What happens to the forward and backward reactions at equilibrium?
They stop
They keep going
They repeatedly stop then start again
Which statement about a dynamic equilibrium is correct?
It happens only in a closed system
It happens only in a non-enclosed system

The thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate is reversible: CaCO3 ⇌ CaO + CO2. The forward reaction is endothermic. What happens to the position of equilibrium when the reaction mixture is heated?
It moves to the left
It does not change
It moves to the right
The thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate is reversible: CaCO3(s) ⇌ CaO(s) + CO2(g). What happens to the position of equilibrium when the pressure is increased? - Higher
Hydrogen can be made by reacting carbon with steam: C(s) + H2O(g) ⇌ H2(g) + CO(g). How can the equilibrium concentration of hydrogen be increased? - Higher
Increase the concentration of steam
Increase the concentration of carbon monoxide
Use less carbon in the reaction
