unit 2 Flashcards
in all systems at equilibrium are
constant in concert ratio of reactants and products
chemical systems tend to move toward positions of what enthalpy and entropy
min enthalpy and max entropy
equilibrium shifts left when
rate of forward reaction is less that reverse reaction
equilibrium shifts right when
rate of forward is greater than reverse
equilibrium is a dynamic process because
forward and reverse reactions continue to occur
additions of catalyst to a equilibrium system
increases rate of formation of reactants and products
catalyst affects a reversible reaction by
enabling equilibrium to achieve faster
something greater than 1 in a equilibrium system favours
products
something less than 1 in a equilibrium system favours
reactants
catalyst is added to a system already at equilibrium. How are forward and reverse reaction rates affected by the addition of the catalyst?
both increase
chemical equilibrium is described as “dynamic” because
both reactants and products continue to form
hat will cause a shift in the equilibrium?
changing temp
