Determine whether each of the following statements is true or false and if false

Question

Determine whether each of the following statements is true or false and if false, explain why.

a) The equilibrium constant for a reaction equals the rate constant for the forward reaction divided by the rate constant for the reverse reaction.

b) In a reaction that is a series of equilibrium steps, the overall equilibrium constant is equal to the product of all the forward rate constants divided by the product of all the reverse rate constants.

c) Increasing the concentration of a product increases the rate of the reverse reaction, and so the rate of the forward reaction must then increase, too.

Explanation / Answer

Statement (a) is correct. (Keq = Kf/Kr)

                   (b) is correct
