chemical equilibria Flashcards
1
Q
dynamic equilibrium
A
when forward + reverse processes continue at an equal rate (k=k’)
2
Q
Haber process
A
N₂ (g) + 3H₂ (g) ⇌ 2NH₃ (g)
3
Q
K꜀
A
equilibrium constant
4
Q
What does K꜀ = 1 mean?
A
products = reactants
5
Q
What does K꜀ <1 mean?
A
reactants>products
6
Q
What does K꜀ >1 mean?
A
products>reactants
7
Q
What states does the law of equilibria apply to?
A
1) gaseous
2) liquid
8
Q
Le Chatelier’s principle
A
if a constraint is applied to a system in equilibrium, the equilibrium will shift so as to tend to counteract the effect of the constraint
