(long answer type questions each carry 4 marks)
30. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions.

Predicting the Direction of the Reaction- The equilibrium constant helps in predicting the direction in which a
given reaction will proceed at any stage. For this purpose, we calculate the reaction quotient Q. The reaction
quotient, Q (Qc with molar concentrations and QP with partial pressures) is defined in the same way as the
equilibrium constant Kc except that the concentrations in Qc are not necessarily equilibrium values. For a
general reaction:
5
 aA+bB ⇌cC+dD
Qc = [C]c [D]d / [A]a [B]b
Then,
If Qc > Kc , the reaction will proceed in the direction of reactants (reverse reaction).
If Qc < Kc , the reaction will proceed in the direction of the products (forward reaction).
If Qc = Kc , the reaction mixture is already at equilibrium. Consider the gaseous reaction of H2 with I2 ,
H2 (g) + I2 (g) ⇌ 2HI(g); Kc = 57.0 at 700 K.
Suppose we have molar concentrations [H2 ]t =0.10M, [I2 ]t = 0.20 M and [HI]t = 0.40 M. (the subscript t on
the concentration symbols means that the concentrations were measured at some arbitrary time t, not
necessarily at equilibrium). Thus, the reaction quotient, Qc at this stage of the reaction is given by,

Qc = [HI]t 2 / [H2 ] t [I2 ] t = (0.40)2/ (0.10)×(0.20) = 8.0

Now, in this case, Qc (8.0) does not equal Kc (57.0), so the mixture of H2 (g), I2 (g) and HI(g) is not at
equilibrium; that is, more H2 (g) and I 2 (g) will react to form more HI(g) and their concentrations will decrease till
Qc = Kc . The reaction quotient, Qc is useful in predicting the direction of reaction by comparing the values
of Qc and Kc .Thus, we can make the following generalisations concerning the direction of the reaction
If Qc < Kc , net reaction goes from left to right

If Qc > Kc , net reaction goes from right to left.

If Qc = Kc , no net reaction occurs.
Calculating Equilibrium Concentrations In case of a problem in which we know the initial concentrations but
do not know any of the equilibrium concentrations, the following three steps shall be followed:
Step 1) Write the balanced equation for the reaction.

Step 2) Under the balanced equation, make a table that lists for each substance involved in the reaction: (a)
the initial concentration, (b) the change in concentration on going to equilibrium, and (c) the equilibrium
concentration. In constructing the table, define x as the concentration (mol/L) of one of the substances that
reacts on going to equilibrium, then use the stoichiometry of the reaction to determine the concentrations of
the other substances in terms of x.

Step 3) Substitute the equilibrium concentrations into the equilibrium equation for the reaction and solve for x.
If you are to solve a quadratic equation choose the mathematical solution that makes chemical sense.
Step 4) Calculate the equilibrium concentrations from the calculated value of x.

Step 5) Check your results by substituting them into the equilibrium equation.
Relationship between equilibrium constant K, reaction quotient Q and gibbs energy G The value of Kc for a
reaction does not depend on the rate of the reaction. However, it is directly related to the thermodynamics of
the reaction and in particular, to the change in Gibbs energy, ∆G. If,
∆G is negative, then the reaction is spontaneous and proceeds in the forward direction.
∆G is positive, then reaction is considered non-spontaneous. Instead, as reverse reaction would have a
negative ∆G, the products of the forward reaction shall be converted to the reactants.
∆G is 0, reaction has achieved equilibrium; at this point, there is no longer any free energy left to drive the
reaction. A mathematical expression of this thermodynamic view of equilibrium can be described by the
following equation:

∆G = ∆Gø + RT lnQ
where, Gø is standard Gibbs energy. At equilibrium, when ∆G = 0 and Q = Kc , the equation
becomes,
∆G = Gø + RTlnK = 0
∆Gø = – RT lnK
lnK = – ∆Gø / RT
6
Taking antilog of both sides, we get,
K = e–∆G0/RT
Hence, using the equation , the reaction spontaneity can be interpreted in terms of the value of ∆ Gø .
If ∆ Gø < 0, then –∆Gø /RT is positive, and >1, making K >1, which implies a spontaneous reaction or the
reaction which proceeds in the forward direction to such an extent that the products are present
predominantly.
If ∆Gø > 0, then –∆Gø /RT is negative, and < 1, that is , K < 1, which implies a non-spontaneous reaction or a
reaction which proceeds in the forward direction to such a small degree that only a very minute quantity of
product is formed.
Factors affecting equilibria One of the principal goals of chemical synthesis is to maximise the conversion of
the reactants to products while minimizing the expenditure of energy. This implies maximum yield of products
at mild temperature and pressure conditions. If it does not happen, then the experimental conditions need to
be adjusted. For example, in the Haber process for the synthesis of ammonia from N2 and H2 , the choice of
experimental conditions is of real economic importance. Annual world production of ammonia is about
hundred million tones, primarily for use as fertilizers. Equilibrium constant, Kc is independent of initial
concentrations. But if a system at equilibrium is subjected to a change in the concentration of one or more of
the reacting substances, then the system is no longer at equilibrium; and net reaction takes place in some
direction until the system returns to equilibrium once again. Similarly, a change in temperature or pressure of
the system may also alter the equilibrium. In order to decide what course the reaction adopts and make a
qualitative prediction about the effect of a change in conditions on equilibrium we use Le Chatelier’s principle.
It states that a change in any of the factors that determine the equilibrium conditions of a system will cause
the system to change in such a manner so as to reduce or to counteract the effect of the change. This is
applicable to all physical and chemical equilibria.
Effect of Concentration Change In general, when equilibrium is disturbed by the addition/removal of any
reactant/ products, Le Chatelier’s principle predicts that:
The concentration stress of an added reactant/product is relieved by net reaction in the direction that
consumes the added substance.
The concentration stress of a removed reactant/product is relieved by net reaction in the direction that
replenishes the removed substance. or in other words, “When the concentration of any of the reactants or
products in a reaction at equilibrium is changed, the composition of the equilibrium mixture changes so as to
minimize the effect of concentration changes”. Let us take the reaction,

