Chapter 15 Vocab Flashcards
The point at which both the forward and reverse reaction in a chemical equation have equal reaction rates: When this occurs, the amount of each substance in the chemical reaction will not change, despite the fact that both reactions still proceed.
Chemical Equilibrium
A value that describes the concentrations at which a reaction comes to equilibrium. The equilibrium constant varies with temperature.
Equilibrium Constant
When a stress (such as a change in concentration, pressure, or temperature) is applied to an equilibrium, the reaction will shift in a way that relives the stress and restores equilibrium.
Le Chatelier’s Principle
The equilibrium constant for an acids ionization reaction.
