7.1 What is Chemical Equilibrium? Flashcards
1
Q
Rate of reaction at equilibrium
A
The rate of the forward reaction = the rate of the reverse reaction
2
Q
Concentrations at equilibrium
A
The concentrations of reactants and products are constant
3
Q
What does constant mean?
A
Not changing
4
Q
Dynamic Equilibrium
A
A balance between forward and reverse processes that occur simultaneously at equal rates
5
Q
What does a dynamic equilibrium imply?
A
Movement/motion
6
Q
Equilibrium Positions
A
The relative concentrations of reactants and products in a system in dynamic equilibrium
7
Q
Note about equilibrium positions
A
A reaction can have many equilibrium positions depending on the initial concentrations
