At equilibrium, the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the
reverse
reaction
True
What is the reverse reaction in a reversible reaction?
Products form reactants
Order the steps in a reversible reaction at equilibrium:
1️⃣ Reactants → Products
2️⃣ Products → Reactants
3️⃣ Rate of forward reaction = Rate of reverse reaction
4️⃣ Concentrations of reactants and products remain constant
What is dynamic equilibrium?
Forward and reverse reactions occur at the same rate
At equilibrium, the
concentrations
of reactants and products remain constant
True
What is dynamic equilibrium?
Forward and reverse reactions occur at the same rate
Order the steps in a reversible reaction:
1️⃣ Reactants form products
2️⃣ Products form reactants
3️⃣ Equilibrium is reached
Match the key aspect of dynamic equilibrium with its description:
Rate of Reaction ↔️ Forward rate = Reverse rate
Concentrations ↔️ Remain constant
Nature ↔️ Not static, reactions continue
Dynamic equilibrium is static, meaning no reactions are occurring.
False
An increase in temperature for an exothermic reaction shifts
equilibrium
towards reactants.
True
How does increasing temperature affect the equilibrium of an exothermic reaction?
Shifts towards reactants
What happens to the equilibrium in the reaction N2(g) + 3H2(g) ⇌ 2NH3(g) when pressure is decreased?
Shifts towards reactants
At equilibrium in a reversible reaction, the rates of the forward and
reverse
reactions are equal.
True
Match the reaction type with its description:
Forward Reaction ↔️ Reactants → Products
Reverse Reaction ↔️ Products → Reactants
In a reversible reaction,
reactants
always form products.
True
Match the reaction direction with its description:
Forward Reaction ↔️ Reactants → Products
Reverse Reaction ↔️ Products → Reactants
What occurs in a reversible reaction at dynamic equilibrium?
Forward and reverse rates are equal
What happens to equilibrium when the concentration of reactants is increased?
Shifts toward products
What do catalysts lower to speed up a reaction?
Activation energy
What is a reversible reaction?
Products form original reactants
In a
reversible reaction
, there are two reactions that can occur
True
At equilibrium, the rates of the forward and
reverse
reactions are equal
True
In a closed system at equilibrium, the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the
reverse reaction
True
In dynamic equilibrium, both the forward and reverse reactions are continuously
happening
In a closed system, matter or energy can enter or leave the system.
False
In an exothermic reaction, increasing temperature shifts the
equilibrium
towards the reactants.
True
In a closed system at equilibrium, the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the
reverse
In dynamic equilibrium, the forward reaction rate equals the reverse reaction
rate
In Le Chatelier's principle, a change in concentration causes a shift to consume excess or produce deficient
substances
Compressing a gaseous system at equilibrium shifts it towards the side with fewer gas
molecules
Increasing pressure in a system with gases at equilibrium shifts the equilibrium towards the side with fewer gas
molecules
What is a reversible reaction?
Products form original reactants
What is the reverse reaction in N2(g) + 3H2(g) ⇌ 2NH3(g)?
2NH3(g) → N2(g) + 3H2(g)
What is the term for the reaction that occurs in the forward direction in a reversible reaction?
Forward reaction
What is a reversible reaction?
Reaction in both directions
In a closed system at equilibrium, the
concentrations
of reactants and products remain constant.
True
What does Le Chatelier's principle state?
System opposes change
In the exothermic Haber process, lower temperatures favor ammonia production.
True
Match the factor with its effect on equilibrium:
Temperature ↔️ Shifts based on exothermic or endothermic
Pressure ↔️ Shifts to fewer gas molecules
Concentration ↔️ Shifts to balance
At equilibrium, the concentrations of reactants and products remain
constant
