Question 17 (1 point) If the chemical reaction below is at equilibrium, which of the following statements is FALSE? A + B ? C 1) The free energy available from the reaction is zero. 2) The rates of both the forward and reverse reactions are zero. 3) The concentration of reactants and products will remain the same over time. 4) During a 1-minute interval, many molecules of A and B may be converted to C, while about the same number of A and B molecules are produced by the breakdown of C.

Which of the following statements is true about chemical equilibrium? Select all that apply. At chemical equilibrium, the reactants have been completely consumed. At chemical equilibrium, the concentrations of the species involved in the reaction stay constant (in the absence of an external perturbation). At chemical equilibrium the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction. At chemical equilibrium, both reactions stop completely.

Which of the following statements is correct about for the chemical reaction shown with that has an equilibrium constant K >> 1? A + B ⇌ C + D At equilibrium the concentration of all species is equal ([A] = [B] = [C] = [D]). At equilibrium the reaction stops. At equilibrium the rates of the forward and revers reactions are zero. At equilibrium the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal.

Indicate whether each statement below is true or false. If a statcment is falsc, rewrite it to produce a closcly rclated statement that is true. (a) For a given reaction, the magnitude of the equilibrium constant is indcpcndent of tcmperature. (b) If there is an increase in entropy and a decrease in enthalpy when reactants in their standard statcs arc converted to products in their standard states, the equilibrium constant for the reaction will be negative. (c) The cquilibrium constant for the rcversc of a reaction is the reciprocal of the equilibrium constant for the reaction itself. (d) For the reaction $$ \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}(\ell) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\ell)+\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}(\mathrm{~g}) $$ the equilibrium constant is one-half the magnitude of the equilibrium constant for the reaction $$ 2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}(\ell) \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\ell)+\mathrm{O}_{2}(\mathrm{~g}) $$
