An incorrect statement about equilibrium among the following is:

1. In equilibrium mixture of ice and water kept in perfectly insulated flask, the mass of ice and water does not change with time.
2. The intensity of the red colour increases when oxalic acid is added to a solution containing iron (III) nitrate and potassium thiocyanate.
3. On the addition of a catalyst, the equilibrium constant value is not affected.
4. The equilibrium constant for a reaction with a negative  ∆H  value decreases as the temperature increases.

When hydrochloric acid is added to cobalt nitrate solution at room temperature, the following reaction takes place and the reaction mixture becomes blue. On cooling the mixture it becomes pink
\(\underset{\Large{pink}}{[Co(H_2O)_6]^{3+} (aq)} + 4Cl^-(aq) \rightleftharpoons \underset{\Large{blue}}{[CoCl_4]^{2-} (aq)} + 6H_2O(l)\)

On the basis of the information given above, mark the correct answer:

1. ∆ H > 0  for the reaction
2. ∆ H < 0  for the reaction
3. ∆ H = 0  for the reaction
4. The sign of  ∆ H  cannot be predicted on the basis of the given information.

The pH of neutral water at 25°C is 7.0. As the temperature increases, ionisation of water increases. However, the concentration of H+ ions and OH- ions is equal. What will be the pH of pure water at 60°C ?

1. Equal to 7.0 2. Greater than 7.0
3. Less than 7.0 4. Equal to zero

Ka1, Ka2 and Ka3 are the respective ionisation constants for the following reactions.
\(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{H}^{+}+\mathrm{HS}^{-}\)
\(\mathrm{HS}^{-} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{H}^{+}+\mathrm{S}^{2-}\)
\(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S} \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{H}^{+}+\mathrm{S}^{2-}\)
The correct relationship between Ka1, Ka2 and Ka3 is:
1. \(\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{a}_3}=\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{a}_1} \times \mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{a}_2} \)
2. \(\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{a}_3}=\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{a}_1}+\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{a}_2} \)
3. \(K_{a_3}=K_{a_1}-K_{a_2} \)
4. \(\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{a}_3}=\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{a}_1} / \mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{a}_2}\)

On increasing the pressure, the direction in which the gas phase reaction proceeds to re-establish equilibrium is predicted by applying Le-Chatelier's principle. Consider the reaction,

N2(g)+3H2(g)2NH3(g)

Which of the following is correct, if the total pressure at which the equilibrium is established is increased without changing the temperature?

1. K will remain the same.
2. K will decrease.
3. K will increase.
4. K will increase initially and then decrease, when pressure is very high.
