17.1 The Equilibrium Law

Question 1

Marks: 1

When gaseous dinitrogen pentoxide, N2O5 (g), decomposes at 358 K, the following equilibrium is established:

Question 4

Marks: 1

Hydrogen iodide decomposes to form hydrogen and iodine vapour.

2HI (g)  ⇌ H2 (g) + I2 (g)

What is the effect of decreasing the volume of the equilibrium mixture at constant temperature?

  • The amount of H2 (g) remains the same but its concentration decreases

  • The forward reaction is favoured

  • The backward reaction is favoured

  • The value of Kremains unchanged
