The reaction below has reached equilibrium What will be the effect of adding CO2 to this system?
CO(g) + H2O(g) CO2(g) + H2(g)-The reverse reaction rate will be higher than the forward reaction rate until equilibrium is reached again.
What happens if you add energy to either side of a dynamic equilibrium?
Energy is always conserved in a chemical reaction. If heat of reaction is positive, the mixture gets heated and may require external cooling to continue the reaction in the forward direction. If the reaction is endothermic, i.e. heat of reaction is negative, the mixture gets cooled and may need external supply of heat to maintain the reaction in forward direction. When the reaction is at an equilibrium, the heat of reaction is either zero or the mixture has attained an equilibrium with some definite ratios of the reaction products. The total energy of the system is conserved.
Is it true that a change in pressure may affect the equilibrium position but has no effect on the equilibrium constant?
No.
When heat is increased does the chemical reaction speed up?
The effect of heat on a chemical reaction will depend on whether the chemical reaction is exothermic (producing heat), or endothermic (requiring an input of heat). If the reaction is endothermic, then adding heat will increase the speed, but the opposite is true for an exothermic reaction.
What does Le Chatelier's principle state?
A reaction at equilibrium will respond to balance a change - apex (Explanation): The answer is NOT "a new equilibrium ratio will form", because although this is true, it will not necessarily always happen and is not what le chatelier's principle is about. His principle focuses on the reaction changing to cancel out or balance the change in equilibrium. Therefore, this is the correct answer.
What effect does increasing the pressure have on this equilibrium?
the forwrd reaction is favored
How does adding more reactants effect equilibrium?
Le Chatelier's principle says that, when a equilibrium is disturbed by adding or removing one or more of the contents, the system will attain a new equilibrium to minimize its effect. So when reactants are added to the system, some of they will react and give products in order to gain the new equilibrium.
What is the effect of reactant concentration?
Generally, the higher the concentrations the faster the reaction. It does not push the reaction further past the equilibrium.
What is the effect of pressure and concentration on Kc and Kp values?
Kc is the equilibrium constant of a chemical reaction related to concentrations. Kp is the equilibrium constant of a chemical reaction related to pressures. Generally, in normal conditions the effect of temperature is not so important.
When a chemical reaction and it and reverse are occurring at the same time and at the same rate the reaction has achieved?
equilibrium
What effect does the removal of heat have on the equilibrium position?
The temperature of a reaction will entirely change th equilibrium position for any given reaction. If I'm right, as you increase the temperature, the equilibrium shifts closer to the endothermic reaction as there is more heat to consume. It may also, of course, change other properties of the substances involved in the reaction, but that depends on the chemicals.
Assuming that the reaction is at equilibrium what effect does the addition of a catalyst have on the equilibruim?
a catalyst lowers the activation energy for both the forward and reverse reaction. however, it does not change the potential energy of the reactants or products. it also does not affect the heat of reaction (delta h)
What is the effect of temperature on conversion value in cstr?
Temperature affects the conversion value in a CSTR in two ways: 1) it should increase the rate of conversion 2) it should shift the equilibrium of the reaction note that in shifting the equilibrium, it shifts the equilibrium of ALL reactions including side reactions which can be suppressed or promoted If the reaction is nearing equilibrium prior to exiting the reactor, the second effect can be very significant. Increasing the rate of conversion could allow faster throughput in the reactor with the same conversion - unless the effect on equilibrium shift is significant
Does carbon Dioxide effect the production of sugars?
Yes it does, based upon the principle called Equilibrium. As being a reagent in a chemical (and/or biochemical) reaction [anabolic or catabolic makes no difference], CO2's concentration will always produce an effect on the at-equilibrium concentrations of the products of the reaction, in this case sugars.
The reaction below has reached equilibrium What will be the effect of adding CO2 to this system?
CO(g) + H2O(g) CO2(g) + H2(g)-The reverse reaction rate will be higher than the forward reaction rate until equilibrium is reached again.
How does increasing temperature effect endothermic reaction?
You can use LeChatelier's Principle to solve this problem. For an endothermic reaction A+heat<-->B Thus, by increasing the heat, you are shifting the equilibrium towards the reactants. The reaction will adjust itself by shifting the equilibrium to the right (producing more of the product).
What correctly describes any chemical reaction that has reached equilibrium?
Forward and reverse reactions continue with no effect on the concentraction of the reactants and products.
