1. 1.

   At equilibrium for N₂O₄ ⇌ 2 NO₂, [N₂O₄] = 0.04 mol/L and [NO₂] = 0.1 mol/L. What is K, Ari?

   0.25
2. 2.

   At equilibrium for N₂O₄ ⇌ 2 NO₂, [N₂O₄] = 0.1 mol/L and [NO₂] = 0.05 mol/L. What is K, Esme?

   0.025
3. 3.

   Which is K for N₂ + 3 H₂ ⇌ 2 NH₃, Jun?

   • 2[NH₃] ÷ ([N₂] × 3[H₂])
   • [N₂][H₂]³ ÷ [NH₃]²
   • [NH₃]² ÷ ([N₂][H₂]³)
4. 4.

   Which is K for H₂ + I₂ ⇌ 2 HI, Kira?

   • [HI]² ÷ ([H₂][I₂])
   • ([H₂][I₂]) ÷ [HI]²
   • 2[HI] ÷ ([H₂][I₂])
5. 5.

   For a mixture, Q is smaller than K. Which way does the reaction go, Milo?

   • Forward, toward products
   • Neither way
   • Backward, toward reactants
6. 6.

   For a mixture, Q is larger than K. Which way does the reaction go, Noah?

   • Forward, toward products
   • Backward, toward reactants
   • Neither way
7. 7.

   For a mixture, Q equals K. What happens, Pia?

   • It speeds up in the forward direction
   • It runs backward fast
   • No net change: it's at equilibrium
8. 8.

   Extra reactant is added to a mixture at equilibrium. What happens, Ren?

   • Q rises above K; it shifts back
   • K rises to match Q
   • Q drops below K; it shifts forward
9. 9.

   Some product is removed from a mixture at equilibrium. What happens, Tala?

   • K falls
   • More reactant forms
   • More product forms
10. 10.

    Does adding reactant change the value of K, Zee?

    • Yes: K rises whenever reactant is added
    • No: K stays at the same temperature
    • Yes: K falls with more reactant
