What is equilibrium as it applies to chemical changes?

Answer: the study of ...

• how fast a chemical change takes place

• how high the activation energy (Ea) is for a chemical change

• how forward a chemical reaction goes forward

• how often particles collide and interact per second

If in the chemical change: A(aq) + B(aq) -> C (aq) ,

and more A is added, then what happens?

• The Kc or Keq for this aqueous reaction stays the same.

• The Kc or Keq for this aqueous reaction changes.

• This aqueous reaction shifts "to the right" toward products.

• This aqueous reaction shifts "to the left" toward reactants.
