equalibria Flashcards
what is dynamic equilibrium
the forwards and backwards reactions which result in unchanged concentrations
what happens when reversible reactions are left in sealed containers
dynamic equilibrium
what can the position of equilibrium be shifted by
amounts of reactants or products, gas pressure, temperature
what is le chateliers principle
the equilibrium shifts to counteract any change imposed on it
what is equilibrium
the balance of reactants and products
why do catalysts have no affect on the position of an equilibrium
as it increases the the both forward and backward reactions
explain the dehydration/hydration of copper sulfate
heat copper sulfate crystals from blue to white as they lose water, add water to anhydrous copper sulphate white to blue as it absorbs the water
