Equilibrium quiz
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Reactions which go into completion | Reactions which have a distinct endpoint. The reaction stops when one or more of the reactants runs out and no more products can be produced. |
| 3 reasons why reactions go into completion | 1. Gas is formed 2. A precipitate is formed (insoluble solution in a reaction) 3. A non electrolyte is formed |
| Reversible reaction | chemical reactions which can occur in both the forward and reverse directions |
| Chemical equilibrium | Reactions which appear to stop somewhere in the middle, but which are actually continuing to occur in both the forward and reverse directions simulaneously |
| Equillibrium must exist in which type of system | A closed system |
| Equillibrium | |

| Equillibrium must exist in which type of system | A closed system |
| Equillibrium | The state at which the rate of the forward and reverse reactions are equal |
| What does RECC mean when it comes to equilibrium | Rate equal concentration constant |
| Dynamic equilibrium | The state at which neither the forward or reverse reactions stop |
| All types of equilibrium | - Phase equilibrium - Solution equilibrium - Chemical equilibrium |
| phase equilibrium | occurs during phase changes ex: Ice to water |
| Solution equilibrium | - Occurs in saturated solutions - Rate of dissolving = rate of crystallization |
| Chemical equilibrium | Occurs in reversable chemical reactions |
| LeChateirs principle | When a change is applied to a system at equilibrium, the reaction will shift in such a way to relieve the change and reestablish equilibrium. |
| How does concentration affect equilibrium shifts | ADD AWAY TAKE TOWARDS (ex. if you add more of a substance, the reaction will shift away and if you remove a substance it will move towards that side) |
| How does pressure affect equilibrium shifts | if pressure is added the system will shift to the side of equilibrium which contains fewer moles, if moles on both sides are equal then pressure will have no affect on equilibrium (Increase pressure ---> fewer moles, Decrease pressure -----> more moles) |
| How does temperature affect equilibrium shifts | Increase temperature ------> Endotermic side Decrease temperature ------> Exothermic side |
| How does a catalyst affect equilibrium shifts | A catalyst will speed up both the forward and reverse reaction equally by lowering activation energies, A system at equilibrium will reach equilibrium faster if a catalyst is added. |
