Answer:
a. Methanol remains the same
b. Methanol decreases
c. Methanol increases
d. Methanol remains the same
e. Methanol increases
Explanation:
Methanol is produced by the reaction of carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst as follows; 2H2+CO→CH3OH.
a) The presence or absence of a catalyst makes no difference on the equilibrium position of the system hence the methanol remains constant.
b) The amount of methanol decreases because the equilibrium position shifts towards the left and more reactants are formed since the reaction is exothermic.
c) If the volume is decreased, there will be more methanol in the system because the equilibrium position will shift towards the right hand side.
d) Addition of helium gas has no effect on the equilibrium position since it does not participate in the reaction system.
e) if more CO is added the amount of methanol increases since the equilibrium position will shift towards the right hand side.
Here we have to get the
of the reaction at 520 K temperature.
The
of the reaction is 1.705 atm
We know the relation between
and
is
, where
= The equilibrium constant of the reaction in terms of partial pressure,
= The equilibrium constant of the reaction in terms of concentration and N = number of moles of gaseous products - Number of moles of gaseous reactants.
Now in this reaction, PCl₃ + Cl₂ ⇄ PCl₅
Thus number of moles of gaseous product is 1, and number of moles of gaseous reactants are 2. Thus N = |1 - 2| = 1 mole
The given value of
is 4.0×10⁻²
The molar gas constant, R = 0.082 L. Atm. mol⁻¹. K⁻¹ and temperature, T = 520 K.
On plugging the values in the equation we get,

Or,
= 1.705 atm
Thus, the
of the reaction is 1.705 atm
