Chemistry Question on Equilibrium
Reaction BaO2 (s)⇌ BaO (s) + O2(g); ∆H = + ve. In equilibrium condition. The pressure of O2 depends on :
A
Increase mass of BaO2
B
Increase mass of BaO
C
Increase temp. on Eqm.
D
Increase mass of BaO2 and BaO both
Answer
Increase temp. on Eqm.
Explanation
Solution
The correct option is (C) : Increase temp. on Eqm.
The following reaction is given: BaO2 (s)⇌BaO (s)+ O2 (g); H= +ive H is positive in this reaction because. Its nature is endothermic as a result. By using Le Chatelier's principle, we can show that the reaction moves ahead as the temperature rises. As a result, as the temperature rises at equilibrium, the pressure of oxygen will also rise.
