When sulphur ( in the form of $S _8$) is heated to temperature T, at equilibrium, the pressure of $S _8$ falls by 30% from 1.0 atm, because $S _8$(g) is partially converted into $S _2$(g). Find the value of $K _p$ for this reaction.

  1. $2.96$

  2. $6.14$

  3. $204.8$

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

                                                  ${{S} _{8}}\rightleftharpoons 4{{S} _{2}}$

Initial pressure                          $1$atm     $0$

At equilibrium pressure    $(1-0.3)$     $4\times 0.3$


Therefore, equilibrium pressure of ${{S} _{8}}=(1-0.3)=0.7$ atm

And equilibrium pressure of ${{S} _{2}}=4\times 0.3=1.2$ atm


So, equilibrium constant $Kp=\dfrac{P _{S _2}^4}{P _{S _8}}=\dfrac{{{1.2}^{4}}}{0.7}=$ approximate $2.96$ atm$^3$. 

In a dynamic equilibrium, the concentrations of reactants and products remains ___________.

chemistry chemical equilibrium equilibrium in chemical processes introduction to equilibrium chemical equilibrium and acids-bases

  1. differs with substance

  2. changes

  3. constant

  4. equilibrium

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

In chemistry, a dynamic equilibrium exists once a reversible reaction ceases to change its ratio of reactants/products, but substances move between the chemicals at an equal rate, meaning there is no net change. It is a particular example of a system in a steady state. In thermodynamics a closed system is in thermodynamic equilibrium when reactions occur at such rates that the composition of the mixture does not change with time. Reactions do in fact occur, sometimes vigorously, but to such an extent that changes in composition cannot be observed.

Hence, in a dynamic equilibrium, the concentrations of reactants and products remains constant.

At $298K$, the equilibrium constant of reaction.
${ Zn }^{ +2 }+4{ NH } _{ 3 }\rightleftharpoons { \left[ Zn{ \left( { NH } _{ 3 } \right)  } _{ 4 } \right]  }^{ +2 }$ is ${ 10 }^{ 9 }$
If ${ E } _{ { \left[ Zn{ \left( { NH } _{ 3 } \right)  } _{ 4 } \right]  }^{ +2 }/Zn+4{ NH } _{ 3 } }^{ o }=-1.03V$. The value ${ E } _{ Zn/{ Zn }^{ +2 } }$ will be:

  1. 0.7645V

  2. -1.1V

  3. +1.1V

  4. none of these

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The reaction is,

$Zn\rightarrow { Zn }^{ 2+ }+2e$
Since, given ${ { E }^{ 0 } } _{ { \left[ Zn{ \left( { NH } _{ 3 } \right)  } _{ 4 } \right]  }^{ 2+ }/Zn+4{ NH } _{ 3 } }=-1.03V$
${ K } _{ eq }={ 10 }^{ 9 }$
We know,
$E={ E }^{ 0 }+\dfrac { 0.059 }{ n } log{ K } _{ eq }$
$E=-1.03+\dfrac { 0.059 }{ 2 } \times 9$         since, the reaction is occured transfaring two electron.
$E=-0.7645V$

${ K } _{ c }$ for the reaction $A+B\overset { { K } _{ 1 } }{ \underset { { K } _{ 2 } }{ \rightleftharpoons  }  }  C+D$ , is equal to:

  1. $\dfrac {{ K } _{ 1 }}{ { K } _{ 2 }}$

  2. $K _{ 1 }{ K } _{ 2 }$

  3. $K _{ 1 }-{ K } _{ 2 }$

  4. $K _{ 1 }+{ K } _{ 2 }$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
${ K } _{ C }=$ Equilibrium constant
$A+B\overset { { K } _{ 1 } }{ \underset { { K } _{ 2 } }{ \rightleftharpoons  }  } \quad C+D$
${ K } _{ C }=\cfrac { { K } _{ 1 } }{ { K } _{ 2 } } =\cfrac { \left[ C \right] \left[ D \right]  }{ \left[ A \right] \left[ B \right]  } $
As at equilibrium,
Rate of forward reaction=rate of backward reaction
${ r } _{ f }={ r } _{ b }$
${ K } _{ 1 }\left[ A \right] \left[ B \right] ={ K } _{ 2 }\left[ C \right] \left[ D \right] $
${ K } _{ C }=\cfrac { { K } _{ 1 } }{ { K } _{ 2 } } =\cfrac { \left[ A \right] \left[ B \right]  }{ \left[ C \right] \left[ D \right]  } $
There, option $A$ is correct.
