Q

What are the features of equilibrium reaction?

A
  1. Products/ Reactants must not escape, reaction in closed system
  2. At equilibrium, reactants are continually being changed to products and products back to reactants (dynamic equilibrium)
  3. At equilibrium concentration of reactants and products do not change (same as the start), as rate of forward reaction = rate of reverse reaction
  4. Equilibrium can be approached from either direction

Q

What is the position of equilibrium? (3)

A

Position of equilibrium tells how far reaction goes in favour of reactants or products/
Concentration of products greater => position of equilibrium to the right.
Concentration of reactants greater => position of equilibrium to the left.

Q

When the concentration of reactant is increased, where does equilibrium move and why

A

equilibrium moves to the right, to form more products until equilibrium is restored - keeps relative concentrations of products and reactants the same as before

Q

In (2SO2 + O2 => 2SO3), where does an increase in pressure do?

A

moves the reaction to the write , more SO2 and O2 combine to form SO3

Q

If a reaction is exothermic in the forward direction, what will it be in the reverse reaction?

A

Endothermic

17
Q

For an forward exothermic reaction, when temperature increases, where does equilibrium shift?

A

Equilibrium shifts in favor of the reverse reaction

18
Q

For an forward endothermic reaction, when temperature increases, where does equilibrium shift?

A

Equilibrium moves to the right to favor products.
