A
$1/4$
B
$1/2$
C
$1$
D
$4$

Solution

(C) The reaction is $A + B \rightleftharpoons C + D$.

$2$ moles of $PCl_5$ were heated in a closed vessel of $2 \ L$ capacity. At equilibrium,$40\%$ of $PCl_5$ is dissociated into $PCl_3$ and $Cl_2$. The value of equilibrium constant is
A
$0.266$
B
$0.53$
C
$2.66$
D
$5.3$

Solution

(A) The dissociation reaction is: $PCl_5(g) \rightleftharpoons PCl_3(g) + Cl_2(g)$
Initial moles: $2$,$0$,$0$
Degree of dissociation $\alpha = 0.40$.
Moles at equilibrium:
$PCl_5 = 2(1 - 0.4) = 1.2 \ mol$
$PCl_3 = 2 \times 0.4 = 0.8 \ mol$
$Cl_2 = 2 \times 0.4 = 0.8 \ mol$
Concentrations at equilibrium (Volume $= 2 \ L$):
$[PCl_5] = \frac{1.2}{2} = 0.6 \ M$
$[PCl_3] = \frac{0.8}{2} = 0.4 \ M$
$[Cl_2] = \frac{0.8}{2} = 0.4 \ M$
Equilibrium constant $K_c = \frac{[PCl_3][Cl_2]}{[PCl_5]} = \frac{0.4 \times 0.4}{0.6} = \frac{0.16}{0.6} = 0.266$.

The unit of the equilibrium constant $K_c$ is given by $(mol \ L^{-1})^{\Delta n}$.
Substituting $\Delta n = 0$,we get $(mol \ L^{-1})^0 = 1$.
Therefore,the equilibrium constant is dimensionless for this reaction.
Thus,the correct option is $D$.

Equilibrium concentrations are:
$[PCl_5] = \frac{0.1 \ mol}{10 \ L} = 0.01 \ M$
$[PCl_3] = \frac{0.2 \ mol}{10 \ L} = 0.02 \ M$

$A$ reaction is $A + B \rightleftharpoons C + D$. Initially,we start with equal concentrations of $A$ and $B$. At equilibrium,the number of moles of $C$ is two times that of $A$. What is the equilibrium constant $(K_c)$ of the reaction?
A
$4$
B
$2$
C
$0.25$
D
$0.5$

Solution

(A) Let the initial concentration of $A$ and $B$ be $x \ mol/L$.
Reaction: $A + B \rightleftharpoons C + D$
Initial: $x, x, 0, 0$
At equilibrium: $(x-y), (x-y), y, y$
Given that at equilibrium,the concentration of $C$ is twice that of $A$: $y = 2(x-y)$
$y = 2x - 2y \implies 3y = 2x \implies y = \frac{2}{3}x$
Equilibrium concentrations:
$[A] = x - \frac{2}{3}x = \frac{1}{3}x$
$[B] = x - \frac{2}{3}x = \frac{1}{3}x$
$[C] = y = \frac{2}{3}x$
$[D] = y = \frac{2}{3}x$
$K_c = \frac{[C][D]}{[A][B]} = \frac{(\frac{2}{3}x)(\frac{2}{3}x)}{(\frac{1}{3}x)(\frac{1}{3}x)} = \frac{4/9}{1/9} = 4$

Initial moles: $4.5 \ mol$ of ${H_2}$ and $4.5 \ mol$ of ${I_2}$ are taken in a $10 \ L$ vessel.
Let $x$ be the extent of reaction such that at equilibrium,moles of $HI$ formed is $2x$.
Given $2x = 3$,so $x = 1.5 \ mol$.
Equilibrium moles:
${H_2} = 4.5 - 1.5 = 3.0 \ mol$
${I_2} = 4.5 - 1.5 = 3.0 \ mol$
$HI = 3.0 \ mol$
Equilibrium concentrations (moles / $10 \ L$):
$[H_2] = 3.0 / 10 = 0.3 \ M$
$[I_2] = 3.0 / 10 = 0.3 \ M$
$[HI] = 3.0 / 10 = 0.3 \ M$
Equilibrium constant ${K_c} = \frac{{[HI]}^2}{[H_2][I_2]} = \frac{(0.3)^2}{(0.3)(0.3)} = 1$.

