What is the first step in modeling dynamic equilibria?
Place 50 marbles in container A (reactants) and zero marbles in container B (products).
What happens during the forward reaction in the dynamic equilibrium model?
Transfer half the marbles from A to B.
What occurs during the reverse reaction in the dynamic equilibrium model?
Transfer one quarter of the marbles from B back to A.
How many times should the steps for modeling dynamic equilibria be repeated?
6 times.
What indicates that dynamic equilibria has been achieved?
Concentration is equal and the rate of forward and reverse reactions are equal and not zero.
List three limitations of the dynamic equilibrium model.
- Does not show constant exchange of matter
- Does not show collisions that occur in reality
- No energy change is shown.
True or False: In dynamic equilibria, the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are not equal.
False.
Fill in the blank: Dynamic equilibria is achieved when the concentration is _______.
[constant].
