Mutiple Choice - Equilibrium state

AI Thread Summary
In the discussion on equilibrium states, participants analyze various scenarios involving chemical systems at equilibrium. The first question addresses a system with benzene, iodine, and air, focusing on the constancy of vapor pressure and the ongoing processes of evaporation and solid iodine mass. The second question examines the effects of temperature and pressure changes on water vapor equilibrium. The third question evaluates different systems to determine which are in equilibrium, with options ranging from partially filled containers to dissolved crystals. Overall, the thread emphasizes understanding the principles of chemical equilibrium and the conditions that maintain it.

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:

-----> 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

Now, Chem Rookie, what do you think about these questions?
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
