Equilibrium Flashcards
1
Q
Reversible reaction
A
Reactants can change into products and products can change back into reactants
2
Q
Dynamic equilibrium
A
- The rate of forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction
- the amounts of reactants and products remain constant
3
Q
Closed system
A
Only reactants and products are present
4
Q
Homogeneous reaction
A
All reactants and products are in the same state
5
Q
Heterogeneous reaction
A
All reactants and products are in the same state
6
Q
Factors affecting the position of equilibrium
A
- concentration
- temperature
- pressure
7
Q
Le Châtelier’s principle
A
If a change is made to the conditions of a system at equilibrium, then the position of equilibrium will change 
8
