1 Which statement describes a carbonated beverage at equilibrium (in a soft drink bottle)?
The contents are in a closed system and have constant macroscopic properties.
The contents are in a closed system and have variable macroscopic properties.
The contents are in an open system and have constant macroscopic properties.
The contents are in an open system and have variable macroscopic properties.

2 A student prepares a sugar solution by placing 100 g of solid sugar in a flask, adding 200 mL of distilled water, then placing a stopper in the flask and shaking the flask vigorously. A macroscopic property that indicates that the system is at equilibrium is that the
rate of precipitation equals the rate of crystallizing
rate of dissolving equals the rate of crystallizing
amount of undissolved sugar gradually decreases
amount of undissolved sugar remains constant

3 The statement, "If a system is subjected to stress, the system acts to relieve the effects of the stress", is known as
the Arrhenius theory
the Brønsted-Lowry theory
the Lewis theory
Le Châtelier's principle

4 The hypothetical equilibrium reaction represented by the equation that follows.

BA(s) + 2 X(g)<---------> B(l) + X2A(g) + energy

This reaction can be shifted to increase the yield of products by adding
B(l)
X(g)
BA(s)
X2A(g)

1.6 x 10-2 mol/L
3.1 x 10-13 mol/L
1.5 x 10-14 mol/L

7 A pH meter used to test a freshly opened carbonated soft drink gives a reading of 2.14, corresponding to a [H +(aq)] of
7.2 x 10-2 mol/L
3.1 x 10-3 mol/L

The following closed system is in dynamic equilibrium:


PCl5(g) <------> PCl3(g) + Cl2(g) delta-H = +169.9 kJ/mol

If the temperature of this system is increased at constant pressure, the changes in concentrations would be
[PCl5] increased, [PCl3] and [Cl2] decreased
[PCl5] and [Cl2] increased, [PCl3] decreased
[PCl3] and [Cl2] increased, [PCl5] decreased
[Cl2] increased, [PCl3] and [PCl5] decreased

9 For the following reaction the equilibrium concentrations at a given temperature are [NO(g)] = 1.0 mol/L, [O2(g)] = 6.0 mol/L, [NO2(g)] = 2.0 mol/L:

2NO(g) + O2(g) <-------> 2NO2(g)
