Indicate how the concentration of each species in the chemical equation will change to reestablish equilibrium after changing the concentration of the reactant or product. An up arrow indicates an increase in concentration, a down arrow indicates a decrease in concentration, and leaving it blank means there is no change in the concentration. H,(g) + Br,(g) 2HB1(g) after the concentration of H, is decreased after the concentration of HBr is increased Answer Bank

Explain that equilibrium is dynamic, and that at equilibrium the forward and backward reaction rates are equal.
How does equilibrium represent the balancing of opposing processes? Give an example of an “equilibrium” encountered in everyday life, showing how the processes involved oppose each other.
. Explain what it means that a reaction has reached a state of chemical equilibrium. Explain why equilibrium is a dynamic state: Does a reaction really “stop” when the system reaches a state of equilibrium? Explain why, once a chemical system has reached equilibrium, the concentrations of all reactants remain constant with time. Why does this constancy of concentration not contradict our picture of equilibrium as being dynamic? What happens to the rates of the forward and reverse reactions as a system proceeds to equilibrium from a starting point where only reactants are present?
Because calcium carbonate is a sink for CO32- in a lake, the student in Exercise 12.39 decides to go a step further and examine the equilibrium between carbonate ion and CaCOj. The reaction is Ca2+(aq) + COj2_(aq) ** CaCO,(s) The equilibrium constant for this reaction is 2.1 X 10*. If the initial calcium ion concentration is 0.02 AI and the carbonate concentration is 0.03 AI, what are the equilibrium concentrations of the ions? A student is simulating the carbonic acid—hydrogen carbonate equilibrium in a lake: H2COj(aq) H+(aq) + HCO}‘(aq) K = 4.4 X 10"7 She starts with 0.1000 AI carbonic acid. What are the concentrations of all species at equilibrium?
The experiment in Exercise 12.33 was redesigned so that the reaction started with 0.15 mol each of N2 and O2 being injected into a 1.0-L container at 2500 K. The equilibrium constant at 2500 K is 3.6 X 10“’. What was the composition of the reaction mixture after equilibrium was attained? The following reaction establishes equilibrium at 2000 K: N2(g) + O2(g) *2 2 NO K = 4.1 X IO-4 If the reaction began with 0.100 mol L-1 of N2 and 0.100 mol L-’ ofO2, what were the equilibrium concentrations of all species?
