Term
| What is dynamic equilibrium? |
|
Definition
| When both the forward and reverse reactions are happening at the same rate. |
|
|
Term
| What is Le Chatelier's Principle? |
|
Definition
| If a chemical system at equilibrium experiences a change then the equilibrium shifts to counteract the imposed change |
|
|
Term
In this equilibria what will increasing the pressure do?
2NO2(g) ⇌ N2O4(g) |
|
Definition
| The equilibria will shift to the right. |
|
|
Term
| If there are the same amount of moles of gas on both sides of an equilibrium what will changing the pressure do? |
|
Definition
| Nothing beacsue it is already balanced |
|
|
Term
How will a change in concentration affect this equilibria?
2CrO2-4(aq) + 2H+(aq) ⇌ Cr2O2-7(aq) + H20(l) |
|
Definition
| An increase in acid will lead to more H+s, so the equilibrium will move to the right. If an alkali is added the H+ reacts with the OH- which removes the H+s moving the raction to the left. |
|
|
Term
| How will tempreature affect equilibrium? |
|
Definition
| The reaction will shift in the direction of the exothermic process. |
|
|
Term
| What is the effect of a catalyst on the equilibrium? |
|
Definition
| Catalysts do not changed the position of the equilibrium but the time needed to reach equilibrium. |
