5.6.2.3 Equilibrium Flashcards
1
Q
What is (dynamic) equilibrium?
A
- both the forward and reverse reactions happen at the same time, at the same rate
- in a closed systen
2
Q
When is (dynamic) equilibrium reached?
A
- reversible reaction occurs in apparatus which prevents the escape of reactants and products (closed system)
3
Q
What does it mean when there is dynamic equilibrium?
A
- concentration of reactants and products have reached a balance
- won’t change
4
Q
What does it mean if equilibrium lies to the left?
A
- more reactants than products
5
Q
What does it mean if equilibrium lies at the centre?
A
- equal amounts of reactants and products
6
Q
What does it mean if equilibrium lies to the right?
A
- more products than reactants
