Reversible Reactions - Seneca Flashcards
How is nitrogen obtained for the haber process ?
Extracted from the air.
Why is it called DYNAMIC equilibrium?
Dynamic Because both the forward and backward reactions are still taking place.
What are reversible reactions in a closed system described as ?
Reversible reactions in a closed system result in dynamic equilibrium.
What is a closed system?
When reactants and products cannot be added or removed, therefore concentrations do not change.
What principle descibes what will happen when a condition of a reaction at equilibrium is changed ?
Le chatelier’s principle
Reaction will counteract the change
Endo and exothermic descriptions.
Exothermic = decrease In temp
Endothermic = increase in temp
How can we predict the outcome of pressure change on the position of equilibrium?
To predict the outcome of pressure change, we must assess balanced equations to see how many gas molecules are on each side of the equation.
What state do pressure changes affect only?
Gases
