Question

The equilibrium N2(g) + O2(g) \(\rightleftharpoons\) 2NO(g), is an example of _____________

(a) homogeneous chemical equilibrium

(b) heterogeneous chemical equilibrium

(c) neither homogeneous nor heterogeneous

(d) both homogeneous and heterogeneous

I had been asked this question during an online interview.

The above asked question is from Homogeneous Equilibria topic in division Equilibrium of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer 1

The correct answer is (a) homogeneous chemical equilibrium

The explanation: In homogeneous equilibrium, the reactants and products are present in the same phase or physical state. Nitrogen, Oxygen, and nitrogen monoxide are present in a gaseous state, so it is homogeneous chemical equilibrium.
