CHEMICAL EQUILIBRIUM Flashcards
1
Q
An open system
A
continuously interacts with its
environment
2
Q
closed system
A
is isolated from its surroundings
3
Q
A reversible reaction
A
A reaction is reversible when products can be converted
back to reactants and vice versa
4
Q
Chemical equilibrium:
A
It is a dynamic equilibrium when the rate of the forward
reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction.
5
Q
State Le Chatelier’s principle
A
When the equilibrium in a closed system is disturbed, the
system will re-instate a new equilibrium by favouring the reaction that will oppose the
disturbance.
