Chemical Equilibrum Flashcards
Equilibrium constant
And expression of the concentration of the products (gases and solutions only) for a reaction that is in equilibrium
Dynamic equilibrium
Reversible reaction in which the forward and The reverse reaction are taking place at the same rate and hence the concentrations of reactants and products are constant
Closed system
One in which mass is conserved inside the system but energy can enter and leave the system freely
Open system
One in which energy and matter can be exchanged between the system and its surroundings
Reversible reaction
One in which products can be converted into reactants
Le chateezy principal
When an external stress (change in pressure, temperature or concentration) Is applied to a system in dynamic chemical equilibrium, the Equilibrium point will change in such a way as to counteract the stress
Yield
Measure of the extent of a reaction generally measured by comparing the amount of product against the amount of product that is possible
