ap chem unit 7 equilibrium

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
