QUESTION 2 Which of the following statements is TRUE? O A reaction quotient (Q) larger than the equilibrium constant (K) means that the reaction will favour the production of more products. O Dynamic equilibrium indicates that the amount of reactants and products are equal. O Dynamic equilibrium is established when K= 0. O Dynamic equilibrium occurs when the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction. The equilibrium constant for the forward reaction is equal to the equilibrium constant for the reverse reaction.

During an experiment with the Haber process, a researcher put 1 mol N2 and 1 mol H2 into a reaction vessel to observe the equilibrium formation of ammonia, NH3. N2(g)+3H2(g)2NH3(g) When these reactants come to equilibrium, assume that x mol H2 react. How many moles of ammonia form?
Explain that equilibrium is dynamic, and that at equilibrium the forward and backward reaction rates are equal.
In Section 13.1 of your text, it is mentioned that equilibrium is reached in a closed system. What is meant by the term closed system. and why is it necessary to have a closed system in order for a system to reach equilibrium? Explain why equilibrium is not reached in an open system.
. Explain what it means that a reaction has reached a state of chemical equilibrium. Explain why equilibrium is a dynamic state: Does a reaction really “stop” when the system reaches a state of equilibrium? Explain why, once a chemical system has reached equilibrium, the concentrations of all reactants remain constant with time. Why does this constancy of concentration not contradict our picture of equilibrium as being dynamic?
