Consider the reaction:

(b) PA at 21 min PA at 27 min.
(c) PB at 7 min PB at 13 min.(d) After 20 min, more B is added. When equilibrium is reestablished, K before the addition K after the addition.

(a)
Interpretation:
The relation between the partial pressure of D and A at 5 min needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The system is said to be in equilibrium if the there is no change in the partial pressure or concentration of reactant and product takes place.
For a general equilibrium reaction as follows:
The expression for the equilibrium constant is represented as follows:
Here, to calculate the equilibrium constant, the values of partial pressure of all the species in reactant and product side are required.
Answer to Problem 69QAP
Partial pressure of D gas at 5 min is greater than (GT) partial pressure of A gas.
Explanation of Solution
The reaction is given as follows:
Initially A, B and C are present in the system. If reaction starts at time t, the equilibrium will be established at
The change in partial pressure takes place as follows:
At 5 min, the equilibrium is not established thus, the reaction is moving in the forward direction with same rate.
Since, the reaction is in forward direction, the pressure of product will be more than reactant.
Thus,
Partial pressure of D gas at 5 min is greater than partial pressure of A gas.
(b)
Interpretation:
The relation between the partial pressure of A 12 min and at 27 min needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The system is said to be in equilibrium if the there is no change in the partial pressure or concentration of reactant and product takes place.
Answer to Problem 69QAP
The partial pressure of A gas at 21 min will be equal to (EQ) the partial pressure of B gas at 27 min.
Explanation of Solution
The reaction is given as follows:
Initially A, B and C are present in the system. If reaction starts at time t, the equilibrium will be established at
The change in partial pressure takes place as follows:
Since, equilibrium is established at 18 min, after 18 min the pressure of all the gases become equal.
Thus, the partial pressure of A gas at 21 min will be equal to the partial pressure of B gas at 27 min.
(c)
Interpretation:
The relation between the partial pressure of B at 7 min and at 13 min needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The system is said to be in equilibrium if the there is no change in the partial pressure or concentration of reactant and product takes place.
For a general equilibrium reaction as follows:
The expression for the equilibrium constant is represented as follows:
Here, to calculate the equilibrium constant, the values of partial pressure of all the species in reactant and product side are required.
Answer to Problem 69QAP
The partial pressure of A gas at 7 min will be greater than (GT) partial pressure of B gas at 13 min.
Explanation of Solution
The reaction is given as follows:
Initially A, B and C are present in the system. If reaction starts at time t, the equilibrium will be established at
The change in partial pressure takes place as follows:
The reaction is moving in forward direction, the partial pressure of B decreases with time till the system reaches equilibrium. Thus, partial pressure of A gas at 7 min will be greater than partial pressure of B gas at 13 min.
(d)
Interpretation:
If more B is added in the system after 20 min, the change in K needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
According to Le Chatelier’s principle, if at equilibrium, any change in temperature, concentration or pressure is applied to a system, the shift in equilibrium takes place to counteract the change.
Also, on compressing a system, the total pressure of the system increases thus, reaction shifts to decrease the total pressure and number of moles of gaseous species.
Opposite to this on expansion, the total pressure of the system decreases thus, reaction shifts to increase the total pressure and number of moles of gaseous species.
Only change in temperature can change the value of K, in other cases the value of K remains the same.
There are 3 conditions that can change the equilibrium direction in a system:
- Addition and removal of gaseous species.
- Expansion and compression of the system.
- Change in temperature of the system.
Answer to Problem 69QAP
The value of K before the addition of B will be less than (LT) K after the addition.
Explanation of Solution
The reaction is given as follows:
Initially A, B and C are present in the system. If reaction starts at time t, the equilibrium will be established at
The change in partial pressure takes place as follows:
After 20 min, the system is in equilibrium and if more B is added the equilibrium will shift in the direction to decrease the partial pressure of B and the reaction moves in forward direction.
Thus, after the addition of B, K increases and the value of K before the addition of B will be less than K after the addition.
(e)
Interpretation:
If temperature of the system is increased after 20 min, the change in partial pressure of A needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
According to Le Chatelier’s principle, if at equilibrium, any change in temperature, concentration or pressure is applied to a system, the shift in equilibrium takes place to counteract the change.
Also, on compressing a system, the total pressure of the system increases thus, reaction shifts to decrease the total pressure and number of moles of gaseous species.

Answer to Problem 69QAP
The change in value of K or partial pressure of A cannot be determined due to increase in temperature. (X)
Explanation of Solution
The reaction is given as follows:
Initially A, B and C are present in the system. If reaction starts at time t, the equilibrium will be established at
The change in partial pressure takes place as follows:
After 20 min, if temperature is increased to
The value of K depends on the temperature but it also depends on the sign of the change in enthalpy of the reaction which depends on the type of reaction as if it is endothermic or exothermic reaction.
For exothermic reaction, the value of change in enthalpy is negative and for such reaction, the value of K decreases with increase in temperature.
And, for endothermic reaction, the value of change in enthalpy is positive and for such reaction, the value of K increases with increase in temperature.
Since, any information related to type of reaction or change in enthalpy, the change in value of K or partial pressure of A cannot be determined due to increase in temperature.
