Revision "Reversible Reactions and Dynamic Equilibria Flashcards
What does a reversible reaction mean?
= products can convert back to the reactants
= double arrow- reach equaliberoam
What happens in a closed system?
= no atoms can enter or leave the system
What is an equalibrian?
= forward and backwards reaction have not stopped, taking place at the same rate
= concentration is constant
=
= dynamic
industrially what does higher temperature give?
= low temperatures give higher yield of product but has lower rate of reactions
= comprimises are used
Industrial and pressure?
= higher pressures give higher yield and faster rate
= expensive to produce
= equipment used is expensive
What is the effect of catalysts ?
= no effect on position of equalirbain
= speed up rate in which equalibrian is reached- speeds up forwads and backwards reaction by the same amount
