Apologia Chem M15A

Chemical equilibrium

QuestionAnswer
chemical equilibrium the point at which the forward and reverse reactions in a chemical equation have EQUAL reaction rates
When chemical equilibrium occurs, the AMOUNTS of each substance in the chemical equation will not CHANGE, despite the fact that both reactions still proceed.
A DOUBLE arrow indicates that a particular reaction can operate in _______________ direction. either
FORWARD reaction when the reaction proceeds in the NORMALLY notated manner
REVERSE reaction when the PRODUCTS in a reaction begin REVERSING the original process
Chemical reactions _____ ______ start at chemical equilibrium. do NOT
The forward and reverse reactions in an equilibrium have ___________________ rates. different
K = equilibrium constant
The "eq" subscript on each concentration term on Equation 15.1 reminds us that to calculate the equilibrium constant, we must ALWAYS use the concentrations of the substances once equilibrium is reached.
The equilibrium constant never changes as long as the ______________________ doesn't change. temperature
The equilibrium constant can be used as a gauge to tell us the _____________________ _________________________ of reactants and products when the reaction reaches equilibrium. relative concentrations
If the equilibrium constant for a chemical reaction is very LARGE, there will be a lot of PRODUCTS and only a FEW reactants.
If the equilibrium constant for a chemical reaction is SMALL, there will be a lot of REACTANTS and only a FEW products.
When the equilibrium constant is close to 1, then there will be approximately EQUAL amounts of reactants and products.
When an equilibrium reaction has more PRODUCTS than reactants at equilibrium, we say it is weighted TOWARDS the PRODUCTS side of the equation.
When an equilibrium reaction has more REACTANTS than products at equilibrium, we say it is weighted TOWARDS the REACTANTS side of the equation.
If K is a LARGE number, then the arrow for the reaction should point to the products.
If K is a SMALL number, then the arrow for the reaction should point to the reactants.
If K is close to 1, we need to keep a double arrow.
When a solid or liquid appears in a chemical equation, it is NOT INCLUDED in equation 15.1.
When a molecule or atom appears in the aqueous phase in a chemical equation, we INCLUDE IT in equation 15.1.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
