|---|---|
| The rate of a reaction is influenced by several factors. Predict how the reaction rate will change. When there is an increase in the temperature of the reaction, the reaction rate | increases |
| The rate of a reaction is influenced by several factors. Predict how the reaction rate will change. When there is an increase in the activation energy of the reaction, the reaction rate | decreases |
| T/F Adding a catalyst to a system at equilibrium will cause an increase in product concentraction. | false |
| T/F Adding a catalyst to a system not yet at equilibrium will cause equilibrium to be reached faster | true |
| T/F Adding a catalyst can cause an endothermic process to become exothermic. | false |
| T/F Adding a catalyst will cause the reverse reaction to run at a slower rate | false |
| For an equilibrium reaction in which kf is much greater than kr … | the reaction strongly favors products. |
| What statement is true about the role of a catalyst? | A catalyst offers an alternative reaction pathway with a lower activation energy. |
| What is/are equal once equilibrium is established? | the rates of the forward and reverse reactions |
| what is true about a reaction mechanism? | A rate law can be written from the molecularity of the slowest elementary step. A mechanism can never be proven to be the correct pathway for a reaction |
| An increase in the concentration of a catalyst will result in a(n) | no change |
| An increase in the concentration of compound Y will result in an ... in the activation energy of the reaction. | no change |
| what is fusion | combining 2+ light nuclei to form a heavier nuclei |
| what is fission | splitting a heavy nuclei |
| In which of the following situations will Keq change? | when temperature is changed |
| Consider the following reaction: CO(g) + 2 H2(g) ⇌ CH3OH(g) At room temperature, K is approximately 2 ×10^4, but at a higher temperature K is substantially smaller. Which of the following is true? | the reaction is exothermic |
| For an exothermic reaction: A(g) ⇌ B(g) + heat • Increasing the temperature results in a shift to the left. what does K do? | decreases in magnitude |
| For an endothermic reaction: heat + C(g) ⇌ D(g) • Increasing the temperature results in a shift to the right. What does K do? | increases in magnitude |
| For an exothermic reaction: A(g) ⇌ B(g) + heat • Decreasing the temperature results in a shift to the right. What does K do? | increases in magnitude |
| For an endothermic reaction: heat + C(g) ⇌ D(g) • Decreasing the temperature results in a shift to the left. what does K do? | decreases in magnitude |
