Question 11 Mark
Write an expression for equilibrium constant with respect to concerntration.
Answer
For a reversible chemical reaction at equilibrium, $a A+b B \rightleftharpoons c D$ $+\ dD$
Equilibrium constant $\left( K _{ c }\right)=\frac{[C]^{ c }[ D ]^{ d }}{[ A ]^{ a }[ B ]^{ b }}$

Question 31 Mark
What is the effect of adding chloride on the position of the equilibrium ?
$AgCl _{( s )} \rightleftharpoons Ag _{( aq )}^{+}+ Cl _{( aq )}^{-}$
Answer
Addition of Cl ion will favour the reverse reaction, (that is, equilibrium shift from right to left) This increases the amount of AgCl.

Question 81 Mark
Consider an esterification reaction:
Image
What will happen if $H+$ ions are added to the reaction mixture?
Answer
$H^+$ ions act as catalyst in the esterification reaction. Hence, the addition of $H^+ $ ions reduces the time for the completion of reaction.

Question 91 Mark
By using Le Chatelier's principle, explain the effect of change in pressure for the following equilibrium:
$H _{2( g )}+ I _{2( g )} \rightleftharpoons 2 HI _{( g )}$
Answer
As there is the same number of molecules of gas on both sides, change of pressure has no effect on the equilibrium.

Question 101 Mark
Write KP expression for the reaction:
$a A_{(g)}+b B_{(g)} \rightleftharpoons c C_{(g)}+d D_{(g)}$
Answer
For the given reaction,
$K _{ p }=\frac{\left(P_c\right)^c\left(P_D\right)^d}{\left(P_A\right)^a\left(P_B\right)^b}$

Question 121 Mark
Give an example of solid-liquid equilibrium.
Answer
A mixture of ice and water in a perfectly insulated thermos flask at 273 $K$ is an example of solid-liquid equilibrium.

Question 131 Mark
Why was calcium oxide used in theatre lighting?
Answer
Calcium oxide (CaO) on strong heating glows with a bright white light. Hence, CaO was used in theatre lighting, which gave rise to the phrase ‘in the limelight’.
