1. From the magnitude of the equilibrium constant, Keq one can deduce that
A. large Koq value indicates that the reaction reaches equilibrium with

very little reactants remaining

B. small Keq values indicate the reaction yields very higher amounts
of products near
equilibrium.
C. Keg will be larger when we have higher amounts of reactants over
products.
D intermediate Kea value indicates that the reaction does proceed in
the forward direction.

2 The statenment 'If a system at equilibrium is subjected to a stress, the system

will readjust itself to reduce the effects of the stress is known as
A. Avogadro's principle. C. Le-Chatelier's principle.
B Faradays law. D. Boyle's law.

3 The law of mass action states that

A. the Keq expression is the ratio of the concentrations of reactants to
the products raised to their coefficients.
B the rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the product of the
concentration of reactants raised to the power of their respective
coefficients in the balanced equation.
C for a reaction at equilibrium, the reaction quotient, Q is always less
than the equilibrium constant, Keq
D. chemical equil1brium is attained only when the reaction is started
with reactants.
