Test 3 Equilibrium Flashcards
Collision theory
A reaction will occur if the reactants reactants collide with enough energy
Activation energy
Minimum amount of energy needed for a reaction
Anything that enhances collisions will __________ the rate of reaction
Increase
Many gasses in a closed container are
Reversible
Increasing concentration __________ rate of reaction
Increases
Lowering temperature ___________ rate of reaction
Decreases
Decreasing particle size __________ rate of reaction
Increases
Catalysts __________ rate of reaction
Increase
Anything that _____ __________ will increase rate of reaction
Enhances collisions
Chemical equilibrium
Is reached when the rates of the foward and reverse reaction are equal
Lechatelier’s principal
If a stress is applied to a system at equilibrium, the system changes to relieve the stress and return to equilibrium
Stresses include a change in
Concentration
Temperature
Pressure
Increasing the pressure of an equation would shift the equilibrium towards the side with the _______ moles
Least
Increasing pressure has no effect on an
Aqueous solution
Equilibrium position of a reaction
Is given by the relative concentrations of reactants and products at equilibrium
