1
Q
Chemical equilibrium
A
State of dynamic balance in a reversible reaction when the rate of forward reaction is the same as the backwards reaction
2
Q
Reversible reaction
A
The products react to give back the reactants
both directions
3
Q
Dynamic state
A
Reactants are continuously forming products and products continuously forming reactants
4
Q
Dynamic equilibrium
A
The rate of the forward reaction if the same as the backwards reaction
5
Q
Le chateliers principle
A
If stress is applied to a system at equilibrium the system readjusts to relieve the stress applied
