Questions and Answers

In chemical equilibrium, what does it mean when the equilibrium position is 'far to the right'?

  • Hardly any product is formed from the reactants at equilibrium
  • Nearly all the reactants are consumed at equilibrium (correct)
  • The forward reaction proceeds at a much faster rate than the reverse reaction
  • The reverse reaction proceeds at a much faster rate than the forward reaction

    • What is the condition for a reaction mixture to exist at equilibrium?

  • The forward reaction rate must be greater than the backward reaction rate
  • The rates of the forward and backward reactions must be zero
  • The rates of the forward and backward reactions must be equal (correct)
  • The backward reaction rate must be greater than the forward reaction rate

    • What is the state of a system at chemical equilibrium?

  • The reactants and products are absent
  • The reverse reaction completely consumes the products
  • No observable change in the properties of the system (correct)
  • The forward reaction completely consumes the reactants

    Study Notes

    Chemical Equilibrium

    • When the equilibrium position is 'far to the right', it means the reaction has proceeded almost to completion, with nearly all reactants converted to products.
    • A reaction mixture exists at equilibrium when the rates of forward and reverse reactions are equal, with no net change in composition.
    • At chemical equilibrium, the state of a system is dynamic, with forward and reverse reactions occurring simultaneously, but at equal rates.

    Development of Chemical Equilibrium Concept

    • Berthollet discovered that some chemical reactions are reversible, leading to the development of the concept of chemical equilibrium.

    Equilibrium Position

    • When the equilibrium position is 'far to the left', it means the reaction has hardly proceeded, with most reactants remaining unreacted.
