Paragraph for Question No. 36 - 37 (2016)
Thermal decomposition of gaseous X2 to gaseous X at 298 K takes place according to the following equation:


X2(g)  2X(g)
The standard reaction Gibbs energy,  rG, of this reaction is positive. At the start of the reaction, there is one
mole of X2 and no X. As the reaction proceeds, the number of moles of X formed is given by  . Thus, equilibrium
is the number of moles of X formed at equilibrium. The reaction is carried out at a constant total pressure of 2
bar. Consider the gases to behave ideally. (Given : R = 0.083 L bar K–1 mol–1)

36. The equilibrium constant KP for this reaction at 298 K, in terms of equilibrium , is :

37. The INCORRECT statement among the following, for this reaction, is
(A) Decrease in the total pressure will result in formation of more moles of gaseous X
(B) At the start of the reaction, dissociation of gaseous X2 takes place spontaneously
(C) equilibrium  0.7
(D) Kc  1

38. The standard state Gibbs free energies of formation of C(graphite) and C(diamond) as T = 298 K are :
f G [C(graphite)]  0 kJ mol 1 ; f G [C(diamond)]  2.9 kJ mol 1. (2017)

The standard state means that the pressure should be 1 bar, and substance should be pure at a given
temperature. The conversion of graphite [C(graphite)] to diamond [C(diamond)] reduces its volume by

2  10 6 m 3mol 1. If C(graphite) is converted to C(diamond) isothermally at T = 298 K, the pressure at

which C(graphite) is in equilibrium with C(diamond), is : [Useful information: 1 J  1 kg m 2s 2 ;

(B) With increase in temperature, the value of K for endothermic reaction increases because
