chemical equilibrium Flashcards
1
Q
reversible reaction
A
one where 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
reactants are constantly forming products and products are constantly forming products
4
Q
dynamic equilibrium
A
rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the backward reaction
5
Q
Le Chateliers Principle
A
if a stress is applied to a system at equilibrium the system re-adjusts to relieve the stress applied
