Chemical Equilibria

Question 1

define reversible reactions

Answer 1

They do not go to completion can proceed in the forward

or backward direction. Both products and reactants are present in the system at any point in time.

Question 2

define dynamic equilibrium

Answer 2

A reversible reaction where the rates of the forward and backward reactions are the same at non-zero in a closed system and there is no net change in the concentration of reactants and products.

Question 3

what is Le Chatelier’s Principle?

Answer 3

If a system at dynamic equilibrium is subject to a change, the system will react to reduce the effect of the change and hence, re-establish equilibrium
