Equilibrium
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| what are reversible reversible reactions | a reversible reaction is one which the products react to give back the reactants |
| whats chemical equilibrium | state of dynamic balance in a reversible reaction where the rate of forward reaction is the same as the rate of backward reaction |
| whats dynamic equilbirum | is when the rate of forward reaction is equal to the rate of backward reaction. |
| closed system | no matter can enter or leave. |
| le chateliers principle | states that if a stress is applied to a system at equilibrium,the system readjusts to relieve the stress applied |
| what does increasing pressure always do | drives the equilibrium toward the side with fewer molecules. |
| iron(III)chloride and potassium thiocyanate | becomes dark red when left in ice as heat is released,and it turns light yellow when in hot water as it consumes the heat |
| Why does a catalyst have no effect on the value of Kc? | the products are produced and used up at the same rate. w/o catalyst |
| what are exxamples of stress in lcp | pressure,temperature and concentration |
| where is equilibrium used in the industry | to produce sulfuric acid |
| Why does a change in concentration of reactants and products not affect the value of Kc? | even though the r or p may increase or decrease as the reaction shifts the ratio of eq stays the same |
| how does temperature change kc | a change in temp determines whether eqb is pushed forward or back. |
| why does a change in r and p not have a affect on the value of kc | only shift the position of the eqb to favour the reactants or product to reestablish eqb |
| why does pressure not affect kc | However, it does not change the ratio of the concentrations of reactants and products at equilibrium. |
