Le Chatelier and Equilibrium

An equilibrium constant with a large magnitude indicates…

• A very fast reaction
• More products at equilibrium
• More reactants at equilibrium
• nothing, without considering the stoichiometry of the reaction

Why is equilibrium called a dynamic state?

• Chemists try to convert as much reactants as possible into products.
• The reactions at equilibrium continue to take place once equilibrium is established.
• The products of a forward reaction are favored, so equilibrium lies to the right.
• All chemical reactions are considered to be reversible under suitable conditions.

At what time (in seconds) is equilibrium established?

• 0 seconds
• 1 second
• 5 seconds
• 10 seconds

Le Chaltelier's Principle states that if a chemical system at equilibrium is stressed,

• the system will adjust to increase the stress
• the system will adjust to reduce the stress
• the system will not adjust

When writing an endothermic reaction, heat energy is stated as

• product
• catalyst
• reactant

An exothermic reaction is allowed to reach equilibrium. If heat energy is then removed, the equilibrium will shift

• toward the middle
• toward the reactant side
• toward the product side

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.
