What are reversible reactions?
Reactions that take place in both forward and reverse directions.
1 of 18
What does dynamic equilibrium mean?
The forward and reverse reactions are taking place at equilibrium.
2 of 18
Do concentrations of reactants and products change at equilibrium.
No.
3 of 18
At equilibrium, what is the relationship between the rates of the forward and reverse reactions?
The rates are equal.
4 of 18
What type of system is required for a reaction to remain in equilibrium?
A closed system.
5 of 18
What does the position of equilibrium indicate?
The extent of the reaction.
6 of 18
If concentration of R & P changes in a reversible reaction, what may change also?
Position of equilibrium.
7 of 18
If pressure changes in a reversible reaction, what may also change?
Position of equilibrium.
8 of 18
What does le Chatelier's principle state?
That when a system in equilibrium is subjected to external changes, the system readjusts itself to minimise the effect of the change.
9 of 18
What is the effect of increasing concentration of reactants on an equilibrium system?
Equilibrium shifts to the right, as more products are formed.
10 of 18
What is the effect of increasing concentration of products on an equilibrium system?
Equilibrium shifts to the left, as more reactants are formed.
11 of 18
What is the effect of decreasing concentration of reactants on an equilibrium system?
Equilibrium shifts to the left, to increase the number of reactants formed.
12 of 18
What is the effect of decreasing concentration of products on an equilibrium system?
Equilibrium shifts to the right, to increase the number of products formed.
13 of 18
How does increasing temperature alter the position of equilibrium?
It shifts in the endothermic direction, (positive deltaH)
14 of 18
How does decreasing temperature alter the position of equilibrium?
It shifts in the exothermic direction, (negative deltaH)
15 of 18
How does increasing pressure alter the position of equilibrium?
It shifts to the side with least moles, in an attempt to minimise the change in pressure.
16 of 18
How does decreasing pressure alter the position of equilibrium?
It shifts to the side with most moles in an attempt to minimise the change of pressure.
17 of 18
How does the addition of a catalyst alter the position of equilibrium?
It doesn’t alter the position.
