Objective Type Questions (More than one options are correct)

1. The following reaction attains equilibrium at high temperature

N2(g) + 2H2O (g) + heat 2NO (g) + 2H2 (g)

The concentration of NO(g) is affected by

(1) Increasing the nitrogen concentration (2) Decreasing the hydrogen concentration

(3) Compressing the reaction mixture (4) Addition of catalyst

Sol. Answer (1, 2, 3)



N2 (g)  2H2O(g)  heat 
 2NO(g)  2H2 (g)
According to Le-chatelier’s principle in above equation

On in increase in concentration of N2, reaction will be forward and more NO will be formed and on decreasing
concentration of H2, reaction will move in forward direction.

2. For the reaction PCl5 (g) PCl3 (g) + Cl2 (g), the forward reaction at constant temperature is favoured by

(1) Introducing an inert gas at constant volume (2) Introducing Cl2(g) at constant volume

(3) Increasing the volume of the container (4) Introducing PCl5 at constant volume

Sol. Answer (3, 4)

On increase in volume at constant temperature, pressure decreases and on decreases in pressure, reaction
always shifts in the direction where more number of moles are present.

In the following reaction



 PCl3 (g)  Cl2 (g)
PCl5 (g) 
On increase in volume, reaction will proceed in forward direction.
And on increase in concentration of PCl5, reaction will proceeds in forward direction.

Pure water is neutral in nature [H+] = [OH–]. When this condition is disturbed by changing the concentration of H+
or OH–, the neutral solution changes to acidic {[H+] > [OH–]} or basic {[H+] < [OH–]}. This change occurs during
salt hydrolysis. pH of salt solution can be calculated using the following relation

When 100 mL of 1.0 M HCl was mixed with 100 mL of 1.0 M NaOH in an insulated beaker at constant pressure, a
temperature increase of 5.7 °C was measured for the beaker and its contents (Expt. 1). Because the enthalpy of
neutralization of a strong acid with a strong base is a constant (–57.0 kJ mol–1), this experiment could be used to
measure the calorimeter constant. In a second experiment (Expt. 2), 100 mL of 2.0 M acetic acid (Ka = 2.0 × 10–5)
was mixed with 100 mL of 1.0 M NaOH (under identical conditions to Expt. 1) where a temperature rise of 5.6 °C was
measured. (Consider heat capacity of all solutions as 4.2 J g–1 K–1 and density of all solutions as 1.0 g mL–1)

1. Enthalpy of dissociation (in kJ mol–1) of acetic acid obtained from the Expt.2 is

(1) 1.0 (2) 10.0 (3) 24.5 (4) 51.4


Sol. Answer (1)
Exp-I
Energy released = 5.7 kJ
Heat absorber by temperature rise = 200 × 4.2 × 5.7 = 2 × 42 × 57 = 4.788 kJ
Calorimetric constant = 5.7 – 4.788 = 0.912 J
Exp-II
Q = 200 × 4.2 × 5.6 = 4.704 kJ
Net energy = 4.704 + 0.912 = 5.616 kJ
Per mole of neutralization energy released = 56.16 kJ

Dissociation energy = 57 – 56.16 = 0.84 kJ  1kJ

Thermal decomposition of gaseous X2 to gaseous X at 298 K takes place according to the following equation:



X2(g) 
 2X(g)
The standard reaction Gibbs energy, rG°, of this reaction is positive. At the start of the reaction, there is one mole
of X2 and no X. As thereaction proceeds, the number of moles of X formed is given by . Thus, equilibrium is the
number of moles of X formed at equilibrium. The reaction is carried out at a constant total pressure of 2 bar. Consider
the gases to behave ideally. (Given : R = 0.083 L bar K–1 mol–1) [JEE(Advanced)-2016]

2. The INCORRECT statement among the following, for this reaction, is
(1) Decrease in the total pressure will result in formation of more moles of gaseous X
(2) At the start of the reaction, dissociation of gaseous X2 takes place spontaneously
(3) equilibrium = 0.7
(4) KC < 1
Sol. Answer (3)
Since, G°, is positive
It means Kp < 1.
Kp = –2.303 RT log Kp.
So, eqbm = 0.7

Kp = >1 Hence eqbm  0.7
