Equilibrium Flashcards
what is a reversible reaction
when the reactants turn into products and the products turn into reactants
what is the effect of ______ temperature of the reaction of dynamic equilibrium
a) increasing
b) decreasing
a) favours endothermic reaction
b) favours exothermic reaction
what is the effect of _____ pressure of the reaction at dynamic equilibrium
a) increasing
b) decreasing
a) favours reaction that leads to fewest molecules
b) favours reaction that leads to the most molecules
what is the effect of _____ concentration of reactants/products on a reaction at dynamic equilibrium
a) increasing
b) decreasing
a) favours forward reaction
b) favours forward reaction
what is Le Chatelier’s principle
the position of equilibrium will shift to oppose external changes
what are the 3 reaction conditions that can be changed
-concentration
-temperature
-pressure
what is dynamic equilibrium
the point in a reversible reaction when the rate of the forward and reverse reactions are the same
