A burning splint will burn more vigorously in pure oxygen than in air because A) oxygen is a reactant in combustion and concentration of oxygen is higher in pure oxygen than is in air. B) oxygen is a catalyst for combustion. C) oxygen is a product of combustion. D) nitrogen is a product of combustion and the system reaches equilibrium at a lower temperature.

A system is considered to be at equilibrium. Which statement must be true? a) The reaction has stopped. b) The products and reactants are now equal in concentration. c) The reaction equilibrium state cannot be altered. d) There is no net change in the amount of reactant or product.
A student states that an equilibrium system is when the amount of reactants and products are equal. Is this true or false? Explain.
Which of the following occurs when reactants are removed from a chemical reaction in solution or the gas phase at equilibrium? * O Product increases, so the equilibrium shifts to produce more products. O Reactant increases, so the equilibrium shifts to produce more products. O Reactants decreases, so the equilibrium shifts to produce more reactants. O Product decreases, so the equilibrium shifts to produce more reactants. The reaction [20 CO2 + 22 H:O → 2 Cz0H22 + 31 O:], in general terms, is: Reversible O Irreversible The reaction [N:O: = 2 NO: ], in general terms, is: * Reversible Irreversible
