1
Q
Reversible reaction symbol
A
⇌
2
Q
Dynamic equilibrium
A
- Forward and reverse rates of reaction become constant
- Reactant and product concentration become constant
- Can occur in reversible reaction if container is sealed
3
Q
Catalyst
A
- Changes Ea in both directions
- Allows reaction to reach equilibrium faster
- Does not favour either side
4
Q
Changing temperature
A
- Increasing temperature favours endothermic reaction
- Decreasing temperature favours exothermic reaction
5
Q
Changing pressure
A
- If reactants have more gas particles, increasing pressure favours the forward reaction
- If reactants have fewer fas particles, increasing pressure favours the reverse reaction
