1
Q
What is equilibrium?
A
the point at which there is not longer a change in the concentrations of the reactants and the products of a chemical reaction; the point at which the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal
2
Q
What is the equilibrium constant?
A
Keq = the product of the concentrations of the products of a reaction at equilibrium divided by the products of the concentrations of the reactants
3
Q
What will cause the Keq to change for a reaction?
A
temperature
