Unit 3: Equilibrium Flashcards
1
Q
Reversible reaction
A
If the conditions are not altered a balance point will be reached. This is said to be equilibrium
2
Q
Factors affecting equilibrium
A
Concentration
Temperature
Pressure
Catalysts
3
Q
Concentration
A
Addition of reactant or removal of product R
Addition of product or removal of reactant L
4
Q
Temperature
A
Increase favours endothermic
Decrease favours exothermic
5
Q
Pressure
A
Increase shifts in direction which reduces number of molecules in gas phase
Decrease shifts in direction which increases number of molecules in gas phase
6
Q
Catalyst
A
No effect on equilibrium position, equilibrium faster attained
