Q>Keq
favors the forward direction
Q<Keq
favors the reverse direction
Q=Keq
no direction affinity
exothermic reaction
negative
endothermic reaction
positive
raising the temperature of an exothermic reaction will shift the reaction in the
reverse direction
decreasing the temperature of an exothermic reaction will shift the reaction in the
forward direction
raising the temperature of an endothermic reaction will shift the reaction in the
forward direction
decreasing the temperature of an endothermic reaction will shift the reaction in the
reverse direction
reversible reactions
reactions that can take place in both directions
equilibrium
when the concentrations of the reactants and products stop changing
what is equal at equilibrium?
the rates of the forward and reverse reactions
what happens to k if you flip a reaction?
inverse. 1/k
what happens to k if you multiply a reaction by a factor?
k is multiplied by the same factor
