D. 2C H
2 2 (g) + 5O2 (g) 4CO2(g) +2H2O(g) ∆H = -284kJ
Answer:
When the temperature of the system lowered, the system will reduce the effect of the
decreasing temperature by releasing more heat. Thus, equilibrium position will shift
to the right in order to produce more heat.
When pressure of the system lowered, volume of the system increased. Thus,
reaction proceeds in which direction which has more number of moles of gaseous
molecules. Thus, equilibrium position will shift to the right.

conditions of pressure and temperature would be optimum for the synthesis?
A. Low T and low P
B. Low T and high P
C. High T and low P
D. High T and high P
Answer:
When the temperature of the system lowered, the system will reduce the effect of the
decreasing temperature by releasing more heat. Thus, equilibrium position will shift
to the right in order to produce more heat. Thus, equilibrium position will shift to the
right.
When pressure of the system increase, volume of the system decreased. Thus,
reaction proceeds in which direction which have fewer number of moles of gaseous
molecules.

Experimental data shows that the reaction shifts to the left at very cold temperatures.
Using this information, what type of reaction above.
A. Exothermic
B. Maxwell Boltzmann-like
C. Endergonic
D. Endothermic
Answer:
This is an application of Le Chatelier's Principle. When you take away heat from the
reaction, the reaction shifts toward the left in order to compensate from the heat loss.
Since the energy is on the reactant side, the reaction is endothermic.
27. Which of the following does not affect the equilibrium of a reaction?
A. Adding heat
B. Increasing the concentration of reactants

C. Removing heat
D. Adding a catalyst
Answer:
Le Chatelier's principle states that the concentration of reactants/products, the
addition/subtraction of heat, and changing the volume of a reaction would all be
factors that affect equilibrium. A catalyst alters the reaction rate without changing
equilibrium.
28. Consider the following reaction:

N2O4(g) 2NO2
Which of the following changes would be expected to drive the reaction to the left?
A. An increase in pressure
B. A decrease in pressure
C. Addition of water to the reaction mixture
D. Reducing the amount of NO2 in the reaction vessel
Answer:
According to Le Chatelier principle’s, Increasing pressure will cause the reaction
proceeds in irection which have fewer number of moles of gaseous molecules. So
the reaction proceed to the left.
29. In the reaction

2NO(g)+ Cl2 (g) 2NOCl(g)
If the pressure exerted by the equilibrium mixture of NO, Cl2, NOCl gases is reduced
at constant temperature, the system will reestablish equilibrium via
A. an addition of moles of Cl2
B. an increase of the NOCl concentration
C. an addition of moles of NOCl
D. an increase of equilibrium constant Kc
Answer:
When pressure of the system lowered, volume of the system increased. Thus,
reaction proceeds in which direction which has more number of moles of gaseous
molecules. Thus, equilibrium position will shift to the left.
