Questions and Answers

Consider a reaction at equilibrium in a closed system. If the concentration of a gaseous reactant is increased, how will the equilibrium shift according to Le Chatelier's Principle?

  • The equilibrium will shift to favor the formation of more reactants.
  • The equilibrium will shift to decrease the total pressure of the system.
  • The equilibrium will not shift, as the change in concentration only affects the rate of the reaction.
  • The equilibrium will shift to favor the formation of more products. (correct)

For a certain chemical reaction, the enthalpy change ($\Delta H$) is positive and the entropy change ($\Delta S$) is negative. Under what temperature conditions, if any, will this reaction be spontaneous?

  • The reaction will be spontaneous only at low temperatures.
  • The reaction will be spontaneous at all temperatures.
  • The reaction will be non-spontaneous at all temperatures. (correct)
  • The reaction will be spontaneous only at high temperatures.

Which of the following changes will likely increase the rate of a chemical reaction the most, assuming all other factors remain constant?

  • Decreasing the concentration of the reactants.
  • Decreasing the temperature of the reaction mixture.
  • Adding a catalyst to the reaction mixture. (correct)
  • Decreasing the surface area of a solid reactant.
