Assertion
(A): Excessive use of chlorinated
pesticide causes soil and water pollution.
Reason (R)
: Such pesticides are non-biodegradable.
Solubility of carbonates decreases down the group
and hence the correct order of solubility is,
MgCO3 > CaCO3 > SrCO3
> BaCO3

Consider the reaction where KP = 0.5 at a
particular temperature
PCl5(g) ⇌ PCl3
(g) + Cl2 (g)
if the three gases are mixed in a container so that the
partial pressure of each gas is initially 1 atm, then which one of the
following is true
KP = 0.5

Q > KP ∴ Reverse
reaction is favoured ; i.e. more PCl5 will be produced. option (c)
Ti = 125° C = 398 K
Tf = 25° C = 298 K
ΔH = nCp (Tf – Ti)
ΔH = 2x(5/2)R(298-398)
ΔH = – 500 R
