When the rate of the forward reaction becomes equal to the rate of the backward reaction,this state is termed as:
A
Chemical equilibrium
B
Reversible state
C
Equilibrium
D
All of these

Solution

(A) At equilibrium,the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the backward reaction.

A
Equilibrium is maintained rapidly
B
The concentration of reactants and products become same at equilibrium
C
The concentration of reactants and products are constant but different
D

Even though the concentrations of reactants and products remain constant over time,the reactions do not stop; they continue to occur at equal rates in both directions.
10
MediumMCQ
In which of the following cases does the reaction proceed towards completion?
A
$K = 10^3$
B
$K = 10^{-2}$
C
$K = 10$
D
$K = 1$

Solution

(A) The dissociation reaction of ammonia is: $2NH_3(g) \rightleftharpoons N_2(g) + 3H_2(g)$.
$K_p$ is the equilibrium constant,which depends only on temperature for a given reaction.
Therefore,$K_p$ does not change with pressure at a constant temperature.
Thus,option $A$ is correct.
14

A
The opposing reaction ceases.
B
The concentration of reactants and products are equal.
C
The velocity of the opposing reaction is the same as that of the forward reaction.
D

15
MediumMCQ
For a reaction $H_2 + I_2 \rightleftharpoons 2HI$ at $721 \ K$,the value of equilibrium constant is $50$. If $0.5 \ mol$ each of $H_2$ and $I_2$ is added to the system,the value of equilibrium constant will be
A
$40$
B
$60$
C
$50$
D
$30$

Solution

(C) The equilibrium constant $(K_c)$ for a given reaction depends only on the temperature.
Since the temperature remains constant at $721 \ K$,the value of the equilibrium constant will remain unchanged regardless of the addition of reactants or products.
Therefore,the value of the equilibrium constant remains $50$.
16
EasyMCQ
In the reaction ${N_2}_{(g)} + 3{H_2}_{(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2{NH_3}_{(g)}$,the value of the equilibrium constant depends on
A
Volume of the reaction vessel
B
Total pressure of the system
C
The initial concentration of nitrogen and hydrogen
D
The temperature

Solution

(D) The equilibrium constant ($K_c$ or $K_p$) for a given chemical reaction is a function of temperature only.
It is independent of the initial concentrations of reactants,the total pressure of the system,the volume of the reaction vessel,or the presence of a catalyst.
The relationship between the equilibrium constant and temperature is given by the van't Hoff equation: $\ln \frac{K_2}{K_1} = \frac{\Delta H^\circ}{R} (\frac{1}{T_1} - \frac{1}{T_2})$.
Therefore,the value of the equilibrium constant depends on the temperature.
17
EasyMCQ
For the equilibrium system $H_2 + I_2 \rightleftharpoons 2HI$,if the concentration of the reactants is increased at $25\,^oC$,what happens to the value of $K_c$?
A
Increase
B
Decrease
C
Remains the same
D
Depends on the nature of the reactants

Solution

(C) The equilibrium constant $K_c$ is a function of temperature only.
Since the temperature is kept constant at $25\,^oC$,changing the concentration of the reactants or products will shift the equilibrium position according to Le Chatelier's Principle,but it will not alter the value of the equilibrium constant $K_c$.
Therefore,$K_c$ remains the same.
18
MediumMCQ
The equilibrium constant of the reaction $H_{2(g)} + I_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2HI_{(g)}$ is $64$. If the volume of the container is reduced to one-fourth of its original volume,the value of the equilibrium constant will be
A
$16$
B
$32$
C
$64$
D
$128$

Solution

(C) The equilibrium constant $(K_c)$ of a reaction depends only on the temperature.
It is independent of the initial concentrations,pressure,or the volume of the container.
Since the temperature remains constant,the value of the equilibrium constant will remain $64$.
19
EasyMCQ
In the equilibrium $CH_3COOH + H_2O \rightleftharpoons CH_3COO^{-} + H_3O^{+}$,the equilibrium constant may change when:
A
$CH_3COO^{-}$ is added
B
$CH_3COOH$ is added
C
$A$ catalyst is added
D
The mixture is heated

Solution

(D) The equilibrium constant $(K_c)$ is a function of temperature only.
It remains unaffected by changes in concentration,pressure,or the addition of a catalyst.
Therefore,when the mixture is heated,the value of the equilibrium constant changes.
20
EasyMCQ
Which statement for the equilibrium constant is true for the reaction $A + B \rightleftharpoons C$?
A
It does not change with temperature.
B
It changes when a catalyst is added.
C
It increases with temperature.
D
It changes with temperature.

