Reversible Reactions

Question 1

What happens to a reversible reaction in a closed system?

Answer 1

It will eventually reach equilibrium

Question 2

What is equilibrium?

Answer 2

There is no effect as the forward and backward reactions happen at the same rate

Question 3

What happens if you increase temperature in a reversible reaction?

Answer 3

Endothermic reaction increases

Question 4

What happens if you decrease temperature in a reversible reaction?

Answer 4

Exothermic reaction increases

Question 5

What happens if you increase pressure in a reversible reaction?

Answer 5

Favour reaction which produces less volume

Question 6

What happens if you decrease pressure in a reversible reaction?

Answer 6

Favours reaction which produces more volume

Question 7

What is a reversible reaction?

Answer 7

One where products can react to produce the original reactants

Question 8

What do you have to also consider when deciding conditions of a reaction?

Answer 8

Cost and effect on rate of reaction
