Chemical Equillibrium Flashcards
1
Q
Reversible reaction
A
one in which the products react to give back the reactants. Ie. the reaction is going both directions.
2
Q
Chemical Equilibrium
A
state of dynamic balance in a reversible reaction where the rate of the forward reaction is the same as the rate of the backwards reaction.
3
Q
Dynamic state
A
reactants are continuously forming products and the products are continuously forming reactants.
4
Q
Le Chatelier’s Principle
A
if a stress is applied to a system at equilibrium, the system readjusts to relieve the stress applied.
