An equilibrium exists between NO2 and N2O4 in a gaseous system as

represented below:

2NO2(g) ⇌ N2O4(g)

NO2 (g) has an intense orange appearance whereas N2O4 (g) is colourless.

Heating this system at equilibrium increases the intensity of the orange colour.

From this information, the forward reaction would be classified as:

A) endothermic

B) exothermic

C) both exothermic and endothermic

D) neither exothermic nor endothermic

For the reaction in question (6), the value of the equilibrium constant

at 300K compared with that at 500K is:

A) Larger

B) The same

C) Smaller

D) Insufficient information for a comparison to be made

6. For the following reaction

N2 (g) + 3 H2 (g) 2NH3 (g) ∆𝐻𝐻 = −92𝑘𝑘𝑘𝑘

the equilibrium expression that is correct is:

( which is the correct answer)

The equilibrium constant for the reaction between gaseous hydrogen and

chlorine was found to be 5.7. Under the same conditions the equilibrium

constant for the reaction between gaseous hydrogen and fluorine was found

to be 18.4

From this information, it can be concluded that at equilibrium, under the same

conditions:

A) More HCl would form than HF

B) Less HCl would form than HF

C) The same amount of each would form

D) No such conclusions can be reached

( which one is the correct answer )

Comparing the solubility products of Mg(OH)2 and Ba(OH)2 (refer to data

sheet), the following conclusion can be made:

C) Hydroxides are all soluble

D) Hydroxides are all insoluble

Which of the following equilibrium systems will shift to produce a greater yield

of products when the volume of the container is increased, decreasing the

total pressure?

A) C(s) + O2(g) ⇌ CO2(g)

B) 2NO2(g) ⇌ N2O4(g)

C) N2(g) + 3H2(g) ⇌ 2NH3(g)

D) C(s) + NO2(g) ⇌ CO(g) + NO(g)

( which answer is correct )

An example of a system at dynamic equilibrium is:

A) the steady colour of the hottest Bunsen-burner flame

B) the steady temperature of water boiling in an open beaker

C) a piece of magnesium metal in a beaker of hydrochloric acid

D) a glass of water with a lid on it