H2 (g) + I2 (g) ⇌ 2HI(g)

If H2 is added to the reaction mixture at equilibrium, then the equilibrium of the reaction is disturbed. In order
to restore it, the reaction proceeds in a direction wherein H2 is consumed, i.e., more of H2 and I2 react to
form HI and finally the equilibrium shifts in right (forward) direction. This is in accordance with the Le
Chatelier’s principle which implies that in case of addition of a reactant/product, a new equilibrium will be set
up in which the concentration of the reactant/product should be less than what it was after the addition but
more than what it was in the original mixture. The same point can be explained in terms of the reaction

7
quotient, Qc ,

Qc = [HI]2 / [H2 ][I2]

Addition of hydrogen at equilibrium results in value of Qc being less than Kc . Thus, in order to attain
equilibrium again reaction moves in the forward direction. Similarly, we can say that removal of a product
also boosts the forward reaction and increases the concentration of the products and this has great
commercial application in cases of reactions, where the product is a gas or a volatile substance. In case
of manufacture of ammonia, ammonia is liquified and removed from the reaction mixture so that reaction
keeps moving in forward direction. Similarly, in the large scale production of CaO (used as important
building material) from CaCO3 , constant removal of CO2 from the kiln drives the reaction to completion.
It should be remembered that continuous removal of a product maintains Qc at a value less than Kc and
reaction continues to move in the forward direction.

31. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:-
The first concrete explanation for the phenomenon of the blackbody radiation was given by Max Planck in
1900.An ideal body, which emits and absorbs radiations of all frequencies uniformly, is called a black
body and the radiation emitted by such a body is called black body radiation. Max Planck arrived at a
satisfactory relationship by making an assumption that absorption and emission of radiation arises from
oscillator i.e., atoms in the wall of black body. He suggested that atoms and molecules could emit or
absorb energy only in discrete quantities and not in a continuous manner. He gave the name quantum to
the smallest quantity of energy that can be emitted or absorbed in the form of electromagnetic radiation.
The energy (E ) of a quantum of radiation is proportional to its frequency (ν ) and is expressed by
equation E = hv.
The proportionality constant, ‘h’ is known as Planck’s constant and has the value6.626×10 -34Js.In 1887,
H. Hertz performed a very interesting experiment in which electrons (or electric current) were ejected
when certain metals (for example potassium, rubidium, caesium etc.) were exposed to a beam of light.
The phenomenon is called Photoelectric effect. The results observed in this experiment were:

(i) The electrons are ejected from the metal surface as soon as the beam of light strikes the surface, i.e., there is
no time lag between the striking of light beam and the ejection of electrons from the metal surface.
(ii) The number of electrons ejected is proportional to the intensity or brightness

of light.

8
(iii) For each metal, there is a characteristic minimum frequency,ν0(also known as threshold frequency) below
which photoelectric effect is not observed. At a frequency ν >ν0, the ejected electrons come out with certain
kinetic energy. The kinetic energies of these electrons increase with the increase of frequency of the light used.
The particle nature of light posed a dilemma for scientists. The only way to resolve the dilemma was to accept
the idea that light possesses both particle and wave-like properties, i.e., light has dual behaviour. Depending on
the experiment, wefind that light behaves either as a wave or as a stream of particles. Whenever radiation
interacts with matter, it displays particle like properties in contrast to the wavelike properties (interference and
diffraction), whichit exhibits when it propagates. This concept was totally alien to the way the scientists thought
about matter and radiation and it tookthem a long time to become convinced of its validity.

The study of emission or absorption spectra is referred to as spectroscopy. The emission spectra of atoms in the
gas phase, on the other hand, do not show a continuous spread of wavelength from red to violet, rather they emit
light only at specific wavelengths with dark spaces between them.Such spectra are called line spectra or atomic
spectra. The Swedish spectroscopist, Johannes Rydberg, noted that
all series of lines in the hydrogen spectrum could be described by the following expression :

The value 109,677 cm –1 is called the Rydberg constant for hydrogen. The first five series of lines that correspond
to n1= 1, 2, 3,4, 5 are known as Lyman, Balmer, Paschen ,Bracket and Pfund series, respectively. Neils Bohr
(1913) was the first to explain quantitatively the general features of the structure of hydrogen atom and its
spectrum. He used Planck’s concept of quantisation of energy. Though the theory is not the modern quantum
mechanics, it can still be used to rationalize many points in the atomic structure and spectra. Bohr’s model for
hydrogen atomis based on the following postulates:

i) The electron in the hydrogen atom can move around the nucleus in a circular path of fixed radius and energy.
These paths are called orbits, stationary states or allowed energy states. These orbits are arranged
concentrically around the nucleus.
ii) The energy of an electron in the orbit does not change with time. However, the electron will move from a lower
stationary state to a higher stationary state when required amount of energy is absorbed by the electron or
energy is emitted when electron moves from higher stationary state to lower stationary state. The energy change
does not take place in a continuous manner.
iii) The frequency of radiation absorbed or emitted when transition occurs between two stationary states that
differ in energy by ∆E, is given by:

Where E1 and E2 are the energies of the lower and higher allowed energy states respectively. This expression is
commonly known as Bohr’s frequency rule.
iv) The angular momentum of an electron is quantised. In a given stationary state itcan be expressed as in
equation
