Reversible Reactions Flashcards
1
Q
Define dynamic equilibrium:
A
The point at which both reactions (forwards and reverse) are going at the same rate
2
Q
What is Le Chatelier’s principle:
A
If you change the conditions of a reversible reaction, the system will try to counteract the change
3
Q
If you decrease the temperature:
A
The exothermic reaction is favoured and vice versa
4
Q
If you decrease the pressure:
A
The reaction with the most molecules is favoured and vice versa
5
Q
You can only alter pressure with:
A
Gases
6
Q
Before counting the molecules to see which side of the reaction is favoured for pressure:
A
BALANCE IT!!!
7
Q
If you increase the concentration of the reactant(s):
A
The reaction makes more products and vice versa
