2.10 - Equilibrium Flashcards
Reversible Definition
A reaction which goes in both the forward and backward directions.
Dynamic (Equilibria) Definition
Rate of forward reaction is equal to the rate of the backward reaction.
Equilibrium Definition
A reversible reaction in which the amount of each reactant/product remains constant.
Homogeneous Definition
A reaction in which all the reactants and products are in the same physical state.
Heterogeneous (Equilibria) Definition
A reaction in which all the reactants and products are not in the same physical state.
Kc Definition
Kc = [C]c [D]d / [A]a [B]b
for a reaction in the format
aA + bB ⇌ cC + dD
Heterogeneous (Catalyst) Definition
The catalyst is in a different phase from the reactants.
