1. Does a chemical reaction always run its full course so that all the reactants are used up? 2. Does a reaction always proceed in the same direction or can it be reversed? In other words, does a reaction always proceed reactants products, or is it possible that a reaction will reverse and go products reactants? 3. Can a reaction reach a point where reactants are still present, but there does not seem to be any further change taking place in the reaction?

The reaction rate of a chemical reaction will increase as a result of changes made to the system, as long as those changes increase what factor? O Amount of empty space between reactants O Number of collisions between reactants O Electrical charge of the reactants O Atomic mass of the reactants
True or false? For chemical reactions that occurs in multiple steps, the fastest step in the reaction mechanism requires the most amount of energy to proceed.
Are chemical reactions reversible? In other words, is it possible the reverse the direction of a reaction to convert the reaction products back into reactants?
Sketch a qualitative reaction energy diagram for a chemical reaction with and without a catalyst. Assume the uncatalyzed reaction is exothermic. Note: Because the sketches are only qualitative, the energies in them don't have to be exact. They only have to have the right relationship to each other. For example, if one energy is less than another, that fact should be clear in your sketch.

Why does the rate of most reactions decrease over time? A. A decrease in reactant concentration reduces the frequency of successful collisions. B. A decrease in temperature reduces the average kinetic energy of the particles. C. An increase in product concentration interferes with the effectiveness of the catalyst. D. An increase in pressure of the system reduces the movement and energy of particles.

1. Reactions that occur in the gaseous state are affected by changing the volume of the container. Which choice best describes what will happen to the reaction if the volume of the container is decreased? The reaction will shift right. The reaction will shift left. The reaction will not change. The reaction will speed up.
