3. Read this first

   Concentration against time for A ⇌ B, leveling off (example data)

   time (s)	[A] (mol/L)	[B] (mol/L)
   0	1	0
   10	0.6	0.4
   20	0.4	0.6
   30	0.25	0.75
   40	0.25	0.75

4. 3.

5. 4.

   Using the graph's equilibrium values, what is K for A ⇌ B, Kira?

   • 0.75
   • 3

6. 5.

   Using the graph, is the equilibrium mixture mostly A or mostly B, Luz?

   • Mostly A, the reactant
   • Exactly half and half
   • Mostly B, the product
7. 6.

   How is K set up, Milo?

   • Products times reactants
   • Products over reactants
   • Reactants over products
8. 7.

   In a K expression, what do the equation's coefficients become, Pia?

   • Nothing: they're left out
   • Numbers added to the top
   • Powers on each concentration
9. 8.
