Chemical Equilibrium Flashcards
1
Q
What does dynamic equilibrium mean?
A
Rate of forward reaction is equal to the rate of the backward reaction
2
Q
Le Chatelier’s Principle
A
If a dynamic equilibrium is disturbed by changing the conditions, the position of equilibrium moves to counteract the change
3
