  1. Question 1

    Which symbol represents a reversible reaction?

    • A→
    • B⇌
    • C=
    • D↑
    Show answer

    Answer: B

    The symbol ⇌ indicates that a reaction can proceed in both forward and backward directions.

  2. Question 2

    What is the defining condition of dynamic equilibrium?

    • AThe reaction stops
    • BReactants disappear
    • CForward and backward reaction rates are equal
    • DOnly products remain
    Show answer

    Answer: C

    At dynamic equilibrium both reactions continue but their rates are equal.

  3. Question 3

    In a closed system why does a reversible reaction usually not go completely to products?

    • AProducts can react in the reverse direction
    • BReactants cannot collide
    • CProducts always escape
    • DThe catalyst stops the reaction
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    Products remain in the closed system and can participate in the reverse reaction.

  4. Question 4

    What happens to the concentrations of reactants and products at equilibrium?

    • AThey continuously increase
    • BThey continuously decrease
    • CThey remain constant
    • DThey become zero
    Show answer

    Answer: C

    At equilibrium concentrations remain constant although the reactions continue.

  5. Question 5

    What happens when a product is removed from a reversible equilibrium?

    • AEquilibrium shifts toward the products
    • BEquilibrium shifts toward the reactants
    • CThe reaction stops
    • DNo reaction occurs
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    Removing a product causes the system to form more product to restore equilibrium.