Solution

(D) For any chemical reaction,the value of the equilibrium constant $(K)$ is a function of temperature. It changes with temperature for both exothermic and endothermic reactions. However,the addition of a catalyst does not affect the equilibrium constant because it increases the rate of both forward and backward reactions equally.
21
MediumMCQ
The $K_c$ for $H_{2(g)} + I_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2HI_{(g)}$ is $64$. If the volume of the container is reduced to one-half of its original volume,the value of the equilibrium constant will be
A
$28$
B
$64$
C
$32$
D
$16$

Solution

(B) The equilibrium constant $(K_c)$ is a characteristic property of a reaction at a given temperature.
It depends only on the temperature and is independent of the initial concentrations,pressure,or volume of the reaction container.
Therefore,changing the volume of the container does not change the value of $K_c$.
Thus,the value remains $64$.
22
EasyMCQ
$A$ reversible reaction $H_2 + Cl_2 \rightleftharpoons 2HCl$ is carried out in a $1 \ L$ flask. If the same reaction is carried out in a $2 \ L$ flask,the equilibrium constant will be
A
Decreased
B
Doubled
C
Halved
D
Same

Solution

(D) The equilibrium constant ($K_c$ or $K_p$) for a given reversible reaction depends only on the temperature.
It is independent of the volume of the reaction vessel,pressure,or the initial concentration of reactants.
For the reaction $H_2(g) + Cl_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2HCl(g)$,the change in the number of moles of gaseous products and reactants is $\Delta n_g = 2 - (1 + 1) = 0$.
Since the equilibrium constant is independent of volume,it will remain the same regardless of the flask size.
23
EasyMCQ
For the reaction $H_{2(g)} + I_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2HI_{(g)}$,the equilibrium constant changes with:
A
Total pressure
B
Catalyst
C
The amounts of $H_2$ and $I_2$ taken
D
Temperature

Solution

(D) The equilibrium constant ($K_c$ or $K_p$) is a function of temperature only for a given reaction.
It does not change with the addition of a catalyst,changes in pressure,or changes in the initial concentrations of reactants or products.
Therefore,the correct option is $(D)$.
24
MediumMCQ
For the reaction $H_2O_{(s)} \rightleftharpoons H_2O_{(l)}$ at $0\,^\circ C$ and normal pressure:
A
$\Delta H > T\Delta S$
B
$\Delta H = T\Delta S$
C
$\Delta H = \Delta G$
D
$\Delta H < T\Delta S$

Solution

(B) For the phase transition $H_2O_{(s)} \rightleftharpoons H_2O_{(l)}$ at $0\,^\circ C$ $(273.15\,K)$ and $1\,atm$ pressure,the system is in a state of equilibrium.
At equilibrium,the change in Gibbs free energy is $\Delta G = 0$.
From the thermodynamic relation $\Delta G = \Delta H - T\Delta S$,substituting $\Delta G = 0$ gives $0 = \Delta H - T\Delta S$.
Therefore,$\Delta H = T\Delta S$.
25
EasyMCQ
In which of the following cases does the reaction go farthest to completion?
A
$K = 10^3$
B
$K = 10^{-2}$
C
$K = 10$
D
$K = 1$

Solution

(A) The extent of a reaction is determined by the magnitude of the equilibrium constant $(K)$.
$A$ Higher the value of the equilibrium constant $(K)$,the greater the concentration of products relative to reactants at equilibrium.
$B$ Therefore,a larger value of $K$ indicates that the reaction proceeds further toward completion.
$C$ Comparing the given values: $10^3 > 10 > 1 > 10^{-2}$.
$D$ Thus,$K = 10^3$ represents the case where the reaction goes farthest to completion.

The catalyst catalyses the forward reaction.
B
The catalyst catalyses the backward reaction.
C
The catalyst influences the direct and the reverse reaction to the same extent.
D
The catalyst increases the rate of forward reaction and decreases the rate of backward reaction.

