Acids, Bases, And Buffers Flashcards
Reactants combine to give __________.
Products
Products can fall apart to give ____________.
Reactants
___________ ____________ is the process of reactants combining to yield products and products breaking apart to yield reactants.
Dynamic equilibrium
When a system is a state of dynamic equilibrium is disturbed it will react to reestablish the equilibrium condition, this is called ______________________.
Le Chatelier’s principle
When is a system in a state of equilibrium?
When there is a balance between reactants and products.
What is balance defined by?
Thermodynamics
