1. What is meant by the term reversible reaction?
2. Explain the term dynamic equilibrium.
3. When the chemical equation for a system in equilibrium is written, what symbol is used to separate the reactants from the products?
doublearrows are used in equilibrium
4. Consider the following system at equilibrium:
$A + B \rightleftharpoons C$
a. According to Le Châtelier's Principle, what effect will increasing the amount of reactant A have upon the amount of product C? Will it increase the amount of C or decrease the amount of C?
b. In which direction did this increase in the amount of A shift the equilibrium? To the left, or to the right?
Shifts to the right
5. Consider the following system at equilibrium:
$D \rightleftharpoons E + F$
a. According to Le Châtelier's Principle, what effect will decreasing the amount of reactant D have upon the amount of product E? Will it increase the amount of E or decrease the amount of E?
b. In which direction did this decrease in the amount of D shift the equilibrium? To the left, or to the right?
