Chemical Equilibrium Flashcards
1
Q
An open system
A
It continuously interacts with its
environment.
2
Q
a closed system
A
It 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.
