38
Q

what is Le Chatelier’s principle

A

reaction shifts in direction that counteracts a disturbance
- forward reaction enhanced (a shift to the right) until a new equilibrium is attained)
- reverse reaction enhanced (a shift to the left) until a new equilibrium is attained

39

reactions are approaching equilibrium

41
Q

how to identify a weak strong or non electrolyte through pictures

A

weak; some + and - charges while others have no indication of charge
strong; equal number of + and - charged particles
non; no indication at all of charges

42
Q

what does pH measure

A

concentration of hydronium ions (H3O+) in aqueous solution

45
Q

increase
decrease
