Mutiple Choice - Equilibrium state

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the concept of equilibrium in chemical systems, specifically examining scenarios involving benzene, iodine, and water at various temperatures and pressures. Key points include the understanding that at equilibrium, the pressure of the vapor phase remains constant, evaporation continues, and certain physical states, such as color changes, do not occur. The equilibrium state is confirmed in systems involving alcohol, dissolved KMnO4, ice in water, and mothballs, with the correct answer being option ii) a, b, and d only.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of chemical equilibrium principles
  • Knowledge of vapor pressure and phase changes
  • Familiarity with the concepts of temperature and pressure in chemical reactions
  • Basic comprehension of solubility and saturation in solutions
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the principles of Le Chatelier's Principle in chemical equilibrium
  • Learn about vapor pressure and its relationship with temperature
  • Explore the concept of dynamic equilibrium in closed systems
  • Investigate the solubility product constant (Ksp) and its applications
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, educators, and anyone interested in understanding chemical equilibrium and its applications in real-world scenarios.

1. Consider a stoppered flask containing benzene, iodine, and air, which has reached equilibrium at 298K. Which one of the following statements converning the system at equilibrium is true?
a) The pressure of the vapour phase is not constant
b) Evaporation of the liquid continues.
c) The colour of the liquids phase will change
d) The mass of the solid iodine is not constant.

2. Consider the equilibrium represented by the following equation:
Heat + H2O(l) <----
-----> H2)(g) in which T = 373K, P= 101kPa
a) The total volume of the system is increased.
b) Boiling water is added to the system
c) Water vapour is removed from the system.
d) The system is cooled.

3. Consider the following systems:
a) a container that is half-filled with alchol, soppered, and allowed to stand for several days
b) crystals of KMnO4 that are dissolved in water until the water becomes a uniform purple colour and a constant amount of crystal remains in the container.
c) an ice cube in a beaker of water in a normal classroom
d) moth balls that are placed in an empty flask that is then stoppered and allowed to stand for several days
Which of the above are in an equilibrium state?
i) a and b only
ii) a, b, and d only
iii) b and c only
iv) a, b, c and d
