5. Consider a general reversible reaction; A + B X +Y and answer the following questions. a. What happen to the concentration of reactants (A and B) and products (X and Y) when the reaction achieved chemical equilibrium? At equilibrium, the concentration of reactants and products do not change . Hence itis said to be in chemical equilibrium. Also at equilibrium, the rate of for ward reaction is equal to the rate of bacKward reaction: b. What will be rate of forward and backward reactions when the chemical equilibrium is achieved?

Consider an equilibrium mixture of four chemicals (A. B. C. and D. all gases) reacting in a closed flask according to the following equation: A+BC+Da. You add more A to the flask. How does the concentration of each chemical compare to its original concentration after equilibrium is re-established? Justify your answer. h. You have the original set-up at equilibrium, and add more D to the flask. How does the concentration of each chemical compare to its original concentration after equilibrium is re-established? Justify your answer.
. 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? What happens to the rates of the forward and reverse reactions as a system proceeds to equilibrium from a starting point where only reactants are present?
When writing a chemical equation for a reaction that comes to equilibrium. how do we indicate symbolically that the reaction is reversible?
Based on the diagrams, chemical reaction, and reaction conditions depicted in Problem 9-83, which of the diagrams represents the equilibrium mixture if the numerical value of the equilibrium constant is 9.0?
In each of the reactions, how does the equilibrium respond to an increase in pressure? (a) 2SO 2 ( g )+ O 2 ( g ) 2SO 3 ( g ) (b) H 2 ( g )+ I 2 ( g )2HI( g ) (c) 3H 2 ( g )+ N 2 2NH 3 ( g )

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.
Use Le Chteliers principle to predict the direction of the equilibrium shift in the following equilibria when the indicated stress is applied: a. Ag+(aq)+Cl(aq)AgCl(s); some Ag+ is removed. b. 2HI(g)+heatH2(g)+I2(g); the system is heated. c. 6Cu(s)+N2(g)+heat2Cu3N(s); the system is cooled and some N2 is removed.
Consider the reaction A+BC+D. A friend asks the following: “I know we have been told that if a mixture of A, B, C. and D is in equilibrium and more A is added, more C and D will form. But how can more C and D form if we do not add more B?” What do you tell your friend?
