Question 1

define reversible reaction

Answer 1

reaction that can proceed in both the forward and reverse directions

Question 2

define dynamic equilibrium

Answer 2

occurs in a reversible system where the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are the same. there is no net change in the concentration of the reactants and products

Question 3

what is the significance of K when it is large

Answer 3

contains more products ➡️ POE lies to the right ➡️ forward reaction is favoured

Question 4

does K change at constant temperature

Answer 4

no. they remain constant at constant temperature

Question 5

state the Le Chatelier Principle

Answer 5

when a stress is applied to a reversible system at equilibrium, the POE will shift so as to minimise the stress
