1. 1.

   Removing ammonia shifts N₂ + 3 H₂ ⇌ 2 NH₃ to the right, and 0.8 mol of new NH₃ forms. How many moles of N₂ are used, Ari?

   0.4 mol
2. 2.

   Removing ammonia shifts N₂ + 3 H₂ ⇌ 2 NH₃ to the right, and 1.6 mol of new NH₃ forms. How many moles of N₂ are used, Bo?

   0.8 mol
4. 3.

   Using the graph, what change was made at 30 s, Jun?

   • N₂ was added
   • NH₃ was added
   • H₂ was removed
5. 4.

   Using the graph, which way did the equilibrium shift after the change, Kira?

   Use the picture in question 3.

   • It did not shift
   • Right, toward NH₃
   • Left, toward N₂ and H₂
6. 5.

   What does Le Châtelier's principle say an equilibrium does when it is changed, Milo?

   • It stays exactly the same as before
   • It stops reacting
   • It shifts to ease the change
7. 6.

   A reactant is added to an equilibrium. Which way does it shift, Noah?

   • Toward the products
   • Toward the reactants
   • It does not shift
8. 7.

   A product is removed from an equilibrium. Which way does it shift, Pia?

   • Toward the products
   • It stops completely
   • Toward the reactants
9. 8.

   For an exothermic reaction, heat is treated like which part of the equation, Ren?

   • A product
   • A catalyst
   • A reactant
10. 9.

    An exothermic reaction is heated. Which way does it shift, Tala?

    • Toward the products side
    • It does not shift
    • Toward the reactants
11. 10.

    Does adding a catalyst shift an equilibrium, Zee?

    • No: it speeds both ways equally
    • Yes: toward the products
    • Yes: toward the reactants
