Question
Classify the following as homogeneous or heterogeneous equilibria:
  1. $2\text{SO}_2(\text{g})+\text{O}_2(\text{g})\rightleftharpoons2\text{SO}_3(\text{g})$
  2. $2\text{Mg(s)}+\text{O}_2(\text{g})\rightleftharpoons2\text{MgO(s)}$

Answer

  1. Homogeneous equilibria because all reactant and products are gases.
  2. Heterogeneous equilibria because Mg and MgC are solid whereas $\text{O}_2$ is gas.

When water is added to compound (A) of calcium, solution of compound (B) is formed. When carbon dioxide is passed into the solution, it turns milky due to the formation of compound (C). If excess of carbon dioxide is passed into the solution milkiness disappears due to the formation of compound (D). Identify the compounds A, B, C and D. Explain why the milkiness disappears in the last step.
