Chemical Equilibria

Question 1

Steady State

Answer 1

System which is unchanging at the visible and molecular levels
Ex. 2NaCl-> Na + Cl2

Question 2

Dynamic Equilibrium

Answer 2

System which is unchanging at the visible level, but has constant change

Question 3

Characteristics of equilibrium system

Answer 3

1. closed system-no substance can enter or leave reaction(if gas lid must be opened so gas can escape)
2. Aqueous substances and gases only
3. Liquids & solids have no effect on the system
4. Catalysts speed up both forward and reverse reaction.equilibrium is reached quicker but not affected

Question 4

Concentration

Answer 4

[ ] [ ]

Question 5

Graphs: where is equilibrium reached? What’s favoured p’s or r’s

Answer 5

At the point where they are both parallel to each other

Question 6

Haber Process??????

Answer 6

Industrial process for making ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen. Important in making explosives & fertilizers
