Dynamic Equilbrium Flashcards
The rates of the _____ and backward reactions are _______
- forward
* equal
The concentration of ______ and _______ are ______
- forward
- backward
- constant
What happens if the conditions change?
what is le chatliers principle
is the conditions change the system will change equilibrium position to counteract the change imposed on it.
What happens if you increase the concentration?
Increasing the concentration of the reactants will move the equilibrium position to the right hand side of the reaction.
• forward reaction happens more
What happens if you decrease the concentration?
Decreasing the concentration of reactants will move the equilibrium position to left hand side of the reaction.
• Backward reaction happens more
What happens if you increase the temperature?
If you increase the temp the system is going to try to decrease it. The equilibrium position shifts int the endothermic direction.
• shifts to the left (reactant side)
What happens if you decrease the temperature?
The equilibrium position shifts in the exothermic direction.
• shifts to the right (product side)
What happens if you increase the pressure?
If we increase the pressure the system will try to decrease the pressure.
• Higher pressure favours the side with fewer moles of gas
What happens if you decrease the pressure?
Lower pressure factors the side with more moles of gas.
