equilibrium Flashcards
1
Q
in a reversible reaction when is equilibrium reached
A
when the concnetration of reactants and products is constant
2
Q
When are chemical reactions in a state of equilibrium
A
when the rate fo the forward reaction equals the rate of the backwards reaction
3
Q
At equilibrium whats the concentration of reactants compared to products
A
usually different
4
Q
What happens at equilibrium
A
concentrations of reactants and products remain constant but are rarely equal
5
Q
What does a catalyst do
A
increases the rate of the forward and reverse reaction equally
6
Q
What is bond enthalpy
A
the energy required to remove one mole of bonds in a molecule
