Chemical Equilibrium Flashcards
1
Q
Explain Open System
A
An open system continuously interacts with its environment.
2
Q
Explain Closed System
A
A closed system is isolated from its surroundings.
3
Q
Explain Reversible Reaction
A
A reaction is reversible when products can be converted back to reactants and vice versa.
4
Q
Explain Chemical Equilibrium
A
It is a dynamic equilibrium when the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction.
5
Q
Le Chatelier’s Principle
A
When the equilibrium in a closed system is disturbed, the system will reinstate a new equilibrium by favouring the reaction that will oppose the disturbance.
