49. The following equilibrium exists in aqueous solution CH 3 COOH ⇌ CH 3 COO   H  . If dilute HCl is
added without a change in temperature, then the
(1) Concentration of CH 3 COO  will increase (2) Concentration of CH 3 COO  will decrease
(3) Equilibrium constant will increase (4) Equilibrium constant will decrease
Sol: (2) When adding HCl in CH 3 COOH solution the concentration of H  is increased. So reaction is
proceed in reverse direction and the concentration of CH 3 COO  is decreased.
50. Which of the following is not favourable for SO 3 formation 2 SO 2 (g)  O 2 (g) ⇌ 2 SO 3 (g); H  45 . 0 kcal
(1) High pressure (2) High temperature
(3) Decreasing SO 3 concentration (4) Increasing reactant concentration
Sol: (2) The reaction is exothermic so high temperature will favour backward reaction.
