Reversible Reactions/ Equlibrium Flashcards
(7 cards)
As reactants turn into products the rate forward ? And the back reaction .
As reactants turn into products the rate forward decreases And the back reaction increases
What happens at equilibrium
Both the rates of the forward reaction and back reaction are equal. Meaning that they stay at the same constant volume
If one way is exothermic the other MUST be ?
If one way is exothermic the other MUST be endothermic
Equilibrium favours the side with ?
Equilibrium favours the side with the most molecules
Adding heat to an endothermic reaction ?
Increases rate of forward reaction- shifts to the right as more products
Cooling am endothermic reaction increases ?
And shifts to the ?
Cooling an endothermic reaction increases back reaction
Shifts to the left
What kinda system can equilibrium be achieved in?
A closed system
Prevents products and reactants escaping