$[H_2S] = 0.5 mol L^{-1}$
$[H_2] = 0.10 mol L^{-1}$
$[S_2] = 0.4 mol L^{-1}$
The expression for the equilibrium constant $K_c$ is:
$K_c = \frac{[H_2]^2 [S_2]}{[H_2S]^2}$
Substituting the values:
$K_c = \frac{(0.10)^2 \times (0.4)}{(0.5)^2} = \frac{0.01 \times 0.4}{0.25} = \frac{0.004}{0.25} = 0.016 mol L^{-1}$.

A
$0.00358$
B
$0.0358$
C
$0.358$
D

Solution

(C) The equilibrium constant expression for the reaction $N_2 + 3H_2 \rightleftharpoons 2NH_3$ is given by:
$K_c = \frac{[NH_3]^2}{[N_2][H_2]^3}$
Given $K_c = 2.37 \times 10^{-3}$,$[N_2] = 2 \ M$,and $[H_2] = 3 \ M$.
Substituting these values into the expression:
$2.37 \times 10^{-3} = \frac{[NH_3]^2}{(2)(3)^3}$
$2.37 \times 10^{-3} = \frac{[NH_3]^2}{2 \times 27}$
$2.37 \times 10^{-3} = \frac{[NH_3]^2}{54}$
$[NH_3]^2 = 2.37 \times 10^{-3} \times 54 = 0.12798$
$[NH_3] = \sqrt{0.12798} \approx 0.358 \ M$

At equilibrium,the concentrations are given as $[A] = 0.20 \ mol \ L^{-1}$,$[B] = 0.20 \ mol \ L^{-1}$,and $[C] = 0.60 \ mol \ L^{-1}$.
The expression for the equilibrium constant $K_c$ is $K_c = \frac{[C]^2}{[A][B]}$.
Substituting the given values: $K_c = \frac{(0.60)^2}{(0.20)(0.20)} = \frac{0.36}{0.04} = 9$.
Thus,the equilibrium constant is $9$.

A
$50$
B
$15$
C
$100$
D
$25$

Solution

(A) The chemical equation for the reaction is: $H_2(g) + I_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2HI(g)$
Initial moles:
$H_2 = 15$,$I_2 = 5.2$,$HI = 0$
At equilibrium,the moles of $HI$ formed is $10$. According to the stoichiometry,$2$ moles of $HI$ are formed from $1$ mole of $H_2$ and $1$ mole of $I_2$. Therefore,$5$ moles of $H_2$ and $5$ moles of $I_2$ are consumed.
Equilibrium moles:
$H_2 = 15 - 5 = 10$
$I_2 = 5.2 - 5 = 0.2$
$HI = 10$
The equilibrium constant $K_C$ is given by:
$K_C = \frac{[HI]^2}{[H_2][I_2]} = \frac{10^2}{10 \times 0.2} = \frac{100}{2} = 50$

The rate of forward reaction is two times that of reverse reaction at a given temperature and identical concentration. $K_{equilibrium}$ is
A
$2.5$
B
$2$
C
$0.5$
D
$1.5$

Solution

(B) For a reversible reaction $A \rightleftharpoons B$,the rate of forward reaction is $r_f = k_f[A]$ and the rate of reverse reaction is $r_b = k_b[B]$.
Given that at identical concentrations,the rate of forward reaction is two times the rate of reverse reaction,we have $r_f = 2r_b$.
Substituting the rate expressions: $k_f[A] = 2k_b[B]$.
Since the concentrations are identical,$[A] = [B]$,which implies $k_f = 2k_b$.
The equilibrium constant $K_{eq}$ is defined as the ratio of the rate constants: $K_{eq} = \frac{k_f}{k_b} = \frac{2}{1} = 2$.

