EQUILIBRIUM REACTIONS

Answer True or False for the following: Activation energy is the amount of energy reactants need in order to produce products.

Answer True or False for the following: A 10C increase in temperature increases the rate of most reactions.

Answer True or False for the following: If H is positive, then the forward reaction is exothermic.

Answer True or False for the following: Collision theory states that in order for reactants to make effective collisions they must have the proper orientation.

Answer True or False for the following: Pressure affects only solids and liquids.

Answer True or False for the following: An increase in temperature will decrease the rate of most reactions.

Answer True or False for the following: An increase in pressure favors the reaction that produces the least number of gas molecules.

Answer True or False for the following: The rates of most reactions cannot be changed by anything we can do.

Answer True or False for the following: Le Chatelier's Principle states that when a stress is put on a system at equilibrium, the equilibrium will shift to undo the stress.

Answer True or False for the following: If a system at equilibrium is subjected to an increase in temperature, the endothermic reaction will be favored.

EQUILIBRIUM REACTIONS
1. Which statement about chemical equilibria is true? The forward reaction is faster than the reverse reaction at equilibrium. The forward reaction is slower than the reverse reaction at equilibrium. The forward reaction and the reverse reaction do not stop at equilibrium.

2. Which statement is true about all equilibrium reactions? There are equal amounts of reactants and products in the equilibrium mixture. The equilibrium mixture contains more reactants than products. The amounts of products formed depend upon the concentration of the reactants.
