C11- Equilibrium Flashcards
What is a reversible reaction?
Where reactants can react to produce products and products can react to produce reactants
What is dynamic equilibrium?
The point in a reversible reaction where the rate of the forward and reverse reactions are the same
What are the three conditions that can be changed in a reaction?
Temperature
Concentration
Pressure
What is le chateliers principle?
The position of the equilibrium shifts to oppose external changes
What is the effect of increasing concentration on a reaction at dynamic equilibrium?
Favours forward reaction
What is the effect of decreasing concentration on a reaction at dynamic equilibrium?
Favours forward reaction
What is the effect of increasing pressure on a reaction at dynamic equilibrium?
Favours the reaction that results in fewer molecules
What is the effect of decreasing pressure on a reaction at dynamic equilibrium?
Favours the reaction that leads to the most molecules
What is the effect of increasing temperature on a reaction at dynamic equilibrium?
Favours endothermic reaction
What is the effect of decreasing temperature on a reaction at dynamic equilibrium?
Favours endothermic reaction
