  1. What is Le Châtelier’s Principle?     

  2.  

  3. How can you cause changes in the following?  How does a change in them affect equilibrium?
    •  

    • Concentration

    • Pressure

    • Temperature

     

     

  4. Why does a change in pressure caused by volume change result in a shift but not a pressure change cause by an inert gas addition?

  5.  

  6. Consider:

    2 NBr3 (s)
    N2 (g) + 3 Br2 (g)

    How would the reaction shift if….
    •  

    • The concentration of N2 is decreased?
    •  

    • The concentration of Br2 is increased?
    •  

    • The amount of NBr3 is doubled?

    • The pressure is decreased by changing the volume?
    •  

    • The pressure is increased by adding He(g)?

     

     

  7. Consider:

    aA + bB
    cC + dD

    Determine if the above reaction is endothermic or exothermic based on the following information:

    TEMPERATURE                    K
    150 K                                     0.0053
    500 K                                     12
    2000K                                    65
