equilibrium Flashcards
What is equilibrium?
A reaction that can go both ways,which is reversible
what is the key properties of equilibrium
at equilibrium the concentrations of reactants and products do not change at equilibrium the rate of the forwards and backwards reactions are the same
What is a closed system
A chemical reaction in which none of the reactants or products can escape
What would happen if you increase the reactants
The concentration will increase in reactants and therefore more products will be made
What type of system must equilibrium be in
A closed system
What does pressure encourage in the equilibrium reaction
It encourages the forwards reaction,when r
Written down, shifts in o the right
When stresses occur in equilibrium what happens?
It is automatically balanced
What are stresses in equilibrium?
Changes in concentration
Changes to the pressure
Changes to the temperature
What happenes when concentration increases
Equilibrium shifts to the opposite side of the reaction
What happens when concentration decreases
Equilibrium shifts to the same that the reaction is taking place
What is static equilibrium
Nothing is happening or changing
