10. a) First determine the equilibrium constant

KC for H2 + I2 2HI
[HI]2 (0.49)2
KC =   50
[H2 ][I2 ] (0.08)(0.06)
When 0.3 mol of HI are added, equilibrium is disturbed. At the instant,
[HI] = 0.49 + 0.3 = 0.79 M
(0.79)2
Q  KC, since KC =  130
(0.08)(0.06)
 backward reaction dominate and the equilibrium shifts to the left.
Let 2x = concentration of HI consumed (while going left) then concentration of
each of H2 and I2 formed = x
[HI] = 0.79 – 2x, [H2] = 0.08 + x, [I2] = 0.06 +x and KC = 50
(0.79  2x )2
 KC =  50
(0.08  x )(0.06  x )
 46x2 + 10.2x – 0.35 = 0
x = 0.033 or – 0.25 (neglecting the –ve value)
Finally, the equilibrium concentrations are:
[HI] = 0.79 – 2x =0.79 – 0.033  2 = 0.724 M
[H2] = 0.08 + x = 0.08 + 0.033 = 0.113 M
[I2] = 0.06 + x = 0.06 + 0.033 = 0.093
b) i) Total no. of moles at equilibrium = 7.6  10–3 + 6.6  10–3 = 1.42  10–2 moles
If 1.42  10–2 moles of argon have been added and the volume has been
doubled there will not be any change in no. of moles/litre at equilibrium.
Hence no effect
ii) At constant pressure the equilibrium will shift in the direction where no. of
moles are decreasing hence to the left.
iii) No effect at constant volume

1. At equilibrium number of mole of Cl2 in 3 litres is 0.15  3 i.e. 0.45.

 KC = = 0.00466, x = 0.03 M

 at equilibrium [N2O4] = 0.8 – x = 0.8 – 0.03 = 0.77 M
[NO2] = 2x = 2  0.03 = 0.06 M
Now when the volume of halved, pressure will increase. From the Le-Chatlier’s
Principle we know that the equilibrium will shift to left hand side with the increase in
pressure (or decrease in volume). Further when volume is halved, concentration will
be doubled.
Concentration of N2O4 = 0.77  2 = 1.54 M
And concentration of NO2 = 0.06  2 = 0.12 M
The equilibrium concentration now will be
N2O4 2NO2
(1.54 – y) (0.12 – 2y)
(0.12  2y )2
KC = = 0.00466, y = 0.104 and 0.017
(1.54  y )
y = 0.104 is unacceptable as in this case 2y  0.12, y = 0.017
 At new equilibrium
[N2O4] = 1.54 + 0.017 = 1.557 M
[NO2] = 0.12 – 2  0.017 = 0.086 M

3. a) We know, at equilibrium

4. Suppose x mole of O2 is added by which equilibrium shifts to right hand side and y
mole of O2 changes to SO3. The new equilibrium concentration may be represented
as
2SO2 + O2 2SO3
First equilibrium 0.5 mole 0.12 mole 5 mole

Now, KC =  = 833 (volume = 1 lit)

11. Since decomposition of PCl5 is carried out in a closed container. When helium gas is
introduced the volume remains constant and there is no change in the partial
pressures of PCl5, PCl5 and Cl2. Therefore, nothing happens on introduction of
helium gas and constant volume.