Two moles of $NH_3$ when put into a previously evacuated vessel $(1 \ L)$,partially dissociate into $N_2$ and $H_2$. If at equilibrium one mole of $NH_3$ is present,the equilibrium constant is
A
$3/4 \ mol^2 \ L^{-2}$
B
$27/64 \ mol^2 \ L^{-2}$
C
$27/32 \ mol^2 \ L^{-2}$
D
$27/16 \ mol^2 \ L^{-2}$

Solution

(D) The balanced chemical equation is: $2NH_3(g) \rightleftharpoons N_2(g) + 3H_2(g)$
Initially,$2 \ mol$ of $NH_3$ are present in a $1 \ L$ vessel.
At equilibrium,$1 \ mol$ of $NH_3$ remains,meaning $1 \ mol$ has dissociated.
According to the stoichiometry,$2 \ mol$ of $NH_3$ produce $1 \ mol$ of $N_2$ and $3 \ mol$ of $H_2$.
Therefore,$1 \ mol$ of $NH_3$ dissociation produces $0.5 \ mol$ of $N_2$ and $1.5 \ mol$ of $H_2$.
The equilibrium concentrations are: $[NH_3] = 1 \ mol/L$,$[N_2] = 0.5 \ mol/L$,and $[H_2] = 1.5 \ mol/L$.
The equilibrium constant $K_c$ is given by: $K_c = \frac{[N_2][H_2]^3}{[NH_3]^2} = \frac{0.5 \times (1.5)^3}{1^2} = 0.5 \times 3.375 = 1.6875 = \frac{27}{16} \ mol^2 \ L^{-2}$.

In the reaction $PCl_{5(g)} \rightleftharpoons PCl_{3(g)} + Cl_{2(g)}$,the equilibrium concentrations of $PCl_5$ and $PCl_3$ are $0.4 \ mol/L$ and $0.2 \ mol/L$ respectively. If the value of $K_c$ is $0.5$,what is the concentration of $Cl_2$ in $mol/L$?
A
$2$
B
$1.5$
C
$1$
D
$0.5$

Solution

(C) The equilibrium constant expression for the reaction is $K_c = \frac{[PCl_3][Cl_2]}{[PCl_5]}$.
Given that $[PCl_5] = 0.4 \ mol/L$,$[PCl_3] = 0.2 \ mol/L$,and $K_c = 0.5$.
Let the concentration of $Cl_2$ be $x \ mol/L$.
Substituting the values into the expression: $0.5 = \frac{0.2 \times x}{0.4}$.
Solving for $x$: $x = \frac{0.5 \times 0.4}{0.2} = \frac{0.2}{0.2} = 1 \ mol/L$.

For the reaction equilibrium $N_2O_4(g) \rightleftharpoons 2NO_2(g)$,the concentrations of $N_2O_4$ and $NO_2$ at equilibrium are $4.8 \times 10^{-2} \ mol \ L^{-1}$ and $1.2 \times 10^{-2} \ mol \ L^{-1}$ respectively. The value of $K_c$ for the reaction is:
A
$3.3 \times 10^2 \ mol \ L^{-1}$
B
$3 \times 10^{-1} \ mol \ L^{-1}$
C
$3 \times 10^{-3} \ mol \ L^{-1}$
D
$3 \times 10^3 \ mol \ L^{-1}$

