SOLUTION

Solution : C

Correct option is c). Considering the backward reaction we have,
2SO32SO2+O2KP=1/900 atmInitial pressure1 atm02 atmPressure at equilibrium1xx2+x/2

Let partial pressure of SO2= p1and partial pressure of O2= p2and partial pressure of SO3=p3
K<p = (p1)2× (p2)/ (p3)2=x2 (2+x/2)/ (1x)2=1/900
AsKpfor this reaction is very small, x << 1.
Taking 2+x/2 as x and (1x) as x and solving for x, we get
X = 0.0236
Hence, at equilibrium, partial pressure of SO3= 1X=0.9764atm,
Partial pressure of SO2= x = 0.0236atm
And Partial pressure of O2= 2+x/2=2.0118atm

A. same as that of NH4Cl
B. double than that of NH4Cl
C. half than that of NH4Cl
D. slightly less than that of NH4Cl

SOLUTION

Solution : A


On dissolution of NH4Cl into NH3+HCl number of moles become double. Hence, volume is doubled and therefore, density is halved.
