Let Us Assess

Question 1.
In which of the following reversible reactions does change in pressure not influence equilibrium? What is the reason?
i. H2(g) + I2(g) \(\rightleftharpoons\) 2HI
ii. N2 + 3H2(g) \(\rightleftharpoons\) 2NH3
Answer:
i. H2(g) + I2(g) \(\rightleftharpoons\) 2 Hg(g)
In this reaction, the number of moles of the reactants and the number of moles of the products are same.

Question 2.
What is the use of applying high pressure during the formation of ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen?
Answer:
In this reaction, the number of moles of the products is less than the number of moles of the reactants. So if the pressure is increased, rate of forward reaction is increased. Thereby the yield of the product will be more.

Sulphuric acid is an important industrial chemical which is used in the manufacturing processes of many goods over a wide range of applications. Sulfuric acid used in pulp and paper industry for chlorine dioxide generation, tall oil splitting and pH-adjustments.Sulfuric acid is a strongly acidic, oily liquid that may be clear to cloudy in appearance. Concentrated sulfuric acid acts as both an oxidizing and dehydrating agent.

Sulfuric acid was once known as oil of vitriol. Here are some of the growing number of end-users and applications using sulfuric acid is Agricultural chemicals Aluminum Sulfate, Batteries, Cellophane, Detergents, Explosives, Fertilizers, Gasoline, Herbicides, Iron and steel pickling, Jet Fuel, Kerosene, Leather, Lubricating Oils, Medicinal processes, Oil additives, Paper, Rayon and rubber, Sugar, Synthetic fibers, Veterinary drugs, Water softener regeneration, Water treatment, Yellow pigments.

Question 3.
Fill half of a beaker of capacity 50 mL with sugar. Add concentrated sulphuric acid so that the sugar is immersed in it. Observe the changes. What are the products formed? Which property of sulphuric acid is revealed here?
Answer:
The sulphuric acid removes water from the sugar in a highly exothermic reaction, releasing heat, steam, and sulfur oxide fumes. Aside from the sulfurous odor, the reaction smells a lot like caramel. The white sugar turns into a black carbonized tube that pushes itself out of the beaker. Dehydrating properties of H2SO4 are shown in the experiment. Concentrated sulphuric acid has the ability to absorb chemically combined water, or hydrogen and oxygen from substances in the ratio corresponding to that of water. This process is known as dehydration. Concentrated sulphuric acid is a strong dehydrating agent.

ii. N2(g) + O2(g) \(\rightleftharpoons\) 2NO(g)
iii. Zn(s) + ZHCl → ZnCl2(ql) + H2(g)
iv. 2SO2(g) + O2(g) \(\rightleftharpoons\) 2SO3(g)
a In which chemical reaction pressure can influence its speed ?
b. In this reaction what changes will be made in pressure for increasing forward reaction ? Why ?
Answer:
Reaction (iv)
2SO3(g) + O3(g) \(\rightleftharpoons\) 2SO3(g)
b. In this reaction, the number of moles of the products is less than the number of moles of the reactants. So if the pressure is increased, rate of forward reaction is increased. Thereby the yield of the product will be more.

Question 19.
A graph given below deals with the reversible reaction.
Compounds Of Non-Metals Class 10 Kerala Syllabus
a What does A, B, C indicate?
b. What inference can be drawn about the concentration of the reactants and products at the point D and E?
Answer:
A – Forward reaction
B – Backward reaction
C – Equilibrium
b. There is no change in the concentration, of reactants and products at the points D and E. Because at the point ‘C’ the process attains equilibrium.

Question 20.
Some chemicals are given below. Sodium chloride, Ammonium hydroxide, Nitric acid, cone. Sulphuric, Sodium hydroxide.
a. Which are the substances needed to produce hydrogen chloride?
b. Suggest a method to identify hydrogen chloride gas.
Answer:
a. Sodium chloride
b. Show a glass rod dipped in ammonia, just above the jar in which hydrogen chloride gas is taken. A white smoke of NH34Cl is produced.

Question 21.
When ammonia was leaked two solutions were arised.
i) Spray water
ii) Spray HCl
Which method you adopt? Justify your answer.
Answer:
Spray water. Ammonia dissolves abundantly in water. So we can prevent the easy spreading of ammonia. When HCl is used the white smoke of NH4Cl spread in the atmosphere.