Solution

(C) The equilibrium constant $K_c$ for the reaction $N_2O_4(g) \rightleftharpoons 2NO_2(g)$ is given by the expression:
$K_c = \frac{[NO_2]^2}{[N_2O_4]}$
Given:
$[NO_2] = 1.2 \times 10^{-2} \ mol \ L^{-1}$
$[N_2O_4] = 4.8 \times 10^{-2} \ mol \ L^{-1}$
Substituting the values:
$K_c = \frac{(1.2 \times 10^{-2})^2}{4.8 \times 10^{-2}} = \frac{1.44 \times 10^{-4}}{4.8 \times 10^{-2}}$
$K_c = 0.3 \times 10^{-2} = 3 \times 10^{-3} \ mol \ L^{-1}$

The compounds $A$ and $B$ are mixed in equimolar proportion to form the products,$A + B \rightleftharpoons C + D$. At equilibrium,one-third of $A$ and $B$ are consumed. The equilibrium constant for the reaction is:
A
$0.5$
B
$4$
C
$2.5$
D
$0.25$

Solution

(D) Let the initial concentration of $A$ and $B$ be $1 \ M$ each.
At equilibrium,one-third of $A$ and $B$ are consumed,so $[A] = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3 \ M$ and $[B] = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3 \ M$.
Since the stoichiometry is $1:1$,the concentration of products formed is $[C] = 1/3 \ M$ and $[D] = 1/3 \ M$.
The equilibrium constant $K$ is given by $K = \frac{[C][D]}{[A][B]}$.
Substituting the values: $K = \frac{(1/3) \times (1/3)}{(2/3) \times (2/3)} = \frac{1/9}{4/9} = 1/4 = 0.25$.

What is the equilibrium expression for the reaction $P_{4(s)} + 5O_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons P_4O_{10(s)}$?
A
$K_c = 1/[O_2]^5$
B
$K_c = [P_4O_{10}]/5[P_4][O_2]$
C
$K_c = [P_4O_{10}]/[P_4][O_2]^5$
D
$K_c = [O_2]^5$

Solution

(A) For the reaction $P_{4(s)} + 5O_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons P_4O_{10(s)}$,the equilibrium constant expression is given by the ratio of the product of concentrations of products to the reactants,each raised to the power of their stoichiometric coefficients.
$K_c = \frac{[P_4O_{10(s)}]}{[P_{4(s)}][O_{2(g)}]^5}$
Since $P_{4(s)}$ and $P_4O_{10(s)}$ are pure solids,their concentrations are taken as unity $(1)$.
Therefore,$K_c = \frac{1}{[O_2]^5}$.

MediumMCQ
If the equilibrium constant of the reaction $2HI \rightleftharpoons H_2 + I_2$ is $0.25$,then the equilibrium constant of the reaction $H_2 + I_2 \rightleftharpoons 2HI$ would be
A
$1$
B
$2$
C
$3$
D
$4$

Solution

(D) The equilibrium constant $K_1$ for the reaction $2HI \rightleftharpoons H_2 + I_2$ is given as $0.25$.
The second reaction $H_2 + I_2 \rightleftharpoons 2HI$ is the reverse of the first reaction.
For a reversed reaction,the new equilibrium constant $K_2$ is the reciprocal of the original equilibrium constant $K_1$.
Therefore,$K_2 = \frac{1}{K_1} = \frac{1}{0.25} = 4$.
Thus,the correct option is $(D)$.

At a given temperature,the equilibrium constant for the reaction $PCl_{5(g)} \rightleftharpoons PCl_{3(g)} + Cl_{2(g)}$ is $2.4 \times 10^{-3}$. At the same temperature,the equilibrium constant for the reaction $PCl_{3(g)} + Cl_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons PCl_{5(g)}$ is:
A
$2.4 \times 10^{-3}$
B
$-2.4 \times 10^{-3}$
C
$4.17 \times 10^{2}$
D
$4.8 \times 10^{-2}$

Solution

(C) The given reaction is $PCl_{5(g)} \rightleftharpoons PCl_{3(g)} + Cl_{2(g)}$ with equilibrium constant $K_1 = 2.4 \times 10^{-3}$.
The second reaction is the reverse of the first reaction: $PCl_{3(g)} + Cl_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons PCl_{5(g)}$.
For a reversed reaction,the new equilibrium constant $K_2 = \frac{1}{K_1}$.
$K_2 = \frac{1}{2.4 \times 10^{-3}} = \frac{1000}{2.4} \approx 4.17 \times 10^{2}$.

