Part A β€” Concept Questions

At dynamic equilibrium, why do concentrations stay constant?

Easy

Does Le Chatelier's principle predict that a disturbed equilibrium returns to its EXACT original state?

Medium

Part B β€” Formula & Application

For Hβ‚‚(g) + Iβ‚‚(g) β‡Œ 2HI(g), equilibrium concentrations are [Hβ‚‚] = 0.050 mol/L, [Iβ‚‚] = 0.050 mol/L, [HI] = 0.40 mol/L. Find Kc.

Medium

A reaction has Kc = 3.2 Γ— 10⁹. What does this indicate?

Medium

Part C β€” Problem Solving

For 2SOβ‚‚(g) + Oβ‚‚(g) β‡Œ 2SO₃(g), predict the effect of INCREASING pressure on the position of equilibrium.

Hard

For the equilibrium 2SOβ‚‚(g) + Oβ‚‚(g) β‡Œ 2SO₃(g), some SO₃ is removed from the container. Which direction does the equilibrium shift?

Hard

Part D β€” Real-Life Application

Haemoglobin binds oxygen in the lungs (high Oβ‚‚) and releases it in body tissues (low Oβ‚‚), via the equilibrium Hb + Oβ‚‚ β‡Œ HbOβ‚‚. What principle explains this?

Medium

Part E β€” Challenge

A system at equilibrium has its temperature changed, and a new equilibrium is reached. Does Kc necessarily stay the same?

Hard
