Heating encourages which reaction?
Forward
Cooling encourages which reaction?
Backward
When at equilibrium, both reactions are still happening.
True or False
True
When at equilibrium, both reactants and products are equal.
True or False
False, the forwards and backwards reactions are equal meaning there is no net change in number of reactants and products
What is a closed system?
A sealed environment, in which none of the reactants or products can escape.
Equilibrium can only be reached in a closed system.
True or False
True
What does endothermic mean?
It requires heat energy from surroundings
What does exothermic mean?
It releases energy, in this case, the heat taken in by the endothermic reaction
The forward and backward reaction can have either endothermic or exothermic but forward and backward are always different.
True or False
True
