Chemical Equilibrium Definitions Flashcards
1
Q
Reversible reactions
A
The products react to give back the reactions
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 rate of the backward reaction
5
Q
Le Châteliers Principle
A
If a stress is applied to a system at equilibrium the system re-adjusts to relieve the stress applied
