Cards (32)

  • For an exothermic reaction, raising the temperature shifts the equilibrium towards the reactants.

    True
  • Arrange the following stresses in the order they affect equilibrium according to Le Châtelier's Principle:
    1️⃣ Increase in Reactants
    2️⃣ Increase in Products
    3️⃣ Increase in Temperature (Endothermic)
    4️⃣ Increase in Temperature (Exothermic)
    5️⃣ Increase in Pressure
  • Temperature changes affect equilibrium based on whether a reaction is exothermic or endothermic.
  • Increasing pressure in a system at equilibrium shifts it towards the side with fewer moles of gas.

    True
  • Temperature changes affect equilibrium differently depending on whether the reaction is exothermic or endothermic.

    True
  • How does a temperature change affect equilibrium in an exothermic reaction?
    Depends on temperature change
  • Arrange the steps in how concentration changes affect equilibrium according to Le Châtelier's Principle.
    1️⃣ Increase reactants
    2️⃣ Equilibrium shifts right
    3️⃣ Produce more products
  • Decreasing the temperature in an exothermic reaction favors the formation of products.
    True
  • How does increasing pressure affect the equilibrium in a reaction with gases?
    Shifts towards fewer moles
  • Adding an inert gas to a system at equilibrium increases the total pressure but does not change the partial pressures of reactants or products.
  • What does Le Châtelier's Principle state about a system at equilibrium when stressed?
    It shifts to counteract the stress
  • If you add more reactants in the reaction H₂ + I₂ ⇌ 2HI, the equilibrium will shift to the right
  • In the reaction N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) ⇌ 2NH₃(g), adding more N₂ will shift the equilibrium to the right
  • What happens to equilibrium if the concentration of reactants is increased?
    It shifts to the right
  • What happens to equilibrium in an endothermic reaction if the temperature is increased?
    It shifts to the right
  • Le Châtelier's Principle states that if a stress is applied to a system at equilibrium, the system will shift to counteract the stress.
  • When a system at equilibrium experiences a concentration change, the equilibrium shifts towards the side that minimizes the stress
  • In the reaction H₂ + I₂ ⇌ 2HI, what happens to the equilibrium if more H₂ is added?
    Shifts to the right
  • What happens to the equilibrium in an exothermic reaction if the temperature increases?
    Shifts to the left
  • For the exothermic reaction N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) ⇌ 2NH₃(g) + Heat, what happens to the equilibrium if the temperature is lowered?
    Shifts to the right
  • What is an inert gas and how does it affect equilibrium?
    No reaction, unaffected
  • In the endothermic reaction N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) + heat ⇌ 2NH₃(g), what happens to the equilibrium if the temperature is increased?
    Shifts to the right
  • Decreasing reactants in an equilibrium system shifts the equilibrium to the left.

    True
  • Increasing pressure in a system at equilibrium shifts it towards the side with fewer moles of gas.
    True
  • In an exothermic reaction, increasing the temperature shifts the equilibrium to the left.

    True
  • What happens to equilibrium if the volume of a system at equilibrium is increased?
    It shifts towards more moles of gas
  • What is Le Châtelier's Principle?
    Counteract stress and restore equilibrium
  • A pressure change in an equilibrium system shifts towards the side with fewer moles of gas.

    True
  • In the reaction N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) ⇌ 2NH₃(g), what happens to the equilibrium if more N₂ is added?
    Shifts to the right
  • In the endothermic reaction \text{Heat} + CaCO_3(s) \rightleftharpoons CaO(s) + CO_2(g)</latex>, increasing the temperature shifts the equilibrium to the right
  • Decreasing the volume of a system at equilibrium will shift the equilibrium towards fewer moles of gas.

    True
  • In the reaction H₂(g) + I₂(g) ⇌ 2HI(g), adding more H₂ shifts the equilibrium to the right.
