Chapter 12 Miscellaneaous

Question 1

Reversible Reaction

Answer 1

A reaction that can proceed in either direction

Question 2

Forward Reaction

Answer 2

Reaction that changes reactants into products

Question 3

Reverse Reaction

Answer 3

Reaction that changes products into reactants

Question 4

Dynamic equilibrium

Answer 4

Forward and reverse reactions are occurring at the same rate. The result is no
net change in the amounts of reactants or products

Question 5

The Equilibrium Constant

Answer 5

Ratio of the relative concentrations of reactants and products at
equilibrium. Constant when the reaction is at a constant temperature

Question 6

Reaction Quotient

Answer 6

Ratio of the relative concentrations of reactants and products when the reaction is
not at equilibrium. Allows us to determine the direction in which a reaction will proceed

Question 7

Strong acid

Answer 7

Acids that give up protons very easily and (almost) completely dissociate in water.

Question 8

Weak acid

Answer 8

Acids that give up a proton with difficulty and only partially dissolve in water.

Question 9

Oxidation-Reduction Reaction

Answer 9

reaction in which an electron is transferred from one reactant to
anothe

Question 10

Oxidation

Answer 10

Loss of electrons

Question 11

Reduction

Answer 11

Gain of electrons

Question 12

Oxidation state

Answer 12

The hypothetical charge of an atom if all of its bonds were fully ionic
