125 Name Section Date Preliminary Exercise Experiment 13 Exploring Equilibrium and Le Châtelier's Principle 1. What is meant by the term reversible reaction? 2. Explain the term dynamic equilibrium. 3. When the chemical equation for a system in equilibrium is written, what symbol is used to separate the reactants from the products? 4. Consider the following system at equilibrium: a. According to Le Châtelier's Principle, what effect will increasing the amount of reactant A have upon the amount of product C? Will it increase the amount of C or decrease the amount of C? b. In which direction did this increase in the amount of A shift the equilibrium? To the left, or to the right? 5. Consider the following system at equilibrium: a. According to Le Châtelier's Principle, what effect will decreasing the amount of reactant D have upon the amount of product E? Will it increase the amount of E or decrease the amount of E? b. In which direction did this decrease in the amount of D shift the equilibrium? To the left, or to the right?