Solution

(C) catalyst provides an alternative pathway with a lower activation energy for both the forward and backward reactions.
Consequently,it increases the rate of both the forward and reverse reactions to the same extent.
This allows the system to reach the state of chemical equilibrium faster without changing the equilibrium constant or the equilibrium concentrations of reactants and products.
27
MediumMCQ
In the reversible reaction,a catalyst is the substance which:
A
Increases the rate of the forward reaction
B
Decreases the value of enthalpy change in the reaction
C
Reduces the time required for reaching the equilibrium state in the reaction
D

Solution

(C) catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of both the forward and backward reactions to the same extent by lowering the activation energy.
Consequently,it helps the system reach the equilibrium state in a shorter amount of time without altering the position of the equilibrium or the enthalpy change of the reaction.
Therefore,the correct option is $C$.
28
MediumMCQ
Addition of a catalyst in a system at equilibrium:
A
Increases equilibrium concentrations
B
Has no effect on equilibrium concentrations
C
Decreases equilibrium concentrations
D
Increases the rate of the forward reaction and decreases the rate of the backward reaction

Solution

(B) catalyst provides an alternative reaction pathway with a lower activation energy. It increases the rate of both the forward and backward reactions to the same extent. Therefore,it does not change the position of the equilibrium or the equilibrium concentrations of the reactants and products. The correct option is $(B)$.
29
MediumMCQ
$A$ catalyst added to a reaction mixture:
A
Increases the equilibrium constant
B
Decreases the equilibrium constant
C
Does not change the equilibrium constant
D
None of these

Solution

(C) catalyst provides an alternative reaction pathway with a lower activation energy,which increases the rate of both the forward and backward reactions equally. Therefore,it does not change the equilibrium constant $(K_{eq})$ of the reaction.
30
EasyMCQ
For the equilibrium process $H_2O_{(\ell)} \rightleftharpoons H_2O_{(g)}$ at $1 \, \text{atm}$ and $373 \, K$,which of the following is true?
A
Standard free energy change is zero $(\Delta G^o = 0)$
B
Free energy change is zero $(\Delta G = 0)$
C
Free energy change is less than zero $(\Delta G < 0)$
D
Free energy change is greater than zero $(\Delta G > 0)$

Solution

(B) At equilibrium,the Gibbs free energy change of the system is zero.
Therefore,for the process $H_2O_{(\ell)} \rightleftharpoons H_2O_{(g)}$ at its boiling point ($373 \, K$ and $1 \, \text{atm}$),the condition is $\Delta G = 0$.
31
EasyMCQ
For the process $H_2O_{(s)} \rightleftharpoons H_2O_{(l)}$ at $0^{\circ}C$ and $1 \ atm$ pressure,which of the following is true?
A
$\Delta H > T\Delta S$
B
$\Delta H = T\Delta S$
C
$\Delta H = \Delta G$
D
$\Delta H < T\Delta S$

Solution

(B) At $0^{\circ}C$ and $1 \ atm$ pressure,ice and water are in equilibrium.
For a process at equilibrium,the change in Gibbs free energy is $\Delta G = 0$.
We know the relation $\Delta G = \Delta H - T\Delta S$.
Substituting $\Delta G = 0$,we get $0 = \Delta H - T\Delta S$,which implies $\Delta H = T\Delta S$.
32
EasyMCQ
In a chemical reaction,equilibrium is established only when...
A
Opposite reactions occur.
B
The concentrations of reactants and products become constant.
C
The rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the backward reaction.
D
The temperature of the reaction remains constant throughout.

Solution

(C) Chemical equilibrium is a state in a reversible reaction where the rate of the forward reaction becomes equal to the rate of the backward reaction. At this point,the concentrations of reactants and products no longer change with time,meaning they become constant. Therefore,the most accurate definition of the establishment of equilibrium is when the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the backward reaction.
33
EasyMCQ
Which of the following statements is correct regarding the equilibrium constant $(K)$?
A
The equilibrium constant of a reaction changes with temperature.
B
The equilibrium constant depends on the initial concentration of the reactants.
C
The equilibrium constant for the reaction $3Fe_{(s)} + 4H_2O_{(g)} \rightleftharpoons Fe_3O_{4_{(s)}} + 4H_{2_{(g)}}$ is the same whether the reaction is carried out in an open or closed vessel.
D
If the reaction is multiplied by $2$,the equilibrium constant becomes double.

