(a)
Interpretation:
The observation or measurements result that would indicate that the given process had reached equilibrium is to be described.
Concept introduction:
The rate of the process is the speed at which the process is occurring. The equilibrium state of a process is the state at which the rate of the process going into the forward direction becomes equal to the rate of the process going into the backward direction.

- For the reaction C6H6(g)+3H2(g)C6H12(g)+heat determine in what direction the equilibrium will be shifted by each of the following changes. Decreasing the concentration of H2 a. Increasing the concentration of C6H6 b. Decreasing the temperature c. Increasing the pressure by decreasing the volume of the containerarrow_forward. In your own words, paraphrase Le Châtelier’s principle. Give an example (including a balanced chemical equation) of how each of the following changes can affect the position of equilibrium in favor of additional products for a system: the concentration of one of the reactants is increased: one of the products is selectively removed from the system: the reaction system is compressed to a smaller volume: the temperature is increased for an endothermic reaction: the temperature is decreased for an exothermic process.arrow_forwardCalculate equilibrium constants for the following reactions at 208 K.
