Chapter 17 - Equilibrium: The Extent of Chemical Reactions

Kinetics and equilibrium

Kinetics and equilibrium

________ are two separate characteristics of a reaction system, and the pace and extent of a reaction are not always connected.

Equilibrium

________ refers to the length of a reaction, the concentrations of reactant and product existing after an infinite amount of time, i.e.

nitrogen

At 1000k, there is "no reaction "between ________ and oxygen.

particular temperature

At a(n) ________, the magnitude of K indicates how far a reaction progresses toward the product.

K

________ is used to quantify the degree of response.

Kinetics

________ refers to the pace (or speed) of a reaction or the amount of reactant that vanishes (or product that arrives) per unit time.

Qc=Kc

________ when the system reaches equilibrium at a given temperature.
