chemical equilibrium

Question 1

state Le Chatelier’s Principle

Answer 1

• Le Chatelier’s Principle states that when a system at dynamic equilibrium is subjected to a change which disturbs the equilibrium,
• the system will react in a way so as to counteract the effect of the change to re-establish equilibrium

Question 2

what is the definition of dynamic equilibrium?

Answer 2

• when a reversible reaction reaches dynamic equilibrium, the reaction continues to occur,
• with the rates of the forward & backwards reaction being equal,
• hence, there is no net change in the concentrations of the reactants and products
