AP Chemistry – FRQ

  • Time yourself: 20 minutes

  • Do NOT check answers until finished

  • Then review explanations carefully

SECTION 2: FRQ

FRQ 1

Explain how increasing pressure affects equilibrium when gases are involved.

... Key Points: - system shifts to fewer gas moles - reduces pressure - Le Châtelier principle Sample Answer: Increasing pressure causes the equilibrium to shift toward the side with fewer gas molecules to reduce pressure.

FRQ 2

Explain why increasing temperature increases reaction rate.

... Key Points: - particles move faster - more collisions - more effective collisions Sample Answer: Increasing temperature increases kinetic energy, leading to more frequent and effective collisions, which increases reaction rate.
