CHEMICAL EQUILIBRIA

Question 1

State which the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal and the concentrations of the reactants remain constant.

Answer 1

CHEMICAL EQUILIBRIUM

Question 2

dynamic process, conversion of reactants to products and products to reactants

Answer 2

EQUILIBRIUM

Question 3

the expression obtained by multiplying the product concentrations and dividing by the multiplied reactant concentrations, with each concentration raised to a power presented by the coefficient in the balanced equation.

Answer 3

EQUILIBRIUM EXPRESSION

Question 4

the value obtained when equilibrium concentrations of the chemical species are substituted in the equilibrium expression.

Answer 4

EQUILIBRIUM CONSTANT

Question 5

a reaction where all of the products and reactants are in the physical same state.

Answer 5

HOMOGENOUS EQUILIBRIUM

Question 6

a reaction involving reactants and products in more than one phase.

Answer 6

HETEROGENOUS EQUILIBRIUM

Question 7

if a system at equilibrium is disturbed by external stress, the system adjusts to partially offset the stress as the system attains a new equilibrium position.

Answer 7

Le Chatelier’s Principle

Question 8

French chemist who proposed Le Chatelier’s principle.

Answer 8

Henry-Louise Le Chatelier (1850-1936)

Question 9

addition of more product substances

Answer 9

shift equilibrium to the left

Question 10

addition of more reactant substances

Answer 10

shift to the right

Question 11

either speed up or retard the rate at which equilibrium is attained by affecting the rates of both the forward and the backward reacts

Answer 11

CATALYST

Question 12

the equilibrium constant for a solid substance dissolving in an aqueous solution

Answer 12
