Dynamic Equilibrium Flashcards
1
Q
What are reversible reactions
A
Reactions in which the products of a reaction can react together to reform the original reactants
2
Q
How are reversible reactions represented
A
Using a double arrow
3
Q
If forward reaction is exothermic what will backward reaction be
A
Endothermic
4
Q
What is dynamic equilibrium
A
When the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the backward, concentrations of the reactants and products remain constant. Can only occur in closed systems
5
Q
What is a closed system
A
One in which no substances can get in or out
