Equilibrium Disturbances

Mr. Anderson explains equilibrium disturbances in reversible reactions, focusing on how temperature affects equilibrium constants. He uses the Haber process to illustrate changes in Q and K values, demonstrating how disturbances can shift equilibrium. The video also covers the impact of temperature on endothermic and exothermic reactions, highlighting Le Chatelier's principle.

What happens to the color of the cobalt solution when the reaction is pushed to the right?

• It turns green.

• It turns yellow.

• It turns blue.

• It turns red.

In the Haber process, what is the initial step to calculate the equilibrium constant (K)?

• Add the concentrations of reactants.

• Subtract the concentration of reactants from products.

• Multiply the concentrations of products.

• Divide the concentration of products by reactants.

What is the effect of increasing temperature on an endothermic reaction's equilibrium constant (K)?

• K becomes zero.

• K increases.

• K remains unchanged.

• K decreases.

How does decreasing temperature affect the equilibrium position in an endothermic reaction?

• Shifts to the left.

• Shifts to the right.

• Remains unchanged.

• Becomes unstable.

In an exothermic reaction like the Haber process, what happens to the equilibrium constant (K) when temperature is increased?

• K remains the same.

• K decreases.

• K increases.

• K becomes negative.

What is the effect of increasing temperature on the yield of ammonia in the Haber process?

• Yield becomes zero.

• Yield increases.

• Yield decreases.

• Yield remains constant.

To increase the yield of ammonia in the Haber process, what should be done to the temperature?

• Increase the temperature.

• Decrease the temperature.

• Keep the temperature constant.

• Fluctuate the temperature.
