The following reaction occurs in the Blast Furnace where iron ore is reduced to iron metal :

Fe₂O₃(s) + 3 CO(g) $$\rightleftharpoons$$ 2 Fe(1) + 3 CO₂(g)

Using the Le Chatelier’s principle, predict which one of the following will not disturb the equilibrium ?

The electronic configuration with the highest ionization enthalpy is :

The rate of a reaction quadruples when the temperature changes from 300 to 310 K. The activation energy of this reaction is :

(Assume activation energy and preexponential factor are independent of temperature; ln 2 = 0.693; R = 8.314 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹)

A solution is prepared by mixing 8.5 g of CH₂Cl₂ and 11.95 g of CHCl₃ . If vapour pressure of CH₂Cl₂ and CHCl₃ at 298 K are 415 and 200 mmHg respectively, the mole fraction of CHCl₃ in vapour form is : (Molar mass of Cl = 35.5 g mol⁻¹)
