A E R A S I H T N I E T I R W T O N O D SECTION C Answer ALL the questions. Write your answers in the spaces provided. 24 Nitrosyl chloride, NOCl, is a yellow gas which decomposes on heating. 2NOCl(g) (cid:96)(cid:95) 2NO(g) + Cl2(g) (a) A sample of 2.00 mol of NOCl was heated in a sealed vessel to a certain temperature, T. The volume of the vessel was 5.00 dm3. When equilibrium was reached, 0.220 mol of NO had been formed. (i) Write the expression for the equilibrium constant, Kc, for this reaction. *(ii) Calculate the value of Kc under these conditions. Include units in your answer.

 *(iii) The volume of the vessel containing the equilibrium mixture in (a) was doubled to 10 dm3, keeping the temperature constant. State the effect of this change in volume on the value of Kc and on the number of moles of NO at equilibrium. A calculation is not required but justify your answers. (2)D O N O T W R I T E I N T H I S A R E A(b) (i) Some data about nitrosyl chloride is given in the table. Complete the table with the data for nitrogen(II) oxide and chlorine, using the Data Booklet where appropriate.
