equilibrium 3.3 Flashcards
dynamic equilibrium
when the rates of forward and reverse reactions are equal
the concentration of reactants and products at equilibrium
remain constant but are rarely equal
increasing temperature
will favor the endothermic reaction
decreasing the temperature
will favor the exothermic reaction
increasing pressure
will favour the side with least gas molecules
decreasing pressure
will favor the side with most has molecules
reactions with equal gas molecules
change pressure will not affect reaction
catalysts on equilibrium
doesn’t affect the position of equilibrium
remove a reactant
will favor the reverse reaction and reduce production of products
adding more reactants
will favour the forward reaction and increase production of product
removing a product
will favour the forward reaction and increase the production of products
adding more products
will favour the reverse reaction and decreasing production of products
