When 3.06 g of solid NH4HS is introduced into a two litre evacuated flask at 27o C, 30% of the solid decomposes into gaseous ammonia and hydrogen sulphide. (i) Kc and Kp for the reaction at 27o C (ii) What would happen to the equilibrium when more solid NH4HS is introduced into the flask?
Answer
(B)
Kc = 8.1 x 10^-5 mol^2 l^-2, Kp = 4.78 x 10^-2 atm^2, No change in equilibrium

Give reasons of the following:
BeCl2 can be easily hydrolysed.
Answer
(B)
The small size and high polarizing power of Be2+ distorts the water molecule, weakening the O-H bond and facilitating hydrolysis.

Nitrobenzene is formed as the major product along with a minor product in the reaction of benzene with a hot mixture of nitric acid and sulphuric acid. The minor product consists of carbon : 42.86 %, hydrogen : 2.40%, nitrogen : 16.67% and oxygen : 38.07% (i) Calculate the empirical formula of the minor product. (ii) When 5.5 g of the minor product is dissolved in 45 g of benzene, the boiling point of the solution is 1.84 oC higher than that of pure benzene. Calculate the molar mass of the minor product and determine its molecular and structural formula. (Molal boiling point elevation constant of benzene is 2.53 K kg mol-1)
