Reversible reactions and dynamic equilibrium
Question
- A. It has no effect on the reaction.
- B. It can shift the position of equilibrium.
- C. It will stop the reaction completely.
- D. It will only affect the forward reaction.
Answer
It can shift the position of equilibrium.
Explanation
The correct answer is It can shift the position of equilibrium.. This answer directly addresses the question: What is the effect of changing conditions on a reversible reaction at equilibrium? It matches the approved Chemistry 8462 learning objective and the linked subtopic. The other options are incorrect because they either change the rate, catalyst, reversible reaction, equilibrium, or graph context, or they do not answer the exact point being tested.
Common mistake
Misunderstanding Equilibrium
Students often think that at equilibrium, the reactions have completely stopped.
Emphasize that equilibrium means the forward and reverse reactions continue at the same rate, maintaining constant concentrations of reactants and products.
