C11 Rates And Equilibria

Question 1

Activation energy

Answer 1

The minimum energy required for a reaction to occur

Question 2

Dynamic equilibrium

Answer 2

Reached when the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction. The concentrations of the reagents and products remain constant; the reactants and the products react continuously

Question 3

Le Chatelier’s principle

Answer 3

States that if a closed system at equilibrium is subject to a change, the system will move to minimise the effect of that change
