Question

A reaction system in equilibrium according to reaction.
2SO2(g)+O2(g)2SO3(g) in one litre vessel at a given temperature was found to be 0.12 mole each of SO2 and SO3 and 5 mole of O2. In another vessel of one litre contains 32 g of SO2 at the same temperature. What mass of O2 must be added to this vessel in order that at equilibrium 20% of SO2 is oxidized to SO3?

Solution

The correct option is B 11.6 g
2SO2(g)+O2(g)2SO3(g)
Kc=(0.12)2(0.12)2×5=0.2
Another vessel
2SO2(g)+O2(g)2SO3(g)
Moles of equilibrium 0.52x yx 2x
As per given,
2x=20100×0.5=0.1
Kc=(0.1)2(0.4)2(y0.1)=0.20y=0.4125Mole
Therefore, Mass of O2 added =13.2g
Hence, option (B) is correct.
