Question 6

For the reaction $$\mathrm{2SO_2(g) + O_2$(g) \rightleftharpoons 2SO_3(g)}$$, how will the equilibrium shift if the volume of the container is decreased?

Accepted Answer

The equilibrium will shift to the right, toward more $$\mathrm{SO_3$}.$$

Question 7

Which of the following is TRUE regarding the equilibrium constant $$K$$ for a reaction?

Accepted Answer

For the reaction $$\mathrm{C(s) + CO_2$(g) \rightleftharpoons 2CO(g)}$$, which substances are included in the equilibrium constant expression?

Accepted Answer

Only $$\mathrm{CO_2$}$$ and $$\mathrm{CO}.$$

Question 9

If the equilibrium constant for a reaction is $$K = 0.010$$, what is the equilibrium constant for the reverse reaction?

Accepted Answer

$$K = 100$$

Question 10

Which of the following best describes the effect of increasing temperature on an exothermic reaction at equilibrium?

Accepted Answer

The equilibrium shifts to the left and $$K$$ decreases.

Question 11

A reaction mixture at equilibrium contains $$[A] = 1.0\ \mathrm{M}. $$For the reaction $$2A \rightleftharpoons B$$, what is the concentration of $$B if$$ $$K = 2.0$$?

Accepted Answer

$$[B] = 2.0\ \mathrm{M}$$

Question 12

Which of the following is TRUE about the reaction quotient $$Q$$?

Accepted Answer

If $$Q \u003c K$$, the reaction will proceed in the forward direction.

Question 13

Which of the following disturbances will cause the equilibrium to shift to the right for the exothermic reaction $$2NOCl(g) \rightleftharpoons 2NO(g) + Cl_2$(g)$$?

Accepted Answer

Adding $$NOCl to $$the reaction mixture.

Question 15

For the reaction $$\mathrm{N_2$(g) + 3H_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2NH_3(g)}$$, what will happen if the volume of the container is increased?

Accepted Answer

The equilibrium will shift to the left, producing more $$\mathrm{N_2$}$$ and $$\mathrm{H_2$}.$$

Question 16

Which of the following is TRUE about the concentrations of pure solids and liquids in equilibrium expressions?

Accepted Answer

They are not included because their concentrations do not change.

Question 17

For the reaction $$\mathrm{A(g) + B(g) \rightleftharpoons C(g)}$$, $$K_p$$ and $$K_c$$ are equal under which condition?

Accepted Answer

When the total number of moles of gas is the same on both sides of the equation.
