Q.

A closed container was divided in to two equal half with a thin metal plate. In one half equilibrium CuSO4·3H2O(S)+2H2O(g)⇌CuSO4.5H2O(S) has been established with equilibrium pressure 0.1 atm and in the other half  H2O(s)⇌H2O(g)equilibrium established at a pressure of  0.2 atm. If temperature is same in both halfs what happens if the metal plate was removed

Detailed Solution

When the metal plate was removed the pressure in the container become 0.15 atm. So  CuSO4·3H2O(S)+2H2O(g)⇌CuSO4·5H2O(S) equilibrium proceed in forward direction and  H2O(S)⇌H2O(g)proceed in forward direction.
