Paper 2- Unit 6b Equilibrium Flashcards
What a dynamic equilibrium?
when the forward and backward reaction
are happening at the same time
at the same rate
with constant concentration of the reactants and products
What is le chatilliers principle?
If you change the conditions of an equilibrium
the reactions opposes the change
If the temperature of an equilibrium system increases
the reaction favours the endothermic reaction
If the temperature of an equilibrium system decreases
the reaction favours the exothermic reaction
If the pressure of an equilibrium system increases
the reaction favours the side with the least mole of gas
If the pressure of an equilibrium system decrease
the reaction favours the side with the most mole of gas
Catalysts effect on equilibrium
No effect on position
rate of both the backward and forward reaction are both increased
reaches equilibrium quicker
