Still working on it. After all, I've got another 3 weeks.
But I'm sure the answer to 15 must be: YOUR NAME

Go the easy option TwinTraveller....

"Reactions appear to stop because the products produced by the original reaction themselves begin to react, in the reverse direction to the original process. As the concentration of products begins to build up, product molecules will react more and more frequently. Eventually, as the speed of the forward reaction decreases while speed of the reverse reaction increases the forward and reverse reactions will be going on at the same rate. Once the forward and reverse rates of reaction are identical, there can be no further net change in the concentrations of any species in the system. At this point, a dynamic state of equilibrium has been reached. The original reaction is still taking place but it is opposed by the reverse of the original reaction also taking place. In this experiment, you will study changes made in a system already in equilibrium, by reference to Le Châtelier's principle.


Le Châtelier's principle states that, if we disturb or stress a system that is already in equilibrium, then the system will react so as to minimize the effect of the disturbance. This is most easily demonstrated in cases where addition of one of the chemicals involved in the equilibrium is either added to the solution or removed from the solution."
