3.1.6 - Equilibria

Question 1

Dynamic Equilibrium

Answer 1

When the forward and backward rate of reaction is the same and remains at a constant rate. Can only occur in closed systems

Question 2

Le Chatelier’s Principle

Answer 2

When a system is subject to change, the system will alter to lessen the effect of that change

Question 3

Increasing temperature causes the equilibrium to…

Answer 3

Shifts the equilibrium to the more endothermic side. Decreasing the temperature shifts the equilibrium to the more exothermic side

Question 4

Increasing pressure and equilibrium

Answer 4

Increasing pressure shifts the equilibrium to the side with fewer moles. Decreasing the pressure shifts the equilibrium to the side with more moles

Question 5

Increasing concentration and equilibrium

Answer 5

Increasing the concentration of the reactants shifts the equilibrium to the side with the products. Increasing the concentration of the products shifts the equilibrium to the side with the reactants

Question 6

Catalysts and the Equilibrium

Answer 6

Appear to not affect the equilibrium position, but allow equilibrium to be reached faster
