Chemical Equilibria

These flashcards cover key vocabulary terms related to Chemical Equilibria, including definitions of concepts essential for understanding the nature and dynamics of equilibrium systems.

Chemical Equilibrium

A dynamic state in which the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal, resulting in constant concentrations of reactants and products.

Dynamic Equilibrium

A condition where two opposing processes occur simultaneously at the same rate, leading to stable concentrations of reactants and products.

Reversible Reaction

A chemical reaction where reactants can be converted to products and products can also be converted back to reactants.

Forward Rate

The rate at which reactants are converted into products in a reaction.

Reverse Rate

The rate at which products are converted back into reactants in a reaction.

Concentration at Equilibrium

The relative amounts of reactants and products present in a system at equilibrium, which can vary based on the specific reaction.

Equilibrium Point

The state at which the concentration of reactants and products remains constant, indicating a balance between the forward and reverse reactions.

Vapor Pressure

The pressure exerted by a vapor in equilibrium with its liquid in a closed container, demonstrating dynamic equilibrium.

Stable Concentration

The condition where the amounts of reactants and products do not change over time, indicating that dynamic equilibrium has been achieved.