Solution

(A) $1$. The equilibrium constant $(K)$ is a function of temperature only for a given reaction. It changes when the temperature changes.
$2$. It is independent of the initial concentrations of the reactants or products.
$3$. For the reaction $3Fe_{(s)} + 4H_2O_{(g)} \rightleftharpoons Fe_3O_{4_{(s)}} + 4H_{2_{(g)}}$,the equilibrium constant expression is $K_c = \frac{[H_2]^4}{[H_2O]^4}$. This reaction involves gases and solids. In an open vessel,the gaseous products escape,preventing equilibrium from being established. Therefore,the equilibrium constant is only defined for a closed system.
$4$. If a reaction is multiplied by a factor $n$,the new equilibrium constant becomes $K^n$. Thus,if multiplied by $2$,it becomes $K^2$,not $2K$.
34

A
Decreases
B
Increases
C
Remains constant
D
First increases then decreases

Solution

37
EasyMCQ
In the chemical equilibrium of a reversible reaction,which of the following does not cause any change?
A
Pressure
B
Catalyst
C
Concentration of reactants
D
Temperature

Solution

(B) catalyst provides an alternative reaction pathway with a lower activation energy.
It increases the rate of both the forward and backward reactions to the same extent.
Therefore,it does not affect the position of the equilibrium or the equilibrium constant $(K_{eq})$.
38
EasyMCQ
For the reaction $N_{2(g)} + O_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2NO_{(g)}$ at $2000 \ K$,the equilibrium constant is $4 \times 10^4$. If the equilibrium is reached $10$ times faster in the presence of a catalyst at the same temperature,the value of the equilibrium constant in the presence of the catalyst will be .......
A
$40 \times 10^{-4}$
B
$4 \times 10^{-4}$
C
$4 \times 10^4$
D
None of these

Solution

(C) The equilibrium constant $(K_c)$ of a chemical reaction depends only on the temperature of the system.
It is independent of the presence of a catalyst.
$A$ catalyst only increases the rate of both the forward and backward reactions equally,thereby allowing the system to reach equilibrium faster without changing the position of the equilibrium or the value of the equilibrium constant.
Therefore,the equilibrium constant remains $4 \times 10^4$.
39
EasyMCQ
For any reversible reaction,if the concentration of the reactant increases,what is the effect on the equilibrium constant?
A
Depends on the value of concentration
B
Does not change
C
Decreases
D
Increases

Solution

(B) The equilibrium constant ($K_c$ or $K_p$) is a characteristic property of a reversible reaction at a given temperature.
It depends only on the temperature and is independent of the initial concentrations of reactants or products,pressure,or the presence of a catalyst.
Therefore,changing the concentration of the reactant does not change the value of the equilibrium constant.
40
EasyMCQ

A
increase
B
decrease
C
remain unchanged
D
cannot be predicted

Solution

(C) The equilibrium constant ($K_p$ or $K_c$) of a chemical reaction depends only on the temperature of the system.
Since the temperature is kept constant,the equilibrium constant will remain unchanged.
Adding an inert gas like $He$ at constant pressure causes the volume of the system to increase,which may shift the equilibrium position,but it does not affect the value of the equilibrium constant itself.
41
EasyMCQ

$64$
D
$128$

Solution

(C) The equilibrium constant $(K_c)$ for a given reaction depends only on the temperature of the system.
It is independent of the initial concentrations,pressure,or the volume of the reaction container.
Since the temperature remains constant,changing the volume of the container does not affect the value of the equilibrium constant.
Therefore,the equilibrium constant remains $64$.
42
EasyMCQ
$A$ reversible reaction involving two reactants is at equilibrium. If the concentration of the reactants is doubled,the equilibrium constant will ......
A
become double
B
become one-fourth
C
become half
D
remain constant

