Dynamic chemical equilibrium Flashcards
Dynamic chemical Equilibrium
reversible reaction in which the forward and the reverse reactions are taking place at the same rate, and hence the concentrations of reactants and products are constant
Kc
The ratio between the rate constants of the forward and reverse reactions is (yet another) constant at a given temperature
Yield
is a measure of the extent of a reaction, generally measured by comparing the amount of product against the amount of product that is possible.
Le Chatelier
“When an external stress (change in pressure, temperature or concentration) is applied to a system in chemical equilibrium, the equilibrium point will change in such a way as to counteract the stress.”