The equilibrium constant $K$ for the synthesis of $HI$ is $50$. The equilibrium constant $K$ for the dissociation of $HI$ is:
A
$50$
B
$5$
C
$0.2$
D
$0.02$

Solution

(D) The synthesis reaction is $H_2(g) + I_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2HI(g)$,for which $K_{c1} = 50$.
The dissociation reaction is $2HI(g) \rightleftharpoons H_2(g) + I_2(g)$.
This reaction is the reverse of the synthesis reaction.
Therefore,the equilibrium constant $K_{c2}$ for the dissociation is given by $K_{c2} = \frac{1}{K_{c1}}$.
$K_{c2} = \frac{1}{50} = 0.02$.

The equilibrium constant for the reaction $PCl_{5(g)} \to PCl_{3(g)} + Cl_{2(g)}$ is $16$. If the volume of the container is reduced to one half its original volume,the value of $K_p$ for the reaction at the same temperature will be
A
$32$
B
$64$
C
$16$
D
$4$

Solution

(C) The equilibrium constant $K_p$ is a function of temperature only for a given reaction.
Since the temperature remains constant,the value of $K_p$ will not change regardless of changes in volume,pressure,or concentration.
Therefore,the value of $K_p$ remains $16$.

EasyMCQ
For the gaseous phase reaction $2NO \rightleftharpoons N_2 + O_2$,$\Delta H^\circ = +43.5 \ kcal \ mol^{-1}$. Which statement is correct?
A
$K$ varies with addition of $NO$
B
$K$ decreases as temperature decreases
C
$K$ increases as temperature decreases
D
$K$ is independent of temperature

Solution

(B) The given reaction is $2NO \rightleftharpoons N_2 + O_2$ with $\Delta H^\circ = +43.5 \ kcal \ mol^{-1}$.
Since $\Delta H^\circ$ is positive,the reaction is endothermic.
According to the Van't Hoff equation,$\ln \frac{K_2}{K_1} = \frac{\Delta H^\circ}{R} \left( \frac{1}{T_1} - \frac{1}{T_2} \right)$.
For an endothermic reaction,as temperature decreases $(T_2 < T_1)$,the value of the equilibrium constant $K$ decreases.
Therefore,option $B$ is correct.
37
MediumMCQ
At $490\,^{\circ}C$,the equilibrium constant for the synthesis of $HI$ is $50$. The value of $K$ for the dissociation of $HI$ will be:
A
$20$
B
$2$
C
$0.2$
D
$0.02$

Solution

(D) The synthesis reaction of $HI$ is given by: $H_2(g) + I_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2HI(g)$ with equilibrium constant $K_c = 50$.
The dissociation reaction of $HI$ is the reverse of the synthesis reaction: $2HI(g) \rightleftharpoons H_2(g) + I_2(g)$.
For a reverse reaction,the new equilibrium constant $K'$ is the reciprocal of the original equilibrium constant $K$.
$K' = \frac{1}{K_c} = \frac{1}{50} = 0.02$.

MediumMCQ
For the reaction $CaCO_{3(s)} \rightleftharpoons CaO_{(s)} + CO_{2(g)}$,which of the following expressions for the equilibrium constant $K_p$ is correct?
A
$K_p = P_{CO_2}$
B
$K_p = P_{CO_2} \cdot P_{CaO}$
C
$K_p = \frac{P_{CO_2}}{P_{CaCO_3}}$
D
$K_p = \frac{P_{CaO} \cdot P_{CO_2}}{P_{CaCO_3}}$

Solution

(A) The given reaction is $CaCO_{3(s)} \rightleftharpoons CaO_{(s)} + CO_{2(g)}$.
For heterogeneous equilibria,the concentration or partial pressure of pure solids and pure liquids is taken as unity $(1)$.
Therefore,the expression for the equilibrium constant $K_p$ is given by $K_p = P_{CO_2}$.
Since $CaCO_{3(s)}$ and $CaO_{(s)}$ are solids,their active masses are considered to be $1$.

