  • Q4

    What is meant by ‘dynamic equilibrium’?

    A reversible reaction occurring in a closed system with the forward and backward reactions occurring at the same constant. The concentrations of the reactants and the products remain rate

  • Q5

    What does Le Chatelier’s principle state?

    If any factor is changed which affects the equilibrium mixture, the position of the equilibrium will shift to oppose the change. 

    If any factor is changed which affects the equilibrium mixture, the position of the equilibrium will shift to exaggerate the change.

  • Q6

    If the backward reaction is favoured in an equilibrium mixture, which direction does the equilibrium position shift to?

    The equilibrium position shifts to the right – increasing the yield of the products.

    The equilibrium position shifts to the right – increasing the yield of the products.

    The equilibrium position shifts to the left – increasing the yield of the reactants.

  • Q8

    A + B ⇌ C + D

    If the concentration of C is increased– what happens to the equilibrium position?

    The backward reaction is favoured – the equilibrium position shifts to the left. This lowers the concentration of C.

    The forward reaction is favoured – the equilibrium position shifts to the left. This lowers the concentration of C.

    The forward reaction is favoured – the equilibrium position shifts to the left. This lowers the concentration of A.

    The forward reaction is favoured – the equilibrium position shifts to the right. This lowers the concentration of A.

  • Q10

    A + B ⇌ C + D

    If the concentration of B is decreased – what happens to the equilibrium position

    The forward reaction is favoured – the equilibrium position shifts to the left. This increases the concentration of B.

    The backward reaction is favoured – the equilibrium position shifts to the right. This increases the concentration of B.
