Unit 5 - Chemical Equilibrium Flashcards
T/F
Most chemical reactions are irreversible. Only few reactions proceed to completion.
F
It exists when two opposing reactions occur simultaneously at the same rate.
Chemical equlibrium
It is a dynamic process.
Chemical equilibrium
T/F
Once equilibrium is achieved, the amount of each reactant and product remains constant.
T
T/F
As a system approaches equilibrium, both the forward and reverse reactions are occuring.
T
All reactants and products are in same phase and cannot be separated.
Homogenous equilibrium
Reactants and products are not in homogenous phase and can be separated.
Heterogenous equilibrium
T/F
The forward rate will be the reactant side.
T
T/F
The reverse rate will be the product side.
T
States that the rate of any chemical reaction is proportional to the product of the masses of the reacting substances, with each mass raised to a power equal to the coefficient that occurs in the chemical equation.
Law of mass action
It relates the concentrations of reactants and products at equilibrium.
Equilibrium constant
T/F
It is the product of the concentrations of PRODUCTS of a chemical equilibrium divided by the concentrations of REACTANTS, each raised to the power equal to its coefficient in the balanced chemical equation.
T
T/F
In writing equilibrium constant expression, a pure solid or a pure liquid in the reaction is omitted from the expression.
T
T/F
The concentration of a pure solid or a pure liquid is always the same.
T
The activity of liquid or solid is defined as _____.
1
T/F
H2O(l) has activity of 1 while H2O(g) is considered in the expression.
T
This results from a reversible reaction involving reactants and products that are in different phases.
Heterogeneous equilibrium
T/F
In heterogeneous equilibrium, neither density nor molar mass is a variable, the concentrations of solids and pure liquids are constant.
T
T/F
The concentrations of pure liquids and pure solids are not included in equilibrium constant expressions.
