Q1 QUESTION 1 OF 32
For the reaction F2(g) ⇌ 2 F(g), the equilibrium constant at 223 °C is 7.3 x 10-13. If a sample of F2 is heated to
223 °C and allowed to reach equilibrium
CORRECT ANSWER
nearly all of F2 will remain unreacted, with a very small amount of F present
RATIONALE
A very small equilibrium constant indicates that the formation of products is highly unfavorable, favoring the
reactants instead; thus, at equilibrium, almost all of the F2 will remain unreacted, resulting in minimal F production.
This illustrates the principle of dynamic equilibrium where the concentrations of reactants and products stabilize at
a ratio dictated by the equilibrium constant.
Q2 QUESTION 2 OF 32
At equilibrium
CORRECT ANSWER
the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction and the concentration of the
reactants and products can be very different
RATIONALE
At equilibrium, dynamic stability occurs when the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal, allowing for
constant concentrations of reactants and products, although their absolute amounts may vary significantly. This
concept illustrates the principle of reversibility in chemical reactions, emphasizing that equilibrium does not imply
equal concentrations but rather a balance of reaction rates.
