ionic equations
only include species which have changed state
neutralisation reaction of H+ and OH-
H+ (aq) + OH- (aq) –> H2O (l)
ammonia reactions
H+ (aq) + NH3 (aq) –> NH4 + (aq)
reactions with metals
2H+ (aq) + Mg (s) –> Mg 2+ (aq) + H2 (g)
what is precipitation reactions
forming solids from aqueous species
half equations
for displacement or electrolysis reactions
equilibrium
- reversible reactions in a closed system will reach equilibria
- forward reaction is at same rate as backward reaction
dynamic equilibrium
forward and backward reactions are occurring at same rate there is no overall effect, the number of reactants and products stay constant
changing equilibrium position
changing concentration, temperature and pressure of reversible reaction, the position of the equilibrium can be changed, it can be pushed either left or right
factors affecting equilibrium
- concentration of reactants / products
- pressure of gaseous reactants / products
- temperature
what happens to equilibrium when concentration of reactant increases
- increasing concentration of reactants cause equilibrium position to shift to right, so more products made
- equilibrium position tries to counteract the change and restore balance to the system
what happens to equilibrium when increasing concentration of products?
- equilibrium position shifts to the left so more reactants will be made
- equilibrium position tries to counteract the change and restore balance to the system
what happens to equilibrium when increasing the pressure of system (only affects gases)
when pressure increased, equilibrium position acts to counteract increase in pressure by decreasing pressure and moves to lower pressure which is the side with fewer gaseous molecules
what happens to equilibrium if you decrease the pressure of system (only affects gases)
pressure decreased, equilibrium position acts to counteract this decrease in pressure by increasing the pressure of the system and therefore moves to the side of greater pressure which is the side with a greater number of gaseous molecules
what happens to equilibrium if you increase temperature
shifts to direction of endothermic reaction
what happens to equilibrium if you decrease temperature
equilibrium position favours exothermic reaction
what impact do catalysts have on equilibrium
no effect
