(6 cards)
1
Q
What is a reversible reaction
A
Reaction where reactants can change into products and the products and the products can change back into reactants
2
Q
Examples of reversible reactions
A
Change of states
Changing between hydrated and anhydrous forms of salts
3
Q
Whats an equilibrium
A
Reversible reaction in which the amount of each reactant/ product remains consistent1
4
Q
Whats a static equilibrium
A
All processes which might disturb the equilibrium have stopped.
5
Q
Whats a dynamic equilibrium
A
Rate of forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction resulting in the amount of reactants and products remaining constant
6
Q
What does a dynamic equilibrium occur in
A
Only occurs in a closed system which means that only reactants are products present
