Question

The following questions test your understanding of the equilibrium constant and how the size of o determines the position of equilibrium.

Which of the following statements are True and which are False?

True False The smaller the value of o the larger the value of K.
True False Since G is zero at equilibrium, must also be zero, meaning that there is no driving force left for the reaction to proceed.
True False  A "dead" battery is a battery at equilibrium.
True False  The more of the reactants that are left when a reaction has reached equilibrium, the larger the value of K will be.
True False  The equilibrium constant, K, is calculated using the equilibrium concentrations or partial pressures of only the products.
True False  A large equilibrium constant means that the reaction tends to be non-spontaneous under standard conditions.

Explanation / Answer

False The smaller the value of o the larger the value of K.

True Since G is zero at equilibrium, must also be zero, meaning that there is no driving force left for the reaction to proceed.

True A "dead" battery is a battery at equilibrium

False  The more of the reactants that are left when a reaction has reached equilibrium, the larger the value of K will be.

False  The equilibrium constant, K, is calculated using the equilibrium concentrations or partial pressures of only the products.

False  A large equilibrium constant means that the reaction tends to be non-spontaneous under standard conditions.
