The Total solution for NCERT class 6-12
Dihydrogengas is obtained from natural gas by partial oxidation with steam as perfollowing endothermic reaction:
(a) Write as expression for Kp for the above reaction.
(b) How will the values of Kp and composition ofequilibrium mixture be affected by
(i)Increasing the pressure
(ii)Increasing the temperature
(iii)Using a catalyst?
(a) For the given reaction,
(b) (i) According to LeChatelier’s principle, the equilibrium will shift in the backward direction.
(ii)According to Le Chatelier’s principle, as the reaction is endothermic, theequilibrium will shift in the forward direction.
(iii)The equilibrium of the reaction is not affected by the presence of a catalyst.A catalyst only increases the rate of a reaction. Thus, equilibrium will beattained quickly.
