Accepted Answer

Decrease the container volume

Question 5

Accepted Answer

The reaction is endothermic

Question 6

If a catalyst is added to the reaction $$	ext{CaCO}_3 (s) ightleftharpoons 	ext{CaO} (s) + 	ext{CO}_2 (g)$$, what happens?

Accepted Answer

The equilibrium position does not change but the rate increases

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Container A

Question 8

For the reaction $$4	ext{NH}_3 (g) + 3	ext{O}_2 (g) ightarrow 2	ext{N}_2 (g) + 6	ext{H}_2	ext{O} (g)$$, what is the effect of removing H$$_2O(g) $$from the system?

Accepted Answer

The reaction shifts to the right

Question 9

Which of the following changes will increase the yield of products for an exothermic reaction at equilibrium?

Accepted Answer

Question 10

For the reaction $$	ext{CH}_4 (g) + 	ext{F}_2 (g) ightleftharpoons 	ext{CF}_4 (g) + 	ext{HF} (g)$$, what is the effect of increasing the partial pressure of HF?

Accepted Answer

Shift to the left

Question 11

Which statement best describes the effect of decreasing the volume of a container for a reaction with more moles of gas on the reactant side?

Accepted Answer

The equilibrium shifts toward the side with fewer moles of gas

Question 12

For the reaction $$2	ext{A} (g) + 3	ext{B} (g) ightleftharpoons 	ext{C} (g)$$, what happens to the equilibrium if B is removed?

Question 14

For an endothermic reaction, which change will increase the equilibrium constant $$K$$?

Accepted Answer

Increase the temperature

Question 15

If the equilibrium constant $$K$$ for a reaction is very large, what does this indicate?

Accepted Answer

The reaction favors products
