Question 1

A reversible reaction \(\text{P}(g) + 2\text{Q}(g) \rightleftharpoons \text{R}(g)\) reaches equilibrium. The graph shows the concentration changes of P, Q and R over time. At equilibrium (after 40 s), [P] = 1.0 mol L⁻¹, [Q] = 0.8 mol L⁻¹, and [R] = 1.0 mol L⁻¹. Determine whether the equilibrium position lies towards the products or reactants.

Question 2

A reversible reaction \(2\text{A}(g) + \text{B}(g) \rightleftharpoons 2\text{C}(g)\) reaches equilibrium at time \(t_1\). Analyse the concentration-time graph to determine the correct statement about the position of equilibrium.
