At what time (in seconds) is equilibrium established?

• 0 seconds

• 1 second

• 5 seconds

• 10 seconds

Why is equilibrium called a dynamic state?

• Chemists try to convert as much reactants as possible into products.
• The reactions at equilibrium continue to take place once equilibrium is established.
• The products of a forward reaction are favored, so equilibrium lies to the right.
• All chemical reactions are considered to be reversible under suitable conditions.

What is the K_c expression for this reaction?
   2 NO_(g)  +  O_2(g) ⇌  2 NO_2(g)

• K_c = [NO₂]² / [NO]² [O₂]
• K_c =  [NO]² [O₂] / [NO₂]²
• K_c = [NO]² [O₂] [NO₂]²
• K_c = [NO₂]² / [NO]² +  [O₂]

An equilibrium constant with a large value, e.g. K_c = 1000, indicates…

• A very fast reaction
• Mostly products at equilibrium
• Mostly reactants at equilibrium
• Nothing useful at all

When the following reaction reached equilibrium,
