Reversible Reactions Will Reach Dynamic Equilibrium Flashcards
1
Q
What happens if a reversible reaction takes place in a closed system?
A
Then a state of equilibrium will always be reached
2
Q
What does equilibrium mean?
A
The relative (%) quantities of reactants and products will reach a certain balance and stay there
3
Q
What does a closed system mean?
A
None of the reactants or products can escape
4
Q
What does a dynamic equilibrium mean?
A
The reactions are still taking place in horn directions, but the overall effect is nil because the forward and reverse reactions cancel each other out
5
Q
What are the reactions taking place at?
A
Exactly the same rate in both directions
