Answers Fully Solved Graded A+
reversible reactions - correct answers a chemical reaction in which the products can react to re-form the
reactants
chemical equilibrium - correct answers when the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the
reverse reaction + the concentration of the products + reactants remain unchanged
reactant concentrations start high & _________ as the reaction proceeds. the forward rate, which
depends on collision of the reaction, decreases. - correct answers decreases
product concentrations start at zero & ________ as the reaction proceeds. the reverse rate, which
depends on collisions of the products, increases. - correct answers increases
eventually, the forward rate is equal to the reverse rate & the concentrations are CONSTANT. this is
______________ - correct answers equilibrium
le chateliers principle - correct answers when a system at equilibrium is placed under stress, the system
will undergo a change in such a way as to relieve that stress
factors that affect equilibrium - correct answers - concentration
- temperature
- pressure [for gaseous systems only!]
- presence of a catalyst
add more reactant ----> - correct answers shift to products
remove reactants ----> - correct answers shift to reactants
, add more product ----> - correct answers shift to reactants
remove products ----> - correct answers shift to products
if the volume of a gas mixture is compressed, the overall gas pressure will ______________. - correct
answers increase
reaction shift right when pressure __________ - correct answers increases
reaction shift left when pressure ___________ - correct answers decreases
inert substance - correct answers a substance that is not reactive with any species in the equilibrium
system
- do not affect the equilibrium system
- if the substance does react with a species at equilibrium, then there will be a shift
a catalyst has ___ effect on a system at equilibrium! - correct answers no
exothermic reactions favor _____ temperature conditions - correct answers low
endothermic reactions favor ______ temperature conditions - correct answers high
endothermic reactions
add heat ---> - correct answers shift to products
endothermic reactions
remove heat ----> - correct answers shift to reactants
