(a)
Interpretation:
The given statement is true or false has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
The equilibrium reactions are reversible in nature. The rate constants for the forward and the reverse reaction are not same. At equilibrium position, the rate of forward reaction is equal to the rate of reverse reaction regardless of the different rate constants. According to the rate law, the rate of a
(b)
Interpretation:
The given statement is true or false has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Same as part (a).
(c)
Interpretation:
The given statement is true or false has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
The rate of the reaction is referred to the change in the molar concentration in the distinct interval of time. Mathematically the ratio of change in molar concentration of a reactant or a product to the change in the time interval gives the

Keq=[N2]2[H2O]6[NH3]4[O2]3arrow_forward. Account for the increase in reaction rate brought about by a catalyst.arrow_forward
- Which reaction mechanism assumptions are unimportant in describing simple ionic reactions between cations and anions? Why?arrow_forwardBy which of the following mechanisms does a catalyst operate? a. It decreases the activation energy barrier for a reaction. b. It serves as a reactant and is consumed. c. It increases the temperature of a reaction. d. It increases the concentration of reactants.arrow_forward. 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?arrow_forward
