Reversible Reactions/Equilibrium

Cards (5)

  • Equilibrium is when the forward reaction and backwards reaction go at the same rate.
  • A reversible reaction is where the products can turn back into reactants.
  • Equilibrium is only reached when a reversible reaction happens in a CLOSED system.
  • Equilibrium position depends on

    - Pressure
    - Concentration
    - Temperature
  • Closed system: No reactants or products can leave or enter.
