Option 2: K = 2.2 × 1030
Option 3: K = 1.2 × 1034
Option 4: K = 3.5 × 1033

⇒ ΔH = –ve ⇒ Exothermic reaction

17) Solution :
Assertion :- False, because Keq does not depend on concentration.
Reason :- True
∵ At equilibrium ⇒ [reactant] ↑ ⇒ reaction shifts in forward direction.
Final Answer : 4

18) For endothermic, Temperature Keq


For exothermic, Temperature Keq ↓

19) Given:
Original reaction:
N2 +O2 2NO with Kc = 4 ×10-4
Target reaction:
NO 1/2 N2 + 1/2 O2
This is the reverse of the original reaction, and also the stoichiometry is halved
Explanation :
Rules for modifying equilibrium constants:
• Reversing a reaction take reciprocal of Kc
• Multiplying the reaction by a factor (e.g.. %) raise Kc to the power of that factor
So:
• Reverse: Kc becomes 1 / (4 × 10– 4) = 2.5 × 103
• Then take square root (because of 1/2):

Answer
4. 50.0
The value of Kc for the given reaction is 50.0

The correct option is A 2%
2H2S(g) = 2H2(g) + S2(g)
(Initially) 0.1 0 0

(At equilibrium) 0.1-x x

Since x is small because KC = 10–6


So
0.1 – 2x = 0.1
Since, 'x' is small because KC =

∴ or,
This is degree of dissociation for 0.1 mol
∴ Degree of dissociation for 1 mol = 10 x (2x )=2x
Hence, % dissociation = 2 x x 100 = 2
Final Answer: option (2)

23)

Solution
Reaction: (exothermic)
• Increasing temperature → shifts equilibrium backward (more )
• Decreasing pressure → increases total moles (shifts backward)
• Removing shifts backward to form more reactants

All these actions shift equilibrium backward, increasing moles.

Solution:
(1) N2 + O2 2NO → 2 moles → 2 moles → no change
(2) H2 + I2 2HI → 2 → 2 no change
(3) PCl5 PCl3 + Cl2 → 1 → 2 moles → forward favored at low P
(4) N2 + 3H2 2NH3 → 4 → 2 → backward favored at low P
Final answer: option (3)

When pressure decreases reaction moves towards more number of moles.

26) On increasing P, Eq shifts towards lesser No. of moles & for Endothermic reaction, T↑,
Keq ↑ forward shift.

27) It is due to intermolecular H-bonding.

A: Question Explanation
Find total pressure at equilibrium for PCl₃(g) + Cl₂(g) ⇌ PCl₅(g) when an equimolar mixture at
10 atm undergoes 20% conversion to product.

B: Concept
Partial-pressure change using percent conversion (degree of dissociation).

C: SOLUTION

Given: total initial P = 10 atm, equimolar of each so initial pressure is same i-e P₀(PCl₃) = P₀(Cl₂) =
5.0 atm
20% conversion ⇒ each reactant decreases by 20% of 5 atm = 1.0 atm.
PCl3(g) + Cl2(g) ⇌ PCl5(g)

t=0 5 atm 5atm 0atm

t=Eq 4atm 4atm 1atm

P total = 4 + 4 + 1 = 9 atm

45) Explain the question : We need to find number of total moles at equilibrium for given
reaction if %α and initial moles of PCl5 is given.
Concept : This question is based on degree of dissociation.
Solution :

%∝ = 30% ⇒ ⇒ x = 0.3
Total moles at equilibrium = 1 – x + x + x
