Reversible Reactions Flashcards
What’s a reversible reaction
Reaction where the reactant turn into products but also that’s products can turn into reactants
What does this symbol mean ,=‘
Reversible reaction
What is equilibrium
When the rates of forward and backward reaction are the same
What conditions need to be met for equilibrium to be established
A reversible reaction with a closed system
What kind of reaction conditions can affect the position of the equilibrium
Changes in concentration, pressure or temperature
What’s le chatelliers principle
The position of the equilibrium with shift to oppose any chnage
How will the increasing conc of the reactants affect the position of equilibrium
Shift right to oppose change
How will increasing the temp affect equilibrium
Shift in the endothermic direction to oppose change
How will increasing pressure affect equilibrium
Shifts to side with fewest moles of gas particles
How will decreasing the conc of one reactant affect equilibrium
Shifts left to oppose change
Decreasing temp affects equilibrium
Shifts in exothermic direction
Decreasing the pressure affect equilibrium
Shifts to the side with the greatest moles of gas particles
