What information does an equilibrium constant give about a reaction?
A. It tells how long it takes the reaction to reach equilibrium.
B. It tells how much energy is required for the reaction to happen.
C. It tells what the rate constant of the reaction is at equilibrium.
D. It tells whether products or reactants are favored at equilibrium.
Wrong it’s D!!!!!!
Bob is correct, Slite is wrong. Checked answer w/quiz can confirm (It tells whether products or reactants are favored at equilibrium.) is right
Schabowski: (. . . scratches his head) You see, comrades, I was informed today (puts on his glasses as he speaks further), that such an announcement had been (um) distributed earlier today. You should actually have it already. So, (reading very quickly from the paper):
1) “Applications for travel abroad by private individuals can now be made without the previously existing requirements (of demonstrating a need to travel or proving familial relationships). The travel authorizations will be issued within a short time. Grounds for denial will only be applied in particular exceptional cases. The responsible departments of passport and registration control in the People's Police district offices in the GDR are instructed to issue visas for permanent exit without delays and without presentation of the existing requirements for permanent exit.”
Question: With a passport?
Schabowski: (um . . .)(reads:) “Permanent exit is possible via all GDR border crossings to the FRG.[2] These changes replace the temporary practice of issuing [travel] authorizations through GDR consulates and permanent exit with a GDR personal identity card via third countries.”
Use the excerpt to answer the question. from Interview with Günter Schabowski, November 9, 1989 to answer the question?
Which of the following is MOST politically notable about the content of the interview regarding the Cold War tensions at the time? Explain
A. the qualifications necessary to travel outside of the Soviet Union
B. the new ease with which German citizens could travel to the United States
C. the difficulties entailed in traveling between Soviet- and U.S-controlled areas of Berlin
D. the new ease with which one could travel between Soviet- and U.S.-controlled areas of Berlin
D. The new ease with which one could travel between Soviet- and U.S.-controlled areas of Berlin is most politically notable about the content of the interview regarding the Cold War tensions at the time. This announcement represented a major shift in the policy of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) government and effectively opened the border between East and West Berlin, which had been closed since 1961. This policy change eased the Cold War tensions and contributed to the eventual reunification of Germany.
Well, equilibrium constants are the ultimate gossipers of chemical reactions. They spill the beans about which way the reaction swings at equilibrium. So, the correct answer here is D. It tells whether products or reactants are favored at equilibrium. Think of equilibrium constants as the divas of chemistry, telling us who's more popular on the dance floor - the products or the reactants.
The correct answer is D. An equilibrium constant provides information about the extent to which a reaction proceeds towards equilibrium, specifically whether products or reactants are favored at equilibrium.
To determine the answer to this question, you can refer to the definition and properties of the equilibrium constant. The equilibrium constant is denoted as K and is calculated by taking the ratio of the concentrations (or partial pressures) of the products to the concentrations (or partial pressures) of the reactants, each raised to the power of their respective stoichiometric coefficients.
If the equilibrium constant (K) is greater than 1, it indicates that the products are favored at equilibrium, meaning the reaction has a higher concentration of products than reactants at equilibrium. On the other hand, if the equilibrium constant (K) is less than 1, it indicates that the reactants are favored at equilibrium, meaning the reaction has a higher concentration of reactants than products at equilibrium.
Therefore, the equilibrium constant provides information about the direction in which a reaction proceeds at equilibrium, indicating whether products or reactants are favored.
