Equilibrium

    Cards (5)

    • Equilibrium is a state in a closed system were the amounts of reactants and products reach a balance, the forward reaction will be going at exactly the same rate as the backward reaction
    • Le Chatelier's principle is if you change the conditions of a reversible reaction at equilibrium, the system will try to counteract the change
    • Increase temperature, yield of endothermic reaction will increase, yield of exothermic will decrease
    • Increase pressure favours the reaction which produces less volume of gases
    • Increase concentration of a reactant, system will make more products to decrease it
