3(c) Reversible reactions and equilibria Flashcards
1
Q
what does it mean if a reaction goes to completion?
A
where the reactants are used up to form the product molecules and the reaction stops when the reactants have been exhausted
2
Q
reversible reactions?
A
the product molecules can themselves react with each other or decompose and form the reactant molecules again
3
Q
symbol for reversible reactions
A
⇌

Q
the effect of heat on ammonium chloride?
A
Heating ammonium chloride produces ammonia and hydrogen chloride gases:
As the hot gases cool down they recombine to form solid ammonium chloride
THIS IS A REVERISBLE REACTION
