Question:

Of the following which change will shift the reaction towards the product? $I_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2I(g) $ $\Delta H^{\circ} (298\, K) = +150\, kJ$

Updated On: Aug 15, 2022

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

$I _{2}(g) 2 I (g) ; \Delta H_{r}^{\circ}(298\, K )=+150\, kJ$ According to Le-Chatelier's principle the conditions favouring formation of $I$ are (i) High concentration of $I _{2}$ (ii) High temperature (reaction is endothermic so, on increasing the temperature equilibrium will shift in the direction where heat is absorbed). (iii) Low pressure (moles of products are more than moles of reactant, so, if pressure is increased equilibrium will shift in the direction where volume is less).

Applications of surface chemistry are:

Adsorption:

The process of attraction and aggregation of the molecules of a substance on the surface of a solid is known as adsorption. For Example, N2 adsorbs on the surface of activated charcoal

Two types of adsorption are:-

  • Chemisorption: It is also known as Chemical Adsorption.
  • Physisorption: It is also known as Physical Adsorption.

Corrosion:

The process through which the refined metals convert themselves into more stable compounds is known as corrosion.

Crystallisation:

The type of technique used in order to purify the substances to separate Solids from liquids is known as crystallisation.

Heterogeneous Catalysis:

The process wherein a catalyst is used in order to increase the rate of a chemical reaction is known as catalysis. The catalyst does not undergo any transformation and can be recovered in a chemically unchanged state. 

There are two types of catalysis:-

  • When the catalyst involved and the reacting substances are same states of matter or in the same phase, it is known as Homogeneous Catalysis.
  • When the catalyst involved and the reacting substances are in different states of matter or different phases, it is known as Heterogeneous Catalysis.
