问题
Define the term reversible reaction.
查看答案
答案
A reversible reaction is a reaction that can occur in both directions: the forward reaction (which forms the products) and the reverse direction (which forms the reactants).
闪卡 2
问题
How are reversible reactions represented in chemical equations?
查看答案
答案
Reversible reactions are represented using two opposing arrows, ⇌.

问题
When ammonium chloride is heated, what are the products of the reaction?
查看答案
答案
When ammonium chloride is heated, ammonia and hydrogen chloride are formed.

问题
State what is observed when hydrated copper sulfate is heated.
查看答案
答案
When hydrated copper sulfate is heated the colour change is blue to white and colourless liquid (water) collects at the top of the test tube.

问题
What is an anhydrous salt?
查看答案
答案
Anhydrous salts are those that have lost their water of crystallisation.

问题
State the equation for the reversible reaction when hydrated copper(II) sulfate, CuSO4.5H2O, is heated.
查看答案
答案
The equation for the reversible reaction when copper(II) sulfate is heated is: CuSO4.5H2O ⇌ CuSO4 + 5H2O

问题
If the forward reaction of a reversible reaction is exothermic, what is the energy change of the reverse reaction?
查看答案
答案
If the forward reaction of a reversible reaction is exothermic, the reverse reaction is endothermic.

问题
Define the term dynamic equilibrium.
查看答案
答案
Dynamic equilibrium is where the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction, and the concentrations of reactants and products remain constant.
闪卡 9
问题
Define the term closed system.
查看答案
答案
A closed system is a system where none of the reactants or products can enter or leave the reaction vessel.
闪卡 10
问题
Define the term open system.
查看答案
答案
An open system is a system where the reactants or products can both enter or leave the reaction vessel.
闪卡 11
问题
True or False? Equilibrium can only be reached in a closed system.
查看答案
答案
True. Dynamic equilibrium can only occur in a closed system as none of the reactants or products are able to leave the reaction vessel

问题
In a reversible reaction, when is the concentration of the reactants the highest?
查看答案
答案
In a reversible reaction, the concentration of the reactants is highest at the start of the reaction.

问题
How does the rate of the reverse reaction change during a reversible reaction?
查看答案
答案
The rate of the backward reaction will increase until the system reaches dynamic equilibrium.

问题
True of False? Catalysts do not change the position of equilibrium.
查看答案
答案
True. Catalysts do not change the position of equilibrium.

问题
True or False? A catalysts only speeds up the rate of the forward reaction in a reversible reaction.
查看答案
答案
False. A catalyst speeds up the rate of both the forward and backward reactions.

问题
True or False? If the forward reaction is exothermic, the backward reaction is favoured by increasing the temperature.
查看答案
答案
True. If the forward reaction is exothermic, the backward reaction is favoured by increasing the temperature

问题
In the following system, would an increase or decrease in pressure favour the forward reaction? 2A + 2B ⇌ C + D
查看答案
答案
Increasing the pressure would favour the forward reaction. This is because there are 4 molecules on the left and side and 2 molecules on the right hand side. An increase in pressure will favour the side with the fewest number of molecules.

问题
If the forward reaction is endothermic, would a high or low temperature increase the yield of products?
查看答案
答案
If the forward reaction is endothermic, a high temperature would increase the yield of products. This is because the forward reaction is endothermic. A high temperature would favour the endothermic pathway to oppose the increase.

问题
True of False? An endothermic reaction is represented by the negative enthalpy change.
查看答案
答案
False. An endothermic reaction is represented by a positive enthalpy change.
