Reversible Reactions Flashcards
1
Q
What is a reversible reaction?
A
Reactions that go forwards and backwards
2
Q
What is a forward reaction?
A
Reactions that are used up quickly but slow down as concentration drops
3
Q
What is a backwards reaction?
A
Reactions are reformed slowly but then speed up as concentration of product increases
4
Q
What is dynamic equilibrium?
A
The rate of forward and backwards reactions are continuous occurring, where forwards= backwards rate and concentration of reactants and products remain constant.
5
Q
What the requirements for dynamic equilibrium?
A
Reaction must be reversible and in a closed container
