Equilibrium Review

Front

What is a reversible reaction?

Back

A chemical reaction where the reactants form products and the products can reform the reactants.

Front

What happens in a system at equilibrium?

Back

Both the forward and reverse reactions continue to occur at the same rate.

Front

What is a reverse reaction?

Back

The reaction that forms reactants from products.

Front

Which statement is NOT true at equilibrium?

Back

The concentration of the reactants is equal to the concentration of the products.

Front

During equilibrium, the amount of products and reactants are __________.

Back

Constant (unchanging).

Front

Define equilibrium in a chemical reaction.

Back

A state where the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal, resulting in constant concentrations of reactants and products.

Front

What is the significance of the equilibrium constant (K)?

Back

It quantifies the ratio of the concentrations of products to reactants at equilibrium.

Front

What factors can affect the position of equilibrium?

Back

Concentration, temperature, and pressure.

Front

What is Le Chatelier's Principle?

Back

If a system at equilibrium is disturbed, the system will shift in a direction that counteracts the disturbance.

Front

What does it mean if a reaction is at dynamic equilibrium?

Back

The reaction continues to occur in both directions, but the concentrations of reactants and products remain constant.
