Reversible reactions
What is a reversible reaction?
A reaction that can proceed in both forward and reverse directions
Which of the following factors does not affect the extent of a reversible reaction?
Catalysts
What is the symbol used to represent a reversible reaction?

In a reversible reaction, which of the following statements is true?
The equilibrium position lies in the middle of the reactants and products
What happens to the concentration of reactants and products at equilibrium in a reversible reaction?
The concentrations of reactants and products remain constant
Which of the following statements is true about the equilibrium constant (K) for a reversible reaction?
K is a measure of the extent of the reaction
Which of the following factors affect the position of equilibrium in a reversible reaction?
Pressure
Temperature
What does it mean if a reversible reaction has a high equilibrium constant (K)?
The reaction is proceeding in the forward direction
Which of the following statements is true about Le Chatelier's principle?
Increasing the pressure of a system at equilibrium will shift the equilibrium towards the side with more moles of gas
Increasing the temperature of a system at equilibrium will shift the equilibrium towards the exothermic reaction
What is the significance of a reaction quotient (Q) value in a reversible reaction?
Q can be used to predict the direction in which a reaction will proceed to reach equilibrium
