Equilibrium Flashcards
1
Q
Reversible reaction
A
Products react to give back reactants (I.e. both directions)
2
Q
Chemical equilibrium
A
State of dynamic balance in a reversible reaction. Rate of forward reaction is equal to rate of reverse reaction.
3
Q
Dynamic state
A
Reactants continuously forming products and products continuously forming reactants
4
Q
Dynamic equilibrium
A
Rate of forward reaction is the same as rate of reverse reaction
5
Q
Le chateliers principle
A
If a stress is applied to a system in equilibrium the system readjusts to relieve the stress applied e.g. temp pressure conc
6
Q

A
N2 + 3H2 + 2NH3