If for ${H_2(g)} + \frac{1}{2}{S_2(s)} \rightleftharpoons {H_2S(g)}$ and ${H_2(g)} + {Br_2(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2{HBr(g)}$ the equilibrium constants are $K_1$ and $K_2$ respectively,the reaction ${Br_2(g)} + {H_2S(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2{HBr(g)} + \frac{1}{2}{S_2(s)}$ would have equilibrium constant
A
${K_1} \times {K_2}$
B
${K_1}/{K_2}$
C
${K_2}/{K_1}$
D
${K_2^2}/{K_1}$

Solution

(C) Given reactions:
$(1)$ ${H_2(g)} + \frac{1}{2}{S_2(s)} \rightleftharpoons {H_2S(g)}$; ${K_1} = \frac{[{H_2S}]}{[{H_2}][{S_2}]^{1/2}}$
$(2)$ ${H_2(g)} + {Br_2(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2{HBr(g)}$; ${K_2} = \frac{[{HBr}]^2}{[{H_2}][{Br_2}]}$
Target reaction: ${Br_2(g)} + {H_2S(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2{HBr(g)} + \frac{1}{2}{S_2(s)}$
To obtain the target reaction,we perform: (Reaction $2$) - (Reaction $1$).
Equilibrium constant for the target reaction $K_3 = \frac{K_2}{K_1}$.
$K_3 = \frac{[{HBr}]^2}{[{H_2}][{Br_2}]} \times \frac{[{H_2}][{S_2}]^{1/2}}{[{H_2S}]} = \frac{[{HBr}]^2[{S_2}]^{1/2}}{[{Br_2}][{H_2S}]}$.

For the reaction $N_2 + 3H_2 \rightleftharpoons 2NH_3$,the equilibrium constant is $k$. What is the equilibrium constant for the reaction $2N_2 + 6H_2 \rightleftharpoons 4NH_3$?
A
$\sqrt{k}$
B
$k^2$
C
$k/2$
D
$\sqrt{k + 1}$

Solution

(B) For the reaction $N_2 + 3H_2 \rightleftharpoons 2NH_3$,the equilibrium constant is given by $k = \frac{[NH_3]^2}{[N_2][H_2]^3}$.
For the reaction $2N_2 + 6H_2 \rightleftharpoons 4NH_3$,the equilibrium constant $k'$ is given by $k' = \frac{[NH_3]^4}{[N_2]^2[H_2]^6}$.
Comparing the two expressions,we see that $k' = \left( \frac{[NH_3]^2}{[N_2][H_2]^3} \right)^2 = k^2$.

$A$ tenfold increase in pressure on the reaction $N_{2(g)} + 3H_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2NH_{3(g)}$ at equilibrium,makes $K_p$
A
Unchanged
B
Two times
C
Four times
D
Ten times

Solution

(A) The equilibrium constant $K_p$ is a function of temperature only for a given reaction.
It does not depend on the pressure,volume,or concentration of the reactants or products.
Therefore,a change in pressure will not affect the value of $K_p$.

If the equilibrium constant for the reaction $2AB \rightleftharpoons A_2 + B_2$ is $49$,then the equilibrium constant for the reaction $AB \rightleftharpoons \frac{1}{2}A_2 + \frac{1}{2}B_2$ will be:
A
$7$
B
$20$
C
$49$
D
$21$

Solution

(A) For the reaction $2AB \rightleftharpoons A_2 + B_2$,the equilibrium constant is given by $K_c = \frac{[A_2][B_2]}{[AB]^2} = 49$.
For the reaction $AB \rightleftharpoons \frac{1}{2}A_2 + \frac{1}{2}B_2$,the new equilibrium constant $K_c'$ is given by $K_c' = \frac{[A_2]^{1/2} [B_2]^{1/2}}{[AB]}$.
Comparing the two expressions,we see that $K_c' = \sqrt{K_c}$.
Therefore,$K_c' = \sqrt{49} = 7$.

