H2+12 <-->2 HI : Consider the synthesis of hydrogen iodide as a reaction that has reached equilibrium. If the pressure of this system were decreased, what is most likely to occur?
The amount of hydrogen gas will increase.
The amount of iodine gas will increase.
The amount of hydrogen iodide will increase.
There will be no change.

How does a catalyst increase the speed of a reaction? a. the catalyst eliminates the activated complex stage, allowing products to form immediately. b. the catalyst lowers the energy level of the reactants, making it easier for them to react. c. the catalyst makes it easier for the activated complex to form, lowering the activation energy. d. the catalyst raises the energy level of the products, making the reaction finish sooner. reset next
