Module 3: Reaction Rates and Equilibrium (Chapter 10) Flashcards
1
Q
Define dynamic equilibrium
A
The rate of the forward reaction is the same as the rate of the backward reaction in a closed system, and the concentrations of the reactants and products are constant.
2
Q
What does a Kc value at 1 indicate?
A
A position of equilibrium that is halfway between reactants and products
3
Q
What does a Kc value greater than 1 indicate?
A
Equilibrium is towards the products
4
Q
What does a Kc value less than 1 indicate?
A
Equilibrium is towards the reactants
5
Q
What does a larger Kc value mean?
A
The further the position of equilibrium lies to the right-hand side and the greater the concentrations of the products compared to the reactants
