2. List conditions that must be true at equilibrium.
3. Ozone (O3) and oxygen gas O2 can exist in equilibrium.
2 O3(g) 3 O2(g).
If 2 mol of O3 react for every 2 mol of O2 reacting does equilibrium exist in the container?
4. Consider the following reaction:

In a closed system, it is found that 2 moles of NOCl react for every 3 moles of product that react. Is
the mixture at equilibrium? Explain.

If you start with pure X in the container, and the reaction comes to equilibrium, show a sketch of
rates (forward/reverse) vs. time.
6. Consider the following equilibrium reaction:

Why does the [N2] remain unchanged even though the forward reaction continues to occur and
produce N2?
7. Consider the following reaction
H2(g) + I2(g) 2 HI(g)
If you began with HI in a container only, sketch the RATE vs. time graph as equilibrium is reached.
H2(g) + I2(g) 2 HI(g)
You initially had 3.0 M of H2 and I2 and no HI in the container. The equilibrium concentration of H2
and I2 was found to be 1.4 M. Sketch the concentration vs. time graph for this reaction.
