Question

For the reaction A(g)B(g)+C(g),Kp at 400C is 1.5×104 and Kp at 600C is 6×103. Then, which of the following statements is incorrect?
  1. The reaction is an exothermic one.
  2. An increase in temperature increases the formation of B.
  3. An increase in pressure increase the formation of A.
  4. A decrease in temperature and increase in pressure shifts the equilibrium towards left.

A
A decrease in temperature and increase in pressure shifts the equilibrium towards left.
B
An increase in temperature increases the formation of B.
C
An increase in pressure increase the formation of A.
D
The reaction is an exothermic one.
Solution
Verified by Toppr

As the temperature increases from 400oC to 600oC, the value of the equilibrium constant increases from 1.5×104 to 6×103. This indicates that the reaction is endothermic so that with an increase in temperature, the equilibrium shifts to right, heat is absorbed which nullifies the effect of the increased temperature.

In an endothermic reaction, an increase in pressure shifts the equilibrium towards less mole of gas. So, in the given reaction when pressure is increased the formation of A increases.

Q2
Consider the following statements:
(I) An increase in pressure (caused by decrease in volume) at equilibrium results in increase in molar concentration of each gaseous substance involved.
(II) An increase in pressure (caused by decrease in volume) at equilibrium results in increase in no. of moles of each gaseous substance involved.
(III) For the reaction A(s)B(g)+C(g) at constant temperature, total pressure at equilibrium (of B(g) & C(g)) is not affected by changing the volume of container.
(IV) H2O(l)H2O(g) on temperature increase, Kp of this reaction is increased.

Q5
Assertion :For the reaction A(g)B(g)+C(g),Kp=1atm. If we start with equal moles of all gases at 9 atm of initial pressure, then at equilibrium partial pressure of A increases. Reason: Reaction quotient Qp>Kp hence equilibrium shifts in a backward direction.
