Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 11.97 Reaction Quotient and Direction of Shift skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
For 3A(g) ⇌ 2B(g), an equilibrium mixture is compressed so all partial pressures initially triple. What is the immediate effect on Qp?
AQp becomes three times Kp, so the reaction shifts toward A.
BQp is unchanged, so no net shift occurs.
CQp becomes nine times Kp, so the reaction shifts toward A.
DQp becomes one-third of Kp, so the reaction shifts toward B.
Solution & Explanation:Qp = P_B2/P_A3. Tripling all pressures multiplies Qp by 32/33 = 1/3, making Qp < Kp and favoring products.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
For 2A(g) ⇌ B(g), an equilibrium mixture is diluted so all concentrations are halved at constant temperature. What does Q predict immediately after dilution?
AQ doubles, so Q > K and the reaction shifts toward B.
BQ is halved, so Q < K and the reaction shifts toward B.
CQ doubles, so Q > K and the reaction shifts toward A.
DQ is unchanged because every concentration changed by the same factor.
Solution & Explanation:For 2A ⇌ B, Q = [B]/[A]2. Halving all concentrations gives (1/2)/(1/2)2 = 2 times the original Q, so the reaction shifts left.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
An equilibrium mixture for A(g) ⇌ 2B(g) is suddenly diluted so all concentrations are halved at constant temperature. If Q was equal to K before dilution, what happens to Q and the shift?
AQ is doubled, so Q > K and the reaction shifts toward A.
BQ is halved, so Q < K and the reaction shifts toward B.
CQ is unchanged, so no net shift occurs.
DQ becomes zero, so the reaction cannot be predicted.
Solution & Explanation:For A ⇌ 2B, Q = [B]2/[A]. Halving all concentrations changes Q to (1/2)2/(1/2) = 1/2 of its original value, so Q < K and products form.
