1. Ans. (A)
NH4 HS(s) ⇌ NH3 (g) + H2 S(g)
3.06
Moles of NH4 HS = 51 = 0.06
Degree of dissociation = 0.3

K C = [NH3 (g)] [H2 S(g)] = 8.1 × 10–5
Now applying,
K P = K C (RT)Δn = 8.1 × 10–5 × (0.082 × 300)2 = 0.049

2. Ans. (A, B, D)
(A) The expression for the enthalpy change is H = CPT
Hence, the enthalpy of the reaction is temperature-dependent.
(B) Equilibrium constant, K is independent of initial amount of calcium carbonate and is
dependent only on temperature.
(C) Equilibrium constant depends on temperature but it is independent of pressure.
(D) Presence of catalyst lowers the activation energy but, the enthalpy of reaction is not affected.

3. Ans. (8.92 or 8.93)

Fe2+ (aq) + s2− (aq) ⇌ FeS(s) K C = 1.6 × 1017

Reaction will be almost completed as K C is very large.
