Grade 10 Science Worksheet - Challenge Me

Circle the best answer, or write your answer on the line.

  1. At equilibrium for H₂ + I₂ ⇌ 2 HI, [H₂] = 0.1, [I₂] = 0.1 and [HI] = 0.7 mol/L. What is K, Ari?

  2. At equilibrium for H₂ + I₂ ⇌ 2 HI, [H₂] = 0.04, [I₂] = 0.04 and [HI] = 0.2 mol/L. What is K, Esme?

  3. H₂ + I₂ ⇌ 2 HI has K = 50 at 400 °C. What is K for 2 HI ⇌ H₂ + I₂ at 400 °C, Jun?

    • −50
    • 50
    • 0.02
  4. For N₂O₄ ⇌ 2 NO₂, K = 0.2 and a mixture has Q = 0.5. Which way does it go, Kira?

    • It stays put
    • Toward NO₂
    • Toward N₂O₄
  5. Reaction X has K = 1 × 10⁸. What does K tell us about it, Luz?

    • It is very fast
    • It goes nearly to products
    • It needs a catalyst to get going
  6. Milo says adding more N₂O₄ raises K for N₂O₄ ⇌ 2 NO₂. Agree or disagree?

    • Agree: K counts the N₂O₄ added
    • Disagree: K stays; the mix shifts
    • Agree: more reactant means a new, bigger K
  7. Pia says removing some product lowers K. Agree or disagree?

    • Agree: less product means a smaller K
    • Agree: K follows the product
    • Disagree: K is fixed at that temperature
  8. Three reactions have K = 49, K = 0.2 and K = 3. Which goes furthest toward products, Ren?

    • The one with K = 3
    • The one with K = 49
    • The one with K = 0.2
  9. H₂ + I₂ ⇌ 2 HI has K = 25 at some temperature, with [H₂] = [I₂] = 0.10 mol/L. What is [HI], Tala?

    • 2.5 mol/L
    • 0.25 mol/L
    • 0.50 mol/L
  10. Which change gives a new value of K, Zee?

    • Changing the temperature
    • Adding more of the reactant gas
    • Adding a catalyst

About this worksheet

The equilibrium constant, K. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

  • I can write K: products over reactants, with coefficients as powers, leaving out pure solids and liquids.
  • I can calculate K from given equilibrium concentrations.
  • I can read a large K as mostly products and a small K as mostly reactants.
  • I can compare Q with K and predict the effect of changing a concentration.

Standard: supports HS-PS1-6

Words to know

equilibrium constant, K: Products over reactants at equilibrium, with coefficients as powers

reaction quotient, Q: The same ratio for any mixture

homogeneous: All in one phase, such as all gases

heterogeneous: With more than one phase; pure solids and liquids are left out

extent: How far a reaction goes

Common mistakes

Your child put the reactant on top. K is products over reactants.

Your child left out the square. The 2 in front of NO₂ becomes a power: K = [NO₂]² ÷ [N₂O₄].

Your child multiplied by the coefficient 2. In K the coefficient is a power: [HI]², not 2 × [HI].

Questions parents ask

What is the most common mistake with the equilibrium constant, k?

Your child put the reactant on top. K is products over reactants.
