Flashcards: Mastering Chemical Equilibrium Concepts — 10 cartões

Chemical Equilibrium — definition?

A state where reactant and product concentrations remain constant.

Equilibrium — definition?

Balanced state with constant concentrations.

Dynamic Equilibrium — role?

Reactions occur in both directions at equal rates.

Dynamic Equilibrium — difference?

Reactions occur simultaneously, concentrations constant.

Equilibrium Constant (K) — significance?

Indicates the ratio of products to reactants at equilibrium.

Equilibrium Constant (K) — meaning?

Ratio of product to reactant concentrations.

Le Chatelier's Principle — role?

Predicts system response to changes.

Factors Affecting Equilibrium — key?

Concentration, temperature, pressure.

Catalysts — effect on equilibrium?

Speed up, but do not change position.

Pressure — how affects gaseous reactions?

Shift toward fewer moles of gas.
