Thermal decomposition of gaseous X2 to gaseous X at 298 K takes place according to the following equation : X2(g) \(\text { ⇌ }\) 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 β. Thus, βequilibrium 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)
 
The INCORRECT statement among the following, for this
reaction, is (2016)
  1. Decrease in the total pressure will result in formation of more moles of gaseous X
  2. At the start of the reaction, dissociation of gaseous X2 takes place spontaneously
  3. βequilibrium = 0.7
  4. KC < 1

Answer

(C) β equilibrium = 0.7
