^{1/2}$.

(B) For the dissociation of a weak electrolyte $A_{x}B_{y} \rightleftharpoons xA^{y+} + yB^{x-}$,let $\alpha$ be the degree of dissociation.
At equilibrium,the concentrations are: $[A_{x}B_{y}] = c(1-\alpha)$,$[A^{y+}] = xc\alpha$,and $[B^{x-}] = yc\alpha$.
The dissociation constant $K$ is given by: $K = \frac{[A^{y+}]^{x} [B^{x-}]^{y}}{[A_{x}B_{y}]} = \frac{(xc\alpha)^{x} (yc\alpha)^{y}}{c(1-\alpha)}$.
Since $A_{x}B_{y}$ is a weak electrolyte,$\alpha \ll 1$,therefore $(1-\alpha) \approx 1$.
Thus,$K = \frac{x^{x} c^{x} \alpha^{x} y^{y} c^{y} \alpha^{y}}{c} = c^{x+y-1} x^{x} y^{y} \alpha^{x+y}$.
Solving for $\alpha$,we get: $\alpha^{x+y} = \frac{K}{c^{x+y-1} x^{x} y^{y}}$.
Therefore,$\alpha = (\frac{K}{c^{x+y-1} x^{x} y^{y}})^{\frac{1}{x+y}}$.
