JEE Main 2026 · 23 January · Evening Shift · Chemistry · Chemical Equilibrium
X_ 2 (~g)+Y_ 2 (~g) leftharpoons 2 Z(g) X_ 2 (~g) and Y_ 2 (~g) are...
and are added to a 1 L flask and it is found that the system attains the above equilibrium at with the number of moles of and being 3,3 and 9 mol respectively (equilibrium moles). Under this condition of equilibrium, 10 mol of is added to the flask and the temperature is maintained at . Then the number of moles of in the flask when the new equilibrium is established is . (Nearest integer)
Correct answer
0
Step-by-step solution
The equilibrium constant for the reaction is calculated from the initial equilibrium state:
mol/L.
When 10 mol of Z(g) is added, the new concentrations are: , , mol.
The reaction quotient is .
Since , the equilibrium shifts left (toward reactants).
Let mol of Z decompose. At the new equilibrium: , , .
Applying the equilibrium expression: .
Taking the square root: .
Solving: , which gives , so .
The moles of Z at new equilibrium = mol.
mol/L.
When 10 mol of Z(g) is added, the new concentrations are: , , mol.
The reaction quotient is .
Since , the equilibrium shifts left (toward reactants).
Let mol of Z decompose. At the new equilibrium: , , .
Applying the equilibrium expression: .
Taking the square root: .
Solving: , which gives , so .
The moles of Z at new equilibrium = mol.
