The equilibrium, 2SO₂ (g) + O₂ (g) $\rightleftharpoons$2SO₃ (g)

shifts forward if:

1. a catalyst is used

2. an absorbent is used to remove SO₃ as soon as it is formed

3. small amounts of reactants are used

4. none of the above

The pH of blood is maintained by CO₂ by and H₂CO₃ in the body and chemical constituents of blood. This phenomenon is called:

1. colloidal                           

2. buffer action

3. acidic                               

4. salt balance

Incorrect statement among the following is: 

1. Addition of one drop of concentrated HCl in NH₄OH solution decreases pH of the solution.

2. A solution of the mixture of one equivalent of each of CH₃COOH and NaOH has a pH of 7

3. pH of pure neutral water is not zero.

4. A cold and concentrated H₂SO₄ has lower H⁺ ion concentration than a dilute solution of H₂SO₄ 

The rate constants for forward and backward reaction of hydrolysis is ester are 1.1 x10^-2 and 1.5x10^-3 per minute. Equilibrium constant for the reaction,                                                              

 CH₃COOC₂H₅ + H⁺ $\rightleftharpoons$ CH₃COOH + C₂H₅OH is

4. 7.33

What happens to pH of a solution when NH₄Cl crystal is added to a dilute solution of NH₄OH?

4. All of the above

For the reactions,

A $\rightleftharpoons$ B;                                  K_c = 2

B $\rightleftharpoons$ C;                                  K_c = 4

C $\rightleftharpoons$ D;                                  K_c = 6

K_c for the reaction, A $\rightleftharpoons$ D is:

1. (2+4+6)                       

2. (2x4)/6

3. (4x6)/2                         

4. 2x4x6
