Class 11 Chemistry MCQ – Applications of Equilibrium Constants

This set of Class 11 Chemistry Chapter 7 Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Applications of Equilibrium Constants”.

1. If KC > 10x, the products predominate over reactants. Then what is the value of x?
a) 2
b) 3
c) 4
d) 1
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: If KC > 10x, the products are predominant, over the reactants in a chemical reaction because if KC is very large the reaction proceeds nearly to completion an example for this is at 300K, H2(g) + Cl2(g) \(\rightleftharpoons\) 2HCl(g), KC = 4 x 1031.

2. What will happen if KC > 10-3 in a chemical reaction?
a) products are predominant
b) reactants are predominant
c) equilibrium
d) dynamic equilibrium
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: If KC > 10-3, the reactants are predominant over the products in a chemical reaction and the products are predominant, over the reactants in a chemical reaction, if KC > 103, where KC is the equilibrium constant.

3. Reaction quotient is depicted by this symbol __________
a) K
b) QC
c) R
d) q
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: For any reversible reaction at any stage other than equilibrium, the ratio of the molar concentrations of the products to that of the reactants, where is concentration term is raised to the power equal to the stoichiometric efficient to the substance concerned is called the reaction quotient, QC.

4. For a reaction aA + bB → cC + dD, which is not in equilibrium the QC is given as __________
a) [A]a[B]b/[C]c[D]d
b) [C]c[D]d/[A]a[B]b
c) [A][B]/[C][D]
d) [C][D]/[A][B]
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: A very basic reaction like aA + bB → cC + dD, where the capital letters represent the compounds or molecules and the small letters are the coefficients of them the reaction quotient QC, is given by [C]c[D]d/[A]a[B]b.

5. What will happen If QC > KC?
a) QC decreases till equilibrium
b) QC increases till equilibrium
c) QC remains constant
d) cannot say
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: If QC > KC, the value of QC will tend to decrease to reach the value of equilibrium constant (that is towards equilibrium) and the reaction will continue in the opposite direction, where QC is reaction quotient and KC is the equilibrium constant.

6. At equilibrium, KC is _______________
a) greater than reaction quotient
b) equal to the reaction quotient
c) less than the reaction question
d) independent of reaction question
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: At equilibrium, the equilibrium constant and the reaction quotient is equal. The equilibrium constant is depicted by the symbol KC and the reaction quotient is represented by the symbol QC.

7. What do you think will happen if reaction quotient is smaller than the equilibrium constant?
a) equilibrium constant will change
b) reaction quotient remains constant
c) reaction quotient increases continuously
d) reaction quotient increases till KC
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: If the reaction quotient is less than the equilibrium constant KC, the reaction quotient will tend to increase and the reaction will proceed in the forward direction, till it reaches the value of the equilibrium constant.

8. If [H2]t=0.10 M, [I2]t = 0.20 M and [HI]t = 0.40 M, in the reaction H2(g) + I2(g) \(\rightleftharpoons\) 2HI(g), what is the value of QC?
a) 8
b) 4
c) 2
d) 1
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: We know that reaction quotient Qc = [HI]t2 / [H2]t[I2]t and given that [H2]t=0.10 M, [I2]t = 0.20 M and [HI]t = 0.40 M, So by substituting, we get Qc = (0.40 M x 0.40 M)/(0.20 M x 0.10 M) = 8.0, 8 is the answer.

9. What do you understand from the reaction if reaction quotient is 2 and the equilibrium constant is 3?
a) the equilibrium constant increases
b) the equilibrium constant decreases
c) the equilibrium constant remains the same
d) reaction quotient increases
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: In a reaction, if reaction quotient is less than the equilibrium constant, the reaction quotient will tend to increase and the reaction will proceed in the forward direction till it reaches equilibrium.

10. Equilibrium constant depends on the temperature.
a) true
b) false
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Yes, the equilibrium constant depends on the temperature and its unique for a chemical reaction at a given temperature. So the above-given statement about the equilibrium constant is considered to be true.
