Equilibrium
How would increasing temperature most likely affect the equilibrium concentrations of reactants and products in an exothermic reaction at constant volume?
Change concentration based solely on changes in total pressure
Decrease concentration of products while increasing concentration of reactants
No effect on either concentration since volume is constant
Increase concentration of both reactants and products equally
In what kind of solid do cations float within a sea of delocalized electrons?
Covalent network solid
Metallic Solid
Ionic Solid
Molecular Solid
When designing an experiment to explore pressure's effects on gas-phase equilibria, what prediction could be made about shifting equilibrium when pressure is increased by decreasing volume for a reaction with more moles of gaseous reactants than gaseous products?
The shift will favor reactant formation because there are more molecules present initially.
No shift occurs since both sides have gases whose pressures are affected equally by volume changes.
The shift will favor product formation due to fewer moles on that side according to Le Chatelier’s principle.
Pressure changes have no effect on reactions involving solids or liquids only.
Why can we approximate a + x or a - x to be just 'a' in an ICE Box problem according to AP Chemistry guidelines?
Because 'x' is much much less than 'a'
Because 'a' equals zero
Because 'x' equals zero
Because it simplifies calculations without changing results significantly
Which scenario correctly defines the requirement necessary for establishing dynamic chemical equilibration within a closed container filled solely with Hydrochloric acid gas (HCl(g)) decomposing into Hydrogen chloride (H) plus Chlorine (Cl)?
At least half of the starting material should remain unreacted to ensure a steady supply of ongoing processes.
Both decomposition and synthesis rates must become identical over time, maintaining constant amounts of each substance present.
The system must lose some mass via leakage to secure continuous operation under non-equilibrium conditions.
One reaction needs to reach a point where all the original HCl is decomposed, leaving only the components behind.
Which compound would have atoms arranged in a trigonal planar shape around each central carbon atom according to VSEPR theory?
PCl5
BF3
CH4
NH3
In Le Chatelier's principle, what effect does decreasing pressure have on an equilibrium involving gases?
[Shifts toward side with more moles gas]
['Shifts toward side with fewer moles gas']
['Only affects solids and liquids, so no shift would occur']
['No shift occurs when pressure decreases']

For a reaction where ΔG° < 0 at standard conditions, what would be expected if Q > K under non-standard conditions?
The reaction stops because Q is no longer less than K.
The reaction proceeds in reverse to reach equilibrium, decreasing Q towards K's value.
There is no change in the direction of the reaction; it continues forward until Q equals K.
The equilibrium shifts towards products, increasing Q further from K.
In a reaction where the temperature remains constant across stirring and equilibrium stages but the rate constant k decreases suddenly upon adding a catalyst, how does this affect Keq?
Keq does not change because the catalyst does not alter the position of equilibrium.
Keq increases since the catalyst heightens reaction speed leading to more product formation.
Keq decreases because the catalyst reduces activation energy favoring reactants over products.
Keq remains constant but only until reactant consumption rate equals production rate of products.
What happens overall when you add more solid sodium chloride (NaCl(s)) into water already containing dissolved NaCl at its saturation point?
Additional NaCl precipitates out until reaching undissolved amount equals original saturation level.
Solution becomes unsaturated temporarily causing quicker dissolution until back at saturation point.
One ions dissociate further increasing Na+ & Cl- concentration until new saturation point reached.
Nothing changes because solids do not affect their own solubility equilibria once saturated.
