Reaction Rates, Equilibrium

In higher temperatures reactions are faster then cooler temperatures

Endothermic reactions absorbs heat, exothermic reactions absorbs heat,

Exothermic reactions:

  • Reactants have more energy

Endothermic

  • Products have more energy

Average rate: -(delta concentration/delta temp)/

Is expressed in mol/L*seconds

Reaction rate of a chemical reaction is stated as the change in concentration of a reactant or product per unit time

Equilibrium - Balance (balance is disrupted: out of equilibrium)

Foreword reaction: reaction to product

Reversible reaction: reactions that can go from product to reaction ( a reaction that can occur in both the forward and reverse directions)

  • N2 +3H2 —> 2NH3

  • N2 + 3H2 ←— 2NH3

Chemical equilibrium: something is put out of balance, then put into balance

aA+bB —> cC+dD

Keq: constant

Keq = [C]^c * [D^d] / [A^a][B^b]

Hetrogeneous equilibrium: when the reactants and products are presant in more than one physical state
