Chemical Equilibrium

Such reactions which continue in both directions are called:

• Irreversible reactions

• Reversible reactions

• Non-reactive reactions

• dynamic reactions

2SO₂(g)+O₂(g)⇌2SO₃(g)
Removing O₂(g) will

• shift equilibrium right
• shift equilibrium left
• decrease temperature
• have no change

2SO₂(g)+O₂(g)⇌2SO₃(g)
Adding SO₂(g) will

• shift equilibrium right
• shift equilibrium left
• increase rate of reaction
• have no change

Changes in pressure will only affect substances that are in the __________ state.

• gaseous
• liquid
• solid
• plasma

2SO₂(g)+O₂(g)⇌2SO₃(g)
Decreasing volume of container will

• shift equilibrium right
• shift equilibrium left
• change K
• have no change

For the reaction...
heat  +  N₂  +  O₂  ↔  2NO
If the heat is added to the chemical system, the equilibrium will shift _______.

• left
• right
• left and right
• neither left nor right

Which of the following is NOT true at equilibrium?

• The forward and reverse reactions proceed at the same rate.
• The concentrations of reactants and products do not change.
• The concentration of the reactants is equal to the concentration of the products.
• The forward and reverse reactions continue to occur.

H₂(g)+Cl₂(g)⇌2HCl(g)

The forward reaction is exothermic. What will happen to the equilibrium if the temperature is increased?

• equilibrium shifts right

• equilibrium shifts left

• You cannot predict the effect

• no change

For the reaction...
heat  +  N₂  +  O₂  <−>  2NO
If  O₂ is removed, the  concentration of N₂ will _______.

• increase
• decrease
• remain the same
• double

For the reaction...
heat  +  N₂  +  O₂  <−>  2NO
If  NO is removed  from the system, the concentration of N₂ will _______.

• increase
• decrease
• remain the same
• double
