Temperature and Equilibrium Worksheet

Question 1

Which direction absorbs heat in the model?

1. Forward
2. Reverse
3. Both directions release heat.
4. Neither direction involves heat.

Question 2

The model starts at equilibrium. Explain why warming favors net formation of A until a new equilibrium is reached.

Question 3

Which change favors net production of B in the model?

1. Increase temperature.
2. Decrease temperature.
3. Keep every condition the same.
4. Stop counting particles.

Question 4

After a temperature change, how do the forward and reverse rates compare once the system reaches equilibrium again?

Question 5

At which listed temperature is the equilibrium count of B greatest?

1. 300 K
2. 350 K
3. 400 K
4. It is equal at all three.

Question 6
