[CO]2[O2][C]2\frac{\left[CO\right]^2}{\left[O_2\right]\left[C\right]^2}  

c)

2[CO][O2][2C]\frac{2\left[CO\right]}{\left[O_2\right]\left[2C\right]}  

d)

5.

Le Chatelier's Principle states that:

a)

At equilibrium, the forward and reverse reaction rates are equal

b)

Stresses include changes in concentration, pressure, and temperature

c)

To relieve stress, solids and liquids are omitted from the equilibrium constant expression

d)

Chemical equilibria respond to reduce applied stress

6.

In an exothermic reaction, where heat is released, heat is considered a:

a)

Reactant

b)

Product

c)

It is not considered part of the reaction

7.

A certain reaction has an equilibrium constant of K = 0.0000578

a)

This reaction favors the products

b)

This reaction favors the reactants

c)

This reaction is equally favored in both directions

d)

This reaction is bad

8.

When is the rate of the forward reaction the greatest?

a)

At equilibrium

b)

In the beginning, when there are more reactants than products

c)

In the end, when there are more products than reactants

d)

Never

9.

What is static equilibrium?

a)

The same thing as static equilibrium.

b)

The static on the tv.

c)

Opposite reactions creating no net change.

d)

When something comes to a stop.

10.

How is chemical equilibrium different from static equilibrium?

a)

They are different

b)

Chemical equilibrium is when a reversible reaction stops completely, and static equilibrium is when a reversible reaction has equal rates of the forward and reverse reaction.

c)

Chemical equilibrium is when the rates of two opposite events are equal. Something is happening but there is no change. Static equilibrium is when something stops.

d)

There is no difference between them

11.

Consider this reversible reaction in equilibrium:

2 NO2(g) ↔N2O4(g) + Heat2\ NO_2\left(g\right)\ \leftrightarrow N_2O_4\left(g\right)\ +\ Heat  

How will the equilibrium shift if the temperature is increased (heat is added)?

a)

The reaction will shift left to make more reactants.

b)

The reaction will shift right to make more products

c)

Nothing will change

d)

The reaction will become cooler

12.

Consider the reaction:

2 NO2(g) ↔N2O4(g) + Heat2\ NO_2\left(g\right)\ \leftrightarrow N_2O_4\left(g\right)\ +\ Heat  

Where will the equilibrium shift of NO2NO_2  is removed?

a)

No change will occur

b)

The reaction will shift right to make more products

c)

The reaction will shift left to make more reactants

13.

Consider the following reaction:

2 NO2(g) ↔N2O4(g) + Heat2\ NO_2\left(g\right)\ \leftrightarrow N_2O_4\left(g\right)\ +\ Heat  

Where will the equilibrium shift if N2O4N_2O_4   is added?

a)

The reaction will shift right (to products)

b)

The reaction will shift left (to reactants)

c)

No change

14.

If a reversible reaction in equilibrium has equal amounts of gas on both sides, what will happen if the pressure is increased (aka the space is decreased)?

a)

To the side with less gas.

b)

To the sides will more gas.

c)

No change. There is no favored way to fix the equilibrium.

15.

What is an example of something going back to equilibrium? Doesn't have to do with chemistry.