Solution

(D) The equilibrium constant $(K_c)$ for a reversible reaction is a function of temperature only.
It does not depend on the initial concentrations of the reactants or products,pressure,or the presence of a catalyst.
Therefore,if the concentration of the reactants is doubled at a constant temperature,the equilibrium constant $(K_c)$ will remain constant.
43
MediumMCQ
At what change in Gibbs free energy $(\Delta G)$ does a reaction reach equilibrium?
A
Positive or large
B
Zero
C
Negative or large
D
Negative or small

Solution

(B) The Gibbs free energy change $(\Delta G)$ determines the spontaneity of a reaction:
$1$. If $\Delta G < 0$,the reaction is spontaneous.
$2$. If $\Delta G > 0$,the reaction is non-spontaneous.
$3$. If $\Delta G = 0$,the reaction is at equilibrium.
44
EasyMCQ
When pure ammonia is placed in a vessel at constant temperature,at equilibrium:
A
$K_p$ does not change with pressure.
B
The degree of dissociation does not change with pressure.
C
The concentration of $NH_3$ does not change with pressure.
D
$K_c$ changes with pressure.

Solution

(A) For the dissociation of ammonia: $2NH_3(g) \rightleftharpoons N_2(g) + 3H_2(g)$.
At constant temperature,the equilibrium constant ($K_p$ or $K_c$) depends only on temperature and remains constant regardless of changes in pressure or concentration.
Therefore,$K_p$ does not change with pressure.

C
The conversion of $x$ to $y$ is only $50\%$.
D
The rate of change of $x$ to $y$ is equal to the rate of change of $y$ to $x$ in the system.

Solution

(D) Chemical equilibrium is a state in a reversible reaction where the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the backward reaction.
For the reaction $x \rightleftharpoons y$,equilibrium is attained when the rate of conversion of $x$ to $y$ (forward rate) is equal to the rate of conversion of $y$ to $x$ (backward rate).
At this point,the concentrations of reactants and products remain constant over time.
46
EasyMCQ
For the reaction $A + B \rightleftharpoons C + D$,the equilibrium constant is $K$. If the initial moles of $A$ and $B$ are $1.0 \ mol$ each,what will be the value of the equilibrium constant in a second experiment under the same conditions if the initial moles of $A$ and $B$ are $2 \ mol$ and $3 \ mol$ respectively?
A
$K/2$
B
$K$
C
$K^2$
D
$1/K$

Solution

(B) The equilibrium constant $(K)$ for a given chemical reaction depends only on the temperature of the system.
It is independent of the initial concentrations of the reactants or products.
Since the temperature remains constant in both experiments,the value of the equilibrium constant will remain the same,i.e.,$K$.

Which of the following nitrogen oxides is the most stable?
A
$2NO_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons N_{2(g)} + 2O_{2(g)}; \, K = 6.7 \times 10^{16} \, mol \, L^{-1}$
B
$2NO_{(g)} \rightleftharpoons N_{2(g)} + O_{2(g)}; \, K = 2.2 \times 10^{30} \, mol \, L^{-1}$
C
$2N_2O_{5(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2N_{2(g)} + 5O_{2(g)}; \, K = 1.2 \times 10^{34} \, mol \, L^{-5}$
D
$2N_2O_{(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2N_{2(g)} + O_{2(g)}; \, K = 3.5 \times 10^{33} \, mol \, L^{-1}$

Solution

(A) The stability of a compound is inversely proportional to the equilibrium constant $(K)$ of its decomposition reaction.
$A$ smaller value of $K$ indicates that the reaction proceeds less towards the product side,meaning the reactant is more stable.
Comparing the given equilibrium constants:
$K_A = 6.7 \times 10^{16}$
$K_B = 2.2 \times 10^{30}$
$K_C = 1.2 \times 10^{34}$
$K_D = 3.5 \times 10^{33}$
Since $K_A$ is the smallest,the oxide $NO_2$ is the most stable among the given options.

MediumMCQ
For a reversible reaction involving two reactants,if the concentration of the reactants is doubled,the equilibrium constant will:
A
Double
B
Become half
C
Become one-fourth
D
Remain the same

Solution

(D) The equilibrium constant $(K_c)$ for a reversible reaction is a function of temperature only. It does not depend on the initial concentrations of the reactants or products,the presence of a catalyst,or the pressure of the system. Therefore,if the concentration of the reactants is doubled,the equilibrium constant $(K_c)$ will remain the same.
