Equillibria Flashcards
1
Q
How do reversible reactions affect yield?
A
They cause the actual yield to be less than the theoretical yield because reactants are converted into products continuously
2
Q
Explain how forward reactions are shown on a graph?
A
Forward reaction = concentration increases and levels off
This is because this reaction produces products until the reaction finishes
3
Q
Explain how backward reactions are shown on a graph?
A
Backward reaction = concentration decreases and levels off
This is because this reaction uses products produced to form the compounds that were originally reactants, until the reaction finishes
4
Q
How does the rate of reaction compare between reversible reactions?
A
The rate of reactions are equal when the graph begins to level off
