Equilibria Flashcards
What is one characteristic of a reaction at dynamic equilibrium?
-The forward and backward reactions occur at the same rate
Why does increasing the pressure increase the yield of the product
Because there are fewer moles of gas on the RHS than the LHS
If the yield of a product is already very high, why doesn’t pressure need to be increased
Because the yield is already very high and doesn’t need to be increased any further.
What is meant by the term dynamic equilibrium
The forward and backward reactions occur at the same rate and the concentration is the reactants and the products remain constant.
When conducting electrolysis with dilute hydrochloric acid, why does the syringe on the positive electrode have a lower volume?
Because chlorine dissolves in the solution/water.
