Question 1
What happens to a reversible reaction when the concentration of one reacting species is changed?
- AIts equilibrium is disturbed
- BIt always stops permanently
- CIt becomes irreversible
- DNothing can happen
Show answerHide answer
Answer: A
Changing the concentration of a reacting species disturbs the state of equilibrium.
Question 2
What happens when more nitrogen gas is added to the equilibrium mixture of N₂ + 3H₂ ⇌ 2NH₃?
- AMore ammonia is formed
- BMore nitrogen is formed
- CAmmonia decomposes completely
- DNo change occurs
Show answerHide answer
Answer: A
Adding nitrogen increases its concentration and causes the reaction to produce more ammonia to restore equilibrium.
Question 3
When more N₂ is added to N₂ + 3H₂ ⇌ 2NH₃ the equilibrium shifts in which direction?
- AForward direction
- BBackward direction
- CNeither direction
- DIt stops completely
Show answerHide answer
Answer: A
The added nitrogen is consumed by the forward reaction to form more ammonia.
Question 4
What happens immediately when the concentration of a reactant is increased at equilibrium?
- AThe equilibrium is disturbed
- BThe reaction stops
- CAll products disappear
- DThe reaction becomes irreversible
Show answerHide answer
Answer: A
Increasing a reactant concentration disturbs the existing equilibrium.
Question 5
How does the system respond after additional reactant is added?
- AIt consumes some of the added reactant
- BIt removes all products
- CIt stops both reactions
- DIt always decreases the amount of products
Show answerHide answer
Answer: A
The reaction proceeds toward products and consumes some of the added reactant until a new equilibrium is reached.
