chemical equilibrium Flashcards
1
Q
reversible reaction
A
the products react to give back the reactants
2
Q
chemical equilibrium
A
a state of dynamic balance in a reversible reaction where the rate of the forward reaction is the same as the rate of the backward reaction
3
Q
dynamic state
A
the reactants are continuously forming products and the products are continuously forming reactants
4
Q
dynamic equilibrium
A
the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the backwards reaction
5
Q
Le Chatelier’s principle
A
if a stress is applied to a system the system will readjust to relieve the stress applied
