equilibria Flashcards
1
Q
what is the importance of equilibrium?
A
when the rate of forward=rate of the back
try to favour forward reaction- make more products
2
Q
what happens when you change the concentration?
A
add more OH- it will remove H+
Add more H+ will remove OH-
3
Q
what happens when you change the temperature?
A
rise in temp-favour endothermic side
decrease in temp-favour exothermic side
4
Q
what is the effect of a catalyst?
A
no effect of position of equilibrium
lower Ea by same amount, no effect on equilibrium
reach equilibrium more quickly