EasyMCQ
In the equilibrium $AB \rightleftharpoons A + B$; if the equilibrium concentration of $A$ is doubled,the equilibrium concentration of $B$ would become:
A
Twice
B
Half
C
$1/4^{th}$
D
$1/8^{th}$

Solution

(B) For the equilibrium $AB \rightleftharpoons A + B$,the equilibrium constant $K_c$ is given by $K_c = \frac{[A][B]}{[AB]}$.
Assuming the concentration of $AB$ remains constant or the system adjusts to maintain $K_c$,if the concentration of $A$ is doubled $([A]' = 2[A])$,then to keep $K_c$ constant,the concentration of $B$ must change to $[B]'$ such that $[A]'[B]' = [A][B]$.
Substituting the values: $(2[A]) \times [B]' = [A] \times [B]$.
Therefore,$[B]' = \frac{[A][B]}{2[A]} = \frac{1}{2}[B]$.
Thus,the concentration of $B$ becomes half of its original value.

For the reaction $2NO_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2NO_{(g)} + O_{2(g)}$,$K_c = 1.8 \times 10^{-6}$ at $185\,^{\circ}C$. At $185\,^{\circ}C$,the value of $K_c$ for the reaction $NO_{(g)} + \frac{1}{2}O_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons NO_{2(g)}$ is
A
$0.9 \times 10^6$
B
$7.5 \times 10^2$
C
$1.95 \times 10^{-3}$
D
$1.95 \times 10^3$

Solution

(B) The given reaction is $2NO_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2NO_{(g)} + O_{2(g)}$ with $K_{c1} = 1.8 \times 10^{-6}$.
For the target reaction $NO_{(g)} + \frac{1}{2}O_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons NO_{2(g)}$,we observe that the original reaction is reversed and then multiplied by a factor of $\frac{1}{2}$.
Therefore,the new equilibrium constant $K_{c2} = \sqrt{\frac{1}{K_{c1}}}$.
$K_{c2} = \sqrt{\frac{1}{1.8 \times 10^{-6}}} = \sqrt{0.555 \times 10^6} = 0.745 \times 10^3 \approx 7.5 \times 10^2$.

One mole of a compound $AB$ reacts with one mole of a compound $CD$ according to the equation $AB + CD \rightleftharpoons AD + CB$. When equilibrium had been established,it was found that $\frac{3}{4} \ mol$ each of reactant $AB$ and $CD$ had been converted to $AD$ and $CB$. There is no change in volume. The equilibrium constant for the reaction is:
A
$\frac{9}{16}$
B
$\frac{1}{9}$
C
$\frac{16}{9}$
D
$9$

Solution

(D) The reaction is $AB + CD \rightleftharpoons AD + CB$.
At $t = 0$,the moles are $1 \ mol$ of $AB$ and $1 \ mol$ of $CD$,with $0 \ mol$ of products.
At equilibrium,$\frac{3}{4} \ mol$ of each reactant has reacted.
The moles at equilibrium are:
$n(AB) = 1 - \frac{3}{4} = \frac{1}{4} \ mol$
$n(CD) = 1 - \frac{3}{4} = \frac{1}{4} \ mol$
$n(AD) = \frac{3}{4} \ mol$
$n(CB) = \frac{3}{4} \ mol$
Since the volume $V$ is constant,the equilibrium constant $K_c$ is given by:
$K_c = \frac{[AD][CB]}{[AB][CD]} = \frac{(\frac{3/4}{V})(\frac{3/4}{V})}{(\frac{1/4}{V})(\frac{1/4}{V})} = \frac{3/4 \times 3/4}{1/4 \times 1/4} = \frac{9/16}{1/16} = 9$.

