Definition
| When the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction |
|
|
Term
K = [Products]x
[Reactants]y |
|
Definition
| Equilibrium expression: x & y are the coefficients in the balanced equation |
|
|
Term
Q = [Products]x
[Reactants]y |
|
Definition
| Before equilibrium has been established: used to determine direction of reaction |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Q must increase to reach equilibrium so reaction proceeds right |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Q must decrease to reach equilibrium so reaction proceeds left |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Reaction is at equilibrium, so reaction proceeds in both directions at the same rate |
|
