                    Reaction \[Ba{{O}_{2}}(s)\,\rightleftharpoons \,BaO(s)\,+{{O}_{2}}(g);\]                 \[\Delta H=\,+ve\]. In equilibrium condition, Pressure of \[{{O}_{2}}\] depends on:                                                       

    A)                 increased mass of \[Ba{{O}_{2}}\]

    B)                         increased mass of \[BaO\]

    C)                 increased temperature of equilibrium.

    D)                 increased mass of \[Ba{{O}_{2}}\] and BaO both

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                                    According to law or mass action.                 The rate of forward reaction \[={{R}_{1}}\]                                                 But concentration of solid = 1                 then,       \[{{R}_{1}}={{k}_{1}}\]                 Similarly the rate of backward reaction \[={{R}_{2}}\]                                                 or                            At equilibrium                 \[{{R}_{1}}={{R}_{2}}\]                 \[{{k}_{1}}={{k}_{2}}[{{O}_{2}}]\,\,or\,{{k}_{1}}={{k}_{2}}\].                 where Partial pressure of \[{{O}_{2}}\]                                                 So, from the above it is clear that pressure of \[{{O}_{2}}\] does not depend upon Cone, of reactants. The given equation is an endothermic reaction. If the temperature of such reaction is increased then dissociation of \[Ba{{O}_{2}}\] would increase; and more \[{{O}_{2}}\] is produced.
