  1. Physical changes are easily reversible by changing the ___, for example changing the state of water from ice to liquid by heating, and back to ice by cooling.
  2. Why are some reactions reversible?
  3. If the forward reaction of a reversible reaction is exothermic, the backward reaction will be ___.
  4. To carry out the experiment with hydrated and anhydrous copper sulfate, put the steps in order:
  5. How can reaction conditions be changed so that reaction rates change?
  6. Models have limitations. What does this image of the particle model **NOT** attempt to show?
  7. Hot coffee cooling to room temperature is a reversible process. It is a ___ rather than a chemical change.
  8. Equilibrium is a state where opposing forces or processes are balanced. Which statements MUST be true at chemical equilibrium?
  9. Dynamic equilibrium occurs in a ___ system when forward and backward reactions occur at the same rate, and the concentrations of reactants and products remain constant.
  10. A closed system of a glass container is filled with NO_2 under conditions which allows the equilibrium with N_2O_4 to be established. Why will you never observe a colourless situation?
  11. Match the following key terms to their definition.
  12. The models of water with food colouring, or of cars entering/leaving a road, are unhelpful for the ‘dynamic’ aspect of equilibrium, as you cannot see that individual molecules are continuously ___.