At constant temperature,the equilibrium constant $(K_p)$ for the decomposition reaction $N_2O_4 \rightleftharpoons 2NO_2$ is expressed by $K_p = \frac{4x^2P}{1 - x^2}$,where $P = \text{pressure}$,$x = \text{extent of decomposition}$. Which one of the following statements is true?
A
$K_p$ increases with increase of $P$
B
$K_p$ increases with increase of $x$
C
$K_p$ increases with decrease of $x$
D
$K_p$ remains constant with change in $P$ and $x$

Solution

(D) The equilibrium constant $(K_p)$ for a given reaction depends only on temperature.
It is independent of the initial pressure $(P)$ and the extent of decomposition $(x)$.
Therefore,$K_p$ remains constant even if $P$ or $x$ changes at a constant temperature.

The equilibrium constants for some reactions are given below:
$(1)$ $x \rightleftharpoons y ; K = 10^{-1}$
$(2)$ $y \rightleftharpoons z ; K = 2 \times 10^{-2}$
$(3)$ $p \rightleftharpoons Q ; K = 3 \times 10^{-4}$
$(4)$ $R \rightleftharpoons S ; K = 2 \times 10^{-3}$
The initial concentrations of reactants are taken to be the same for each reaction. Which of the above reactions indicate that the reaction mixture contains high concentrations of reactants and products respectively?
A
$4, 3$
B
$3, 1$
C
$1, 4$
D
$2, 3$

Solution

(B) The equilibrium constant $K$ is defined as $K = \frac{[Products]}{[Reactants]}$.
$1$. If $K$ is very small $(K < 10^{-3})$,the reaction mixture contains mostly reactants.
$2$. If $K$ is very large $(K > 10^3)$,the reaction mixture contains mostly products.
$3$. If $K$ is in the intermediate range $(10^{-3} < K < 10^3)$,the reaction mixture contains significant amounts of both reactants and products.
Comparing the given values:
$(1)$ $K = 0.1$ (Intermediate)
$(2)$ $K = 0.02$ (Intermediate)
$(3)$ $K = 0.0003$ ($3 \times 10^{-4}$,very small,mostly reactants)
$(4)$ $K = 0.002$ ($2 \times 10^{-3}$,intermediate/small)
To have high concentrations of reactants,we look for the smallest $K$ (Reaction $3$). To have high concentrations of products,we look for the largest $K$ (Reaction $1$). Thus,the pair is $(3, 1)$.

For the reaction $x \rightleftharpoons y$,which of the following factors will affect the value of $[\text{Product}] / [\text{Reactant}]^{-1}$ at equilibrium?
A
Pressure
B
Volume
C

D
Concentration

Solution

(C) The expression $[\text{Product}] / [\text{Reactant}]$ represents the equilibrium constant $K$.
Therefore,$[\text{Product}] / [\text{Reactant}]^{-1}$ is equivalent to $1/K$.
Since the value of the equilibrium constant $K$ depends only on temperature,the factor that affects the value of $K$ is temperature.

Initial moles: $[Fe^{3+}] = 3.1 \ M$,$[SCN^{-}] = 3.2 \ M$,$[FeSCN^{2+}] = 0 \ M$
At equilibrium,$[FeSCN^{2+}] = 3.0 \ M$
Change in moles: $[Fe^{3+}] = 3.1 - 3.0 = 0.1 \ M$,$[SCN^{-}] = 3.2 - 3.0 = 0.2 \ M$
Equilibrium constant $K_c = \frac{[FeSCN^{2+}]}{[Fe^{3+}][SCN^{-}]}$
$K_c = \frac{3.0}{(0.1)(0.2)} = \frac{3.0}{0.02} = 150$
