Questions And Accurate Answers
For a reaction, what generally happens if the temperature is decreased? - correct answers A decrease in
k occurs, which results in a slower rate.
Define Le Chatelier's Principle. - correct answers When a chemical system at equilibrium is disturbed,
the system shifts in a direction that minimizes the disturbance.
Give the characteristic of a second-order reaction having only one reactant. - correct answers The rate
of the reaction is proportional to the square of the concentration of the reactant.
The equilibrium constant is given for one of the reactions below. Determine the value of the missing
equilibrium constant. 2 SO 2( g) + O 2( g) ⇌ 2 SO 3( g) K c = 1.7 × 10 6 SO 3( g) ⇌ 1/2 O 2( g) + SO 2( g) K
c = ? - correct answers 7.7 × 10 -4
Calculate P (NO) eq, if P (NOCl) eq = 0.35 atm, P (Cl 2)eq = 0.40 atm, and K p = 1.9 × 10 -2. 2 NOCl( g) ⇌ 2
NO( g) + Cl 2( g) - correct answers 0.076 atm

, Consider the following reaction at equilibrium. What effect will decreasing the temperature have on the
system? C 3H 8( g) + 5 O 2( g) ⇌ 3 CO 2( g) + 4 H 2O( l) ΔH° = -2220 kJ - correct answers The reaction will
shift to the right in the direction of products.
Consider the following reaction at equilibrium. What will happen if the volume decreased? 4 FeS 2( s) +
11 O 2( g) ⇌ 2 Fe 2O 3( s) + 8 SO 2( g) - correct answers The equilibrium will change in the direction of
the products.
Given the following proposed mechanism, predict the rate law for the overall reaction. A 2 + 2 B → 2 AB
(overall reaction)
Mechanism
A 2 ⇌ 2 A fast
A + B → AB slow - correct answers Rate = k[A 2] 1/2[B]
Define dynamic equilibrium. - correct answers the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the
reverse reaction
