List four essential facts about systems in equilibrium.
Its a closed system
The forward and reverse reactions occur at the same rate
There is not an equal amount reactants and products
The concentrations of reactants and products do not change
Does adding a catalyst effect the position of equilibrium? Shift the equilibrium?
No.
What does it mean when the equilibrium constant is
larger than 1
smaller than 1
equal to 1
K >> 1 : products are favoured
K << 1 : reactants are favoured
K = 1 : neither are favoured
What is the only factor that changes the equilibrium constant K?
Temperature.
List three qualities of a closed system in dynamic equilibrium.
Concentrations of reactants and products remain constant
The rate of the forward and reverse reactions are equal
The macroscopic properties remain the same
