Chemical Equilibrium Flashcards
Static Equilibrum
The entire system is
not moving
Dynamic equilibrium
The system is in motion. reactants are continuously forming products and the products are continuously forming reactants
Chemical equilibrium
is a state of dynamic balance
where the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the backward reaction.
Le Chatelier’s principle
If a stress is applied to a system at equilibrum, the system readjusts to relieve the stress applied.
