D all chemical reactions.
8 Activation energy:
A determines whether a reaction can be reversible or not.
B only affects the rate of a reaction.
C is unaffected by catalysts.
D of a reverse reaction is the same as the forward reaction at equilibrium.
9 Dynamic equilibrium:
A occurs only at certain temperatures.
B is unaffected by temperature change.
C is when the concentrations of all species are the same.
D occurs when the concentrations of all species is constant.
