Reversible Reactions And Equilibra Flashcards
Describe the basics
A dynamic equilibrium is set up between the reactants and products
The rate of the forward and backward rates are constant and the concentration of chemicals remains constant
Name the things that can be done about the position of equilibrium
Change pressure
Change temperature
Change pressure:
If we increase the pressure, the equilibrium will move to the side with least moles of gases (lowest balancing numbers
Change temperature:
If we increase the temperature, the equilibrium will move to the side with the endothermic change (positive enthalpy)
