and one of the factor is the equilibrium is altered the equilibrium will shift so as to
tend to reduce the effect of change 02marks
(b) (i) Low temperature :-
The forward reaction is exothermic reaction . this suggest that low temperature will
yield high proportion of sulphur trioxide (So3) reaction will proceed to forward
direction.
(ii) High pressure / increase pressure:-
According to le- chartellier’s principle high pressure will produce a greater yield of
sulphur trioxide. Reaction will shift to the right hand side because there is low
number of mole 02marks

equilibrium will not attained or balanced. So that the reaction will favor more to the
forward direction ( product side) However there will be less concentration of

(iv). Vanadium pentaoxide V2Os 01mark
9. Hard water :- Is the water that does not form lather with soap. Is caused by
dissolved salt including sulphates chlorides and hydrogen carbonates of calcium and
magnesium.
Method used to make hard water safe and clean
(i) Boiling : Boiling decompose calcium and magnesium hydrogen carbonates to
form carbonates water and carbon dioxide gas. The calcium and magnesium
ions are removed from water as insoluble carbonates and then deposited as
solid at the bottom of boilers. Example
CaHCo3 Heat CaCo3(s) + H2O(L) + Co2(g)
MgHCo3 Heat Mg Co3 + H2O(L) + Co2(g)
(ii) Addition of aqueous ammonia. When aqueous ammonia is added to
temporally hard water the soluble hydrogen carbonates of magnesium and
calcium are converted into insoluble carbonate. For example
2NH4OH(aq) + Mg (HCo3)2 Mg Co3 + (NH4 Co3 + 2H2O
- When aqueous ammonia is added to permanent hard water the soluble
sulphates or chlorides of magnesium and calcium are converted into
hydroxide. For example
2NH4OH(aq) + Mg So4 Mg (OH)2 + (NH4)2So4
(iii) Distillation:- This process relies on evaporation by condensation to purify
hard water. During distillation the hard water is heated to form steam which
then cools and then condenses to form soft water.
(iv) Treatment with calcium hydroxide ( lime water). The soluble magnesium
or calcium hydrogen carbonate react with calcium hydrogen to form
insoluble magnesium carbonate or calcium carbonate and water.
For example
Ca (HCo3)2 + Ca(OH)2 2CaCo3(s) + 2H2O(L)
(v) Use of washing soda (Na2Co3) :- Sodium carbonate is added into water to
form calcium carbonate or magnesium carbonate precipitate.
Ca(HCo3)2 + Na2Co3 CaCo3 + 2NaHCo3
CaSo4 + Na2Co3 CaCo3 + Na2So4
(vi) Use of ion exchangers:- These treat bath temporary and permanent
hardness by removing all the calcium and magnesium ions from water.
