Chemical Equilibrium question

2005 · Shift 0 · Q1

JEE MainChemistryChemical EquilibriumMCQ+4 / −1
An amount of solid NH4HSNH_4HSNH4​HS is placed in a flask already containing ammonia gas at a certain temperature and 0.50 atm. Pressure. Ammonium hydrogen sulphide decomposes to yield NH3NH_3NH3​ and H2SH_2SH2​S gases in the flask. When the decomposition reaction reaches equilibrium, the total pressure in the flask rises to 0.84 atm. The equilibrium constant for NH4HSNH_4HSNH4​HS decomposition at this temperature is :
  1. A
    0.30
  2. B
    0.11
  3. C
    0.17

Correct answer: B

  1. Write the equilibrium reaction

NH4HS(s)⇌NH3(g)+H2S(g)NH_4HS(s) \rightleftharpoons NH_3(g) + H_2S(g)NH4​HS(s)⇌NH3​(g)+H2​S(g)

For this heterogeneous equilibrium, the solid does not appear in the equilibrium constant expression.

So,

Kp=PNH3⋅PH2SK_p = P_{NH_3}\cdot P_{H_2S}Kp​=PNH3​​⋅PH2​S​

  1. Initial condition

Initially, the flask already contains ammonia gas at pressure:

PNH3initial=0.50 atmP_{NH_3}^{\text{initial}} = 0.50\,\text{atm}PNH3​initial​=0.50atm

Initially, no H2SH_2SH2​S is present:

PH2Sinitial=0P_{H_2S}^{\text{initial}} = 0PH2​Sinitial​=0

  1. Let decomposition produce xxx atm each of NH3NH_3NH3​ and H2SH_2SH2​S

From the reaction stoichiometry, decomposition of solid NH4HSNH_4HSNH4​HS adds equal partial pressures of NH3NH_3NH3​ and H2SH_2SH2​S.

Thus at equilibrium:

PNH3=0.50+xP_{NH_3} = 0.50 + xPNH3​​=0.50+x PH2S=xP_{H_2S} = xPH2​S​=x

  1. Use total equilibrium pressure

Given total pressure at equilibrium is:

Ptotal=0.84 atmP_{\text{total}} = 0.84\,\text{atm}Ptotal​=0.84atm

Therefore,

(0.50+x)+x=0.84(0.50 + x) + x = 0.84(0.50+x)+x=0.84

0.50+2x=0.840.50 + 2x = 0.840.50+2x=0.84

2x=0.342x = 0.342x=0.34

x=0.17 atmx = 0.17\,\text{atm}x=0.17atm

So,

PNH3=0.50+0.17=0.67 atmP_{NH_3} = 0.50 + 0.17 = 0.67\,\text{atm}PNH3​​=0.50+0.17=0.67atm PH2S=0.17 atmP_{H_2S} = 0.17\,\text{atm}PH2​S​=0.17atm

  1. Calculate KpK_pKp​

Kp=PNH3⋅PH2SK_p = P_{NH_3}\cdot P_{H_2S}Kp​=PNH3​​⋅PH2​S​

Kp=(0.67)(0.17)=0.1139K_p = (0.67)(0.17) = 0.1139Kp​=(0.67)(0.17)=0.1139

Kp≈0.11K_p \approx 0.11Kp​≈0.11

  1. Match with option

The correct option is:

0.11\boxed{0.11}0.11​

So, Option B is correct.
