1.

Hydrogen fluoride is produced by reacting hydrogen with fluorine.

H2(g) + F2(g) ⇌ 2HF(g) △H= -542.2 kJ


A stress that would shift the equilibrium towards the products would be to:

a)

Add HF(g)

b)

Remove H2(g)

c)

Decrease the volume of the reaction vessel

d)

Decrease the temperature of the reaction vessel

2.

(a)  

3.

When PCl5(s) is heated, the given equilibrium is established.

PCl5(s) + 114.5 kJ ⇌ PCl3(l) + Cl2(g)

4.

The formation of hydrogen iodide gas is represented by the given reaction:

H2(g) + I2(g) ⇌ 2HI(g)

Which of the following statements is true for the system above?

a)

A decrease in pressure will not affect the reaction

b)

An increase in pressure will favour the forward reaction

c)

An increase in the concentration of H2 will not affect the reaction

d)

An increase in the concentration of HI will favour the forward reaction

5.

Some of the SO2(g) produced from the burning of coal and natural gas can react with NO2(g) in the atmosphere according to the equation:

SO2(g) + NO2(g) ⇌ NO(g) + SO3(g) △H= -41.9 kJ


The equilibrium concentration of SO3(g) in the reaction would be increased by

a)

raising the temperature

b)

adding a catalyst

c)

removing SO2(g)

d)

adding NO2(g)

6.

For the equilibrium PCl5(g) ⇌ PCl3(g) + Cl2(g) the equilibrium constant at two temperatures is given below.

227°C Kc= 2.24

486°C Kc= 33.3

According to this information, as the temperature of the system increases, the equilibrium shifts

a)

Left and the reaction is exothermic

b)

Left and the reaction is endothermic

c)

Right and the reaction is exothermic

d)

Right and the reaction is endothermic
