Reversible reactions

Question 1

Reversible reactions

Answer 1

a chemical reaction that can go either forwards or backwards, depending on the conditions

Question 2

closed system

Answer 2

a reaction where none of the products or reactants can escape

Question 3

dynamic equillibrium

Answer 3

2 chem reactions taking place at the same time, concentrations of the reactants and products remain constant, because the rate at which the forward reaction occurs is the same rate at which the reverse reaction occurs

Question 4

position of equilibrium

Answer 4

mixture of reactants and products at which a reversible reaction is in equilibrium under a particular set of physical conditions

Question 5

contact process

Answer 5

the industrial manufacture of sulphuric acid

Question 6

haber process

Answer 6

the industrial manufacture of ammonia using Hydrogen and Nitrogen

Question 7

compromise temperature

Answer 7

a temperature that gives sufficient product and a reasonable + economic rate of reaction

Question 8

desulfurisation

Answer 8

an industrial process for removing contaminated sulfur from fossil fuels
