GCSE Chemistry - Reversible Reactions and Equilibrium #49

The video tutorial explains the concept of chemical equilibrium, focusing on reversible reactions. It describes how forward and backward reactions occur at different rates and how equilibrium is achieved when these rates equalize. The position of equilibrium can shift based on conditions like temperature. The tutorial also covers the exothermic and endothermic nature of reversible reactions, using the example of hydrated and anhydrous copper sulphate. A closed system is necessary for equilibrium to be reached. The video concludes with a recap of key points.

What occurs to the position of equilibrium when heat is added to an endothermic reaction?

What is the significance of conducting a reversible reaction in a closed system?

Describe the relationship between endothermic and exothermic reactions in the context of reversible reactions.
