1.7 Simple Equilibria and Acid Base Reactions Flashcards
Reversible reaction
Is one that can go in either direction depending on the conditions
Dynamic equilibrium
Is when the forward and reverse reactions occur at the same rate
Position of equilibrium
Is the proportion of products to reactants in an equilibrium mixture
Le Chatelier’s Principle
States that if a system at equilibrium is subjected to a change the equilibrium tends to shift so as to minimise the effect of the change
Acid
Is a proton donor
Base
Is a proton acceptor
Strong Acid
Is one that fully dissociates in aqueous solutions
Weak Acid
Is one that partially dissociates in aqueous solution
Salt
Is the compound that forms when a metal ion replaces the hydrogen ion in an acid
