(6 cards)
1
Q
Irreversible reactions
A
Reaction proceeds in 1 direction
- Goes to completion
- Max product determined by limiting reactant
2
Q
Reversible reactions
A
Reaction can proceed in 1 of 2 ways
- Forward: toward products; “right”
- Reverse: toward reactants, “left”
3
Q
Dynamic equilibrium
A
reactions occurring at the same rate
4
Q
Le Chatelier’s Principle
A
States that when a chemical system experiences a stress, it will react so as to restore equilibrium
5
Q
Kinetic Products
A
Higher in free energy and can form at lower temperatures
6
Q
Thermodynamic Products
A
Lower in free energy and are more stable
