If heat is given to an endothermic reaction, the reaction will ________ not shift at all because equilibrium is independent of reaction rate not shift at all because equilibrium is independent of temperature shift towards the reactants shift towards the products
2. Which of the following is most similar to a system at equilibrium? * O a shift change at an assembly plant involving two crews of 100 employees O a popcorn maker when the popcorn starts to pop the water in a pool when swimmers start to splash water out of the pool a burning candle salt concentrations in the oceans
Catalysts affect reaction rates, but do not change either the equilibrium or the spontaneity of a reaction. True or False.
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?
The choices are: Reversible reaction, Le Châtelier’s principle, and Chemical equilibrium
MULTIPLE CHOICE Question 11 What does Le Châtelier's principle state? A Equilibrium cannot be re-established once it is disturbed. B A system at equilibrium will remain at equilibrium forever. A system will react to re-establish equilibrium if it is disturbed. A reaction will proceed to completion if equilibrium is disturbed.
According to le chatelier principle, which conditions may disturb the chemical equilibrium? select all that apply, if any heat or cool the reaction add more reactants change in pressure of the system
What le chatelier principle states? A. If a system is in equilibrium, it will remain in equilibrium in spite of changes in pressure or temperature b. If a chemical reaction is at equilibrium and experienced a change in pressure, temperature, or concentration of products or reactants, the equilibrium shifts in the opposite direction to the offset the change
At equilibrium, what is the rate of production of reactants compared with the rate of production of products? * much higher higher the same lower
4. What does a bi-directional arrow tell you about a chemical reaction? The reaction happens only once The reaction happens more than once The reaction is able to reverse O The reaction is at equilibrium
true or false? If a reversible reaction at equilibrium is exothermic and the tempature is raised the concentration of the products will increase
Which of the following cannot increase the rate of a reaction? Group of answer choices Increase the concentration of products. Add a catalyst. Increase the temperature. Increase the concentration of an aqueous or a gaseous reactant.
