What is a reversible reaction?
Reaction in both directions
Reversible reactions do not go to
completion
The equilibrium state is reached when the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are
equal
Match the feature with the type of reaction:
Equal forward and reverse rates ↔️ Equilibrium State
Reactants are entirely consumed ↔️ Reaction Going to Completion
Increasing the concentration of reactants shifts the equilibrium to favor the
products
Dynamic equilibrium is a static process.
False
What happens to the concentrations of reactants and products at equilibrium in a reversible reaction?
They remain constant
What is an example of a reversible reaction?

What type of reaction does an increase in temperature favor in equilibrium?
Endothermic reaction
In the Haber Process, what conditions favor ammonia formation?
High pressure, moderate temperature
In the Haber Process, high pressure and moderate temperature favor the formation of
ammonia
Reversible reactions reach a state of
dynamic equilibrium
.
True
Reversible reactions reach dynamic equilibrium, unlike
irreversible
reactions.
True
What happens to the concentrations of reactants and products at equilibrium?
Remain constant
What does Le Chatelier's Principle state?
System counteracts disturbances
What effect does increasing pressure have on equilibrium in a system with unequal gas molecules on each side?
Favors side with fewer molecules
What is the characteristic of a reaction that goes to completion?
Reactants are entirely consumed
Match the features with the correct reaction type:
Equal forward and reverse rates ↔️ Equilibrium State
Reactants are entirely consumed ↔️ Reaction Going to Completion
An irreversible reaction goes to
completion
Le Chatelier's Principle states that a system at
equilibrium
will shift to counteract any change in conditions.
True
Equilibrium shifts aim to re-establish the original
conditions
of the system.
True
Match the factors affecting equilibrium with their effects:
Concentration ↔️ Shifts equilibrium to favor products
Pressure ↔️ Favors the side with fewer gas molecules
Temperature ↔️ Favors the endothermic reaction
What is the effect of excess alcohol in esterification on the equilibrium position?
Favors product formation
What is the key difference between reversible and irreversible reactions in terms of direction?
Both forward and reverse vs. Only forward

At equilibrium, the forward and reverse reactions stop completely.
False
Le Chatelier's Principle applies only to systems at
equilibrium
.
True
Sequence the effects of changes on equilibrium according to Le Chatelier's Principle:
1️⃣ Increase in concentration of reactants
2️⃣ Equilibrium shifts to favor products
In reversible reactions, the equilibrium state is reached when the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are
equal
Arrange the following reaction types based on their completion status:
1️⃣ Irreversible reaction
2️⃣ Reversible reaction
Match the features with the correct reaction type:
Equal forward and reverse rates ↔️ Equilibrium State
Reactants are entirely consumed ↔️ Reaction Going to Completion
An increase in the concentration of reactants shifts the equilibrium to favor the
products
The position of dynamic equilibrium can be influenced by changes in concentration, pressure, and
temperature
Adding nitrogen in the
Haber Process
increases ammonia production.
True
