TRUE OR FALSE 1. Increasing the temperature will increase the kinetic energy of particles, therefore increasing the collisions between particles. 2. Usually lowering the temperature will slow down a reaction. 3. Increasing the concentration of the reactants will slow down the reaction. 4. A catalyst increases the efficiency of collisions between reactants 5. You observe bubbles after adding metal to a solution. Do you assume a chemical reaction took place? YES OR NO?

. Explain what it means that a reaction has reached a state of chemical equilibrium. Explain why equilibrium is a dynamic state: Does a reaction really “stop” when the system reaches a state of equilibrium? Explain why, once a chemical system has reached equilibrium, the concentrations of all reactants remain constant with time. Why does this constancy of concentration not contradict our picture of equilibrium as being dynamic? What happens to the rates of the forward and reverse reactions as a system proceeds to equilibrium from a starting point where only reactants are present?
