10.1.1 Characteristics of Dynamic Equilibrium

Cards (35)

  • Reversible reactions are chemical reactions that can proceed in both forward and reverse directions.
  • At equilibrium, the concentrations of reactants and products remain constant in a reversible reaction.
  • Reversible reactions differ from unidirectional reactions in that they can have products turning back into reactants.
  • Equilibrium is reached in a reversible reaction when the forward and reverse reaction rates are equal.
  • Match the reaction characteristic with its type:
    Direction | Reversible Reaction ↔️ Proceeds in both forward and reverse directions
    Completion | Irreversible Reaction ↔️ Goes to completion
    Symbol | Reversible Reaction ↔️ \rightleftharpoons
  • Reversible reactions go to completion, meaning all reactants are converted to products.
    False
  • Dynamic equilibrium occurs when the forward and reverse reaction rates are equal.
  • Order the reaction characteristics by type:
    1️⃣ Direction: Reversible Reaction - Proceeds in both forward and reverse directions
    2️⃣ Completion: Irreversible Reaction - Goes to completion
    3️⃣ Equilibrium: Reversible Reaction - Equilibrium is established
    4️⃣ Symbol: Irreversible Reaction - \rightarrow
  • Irreversible reactions establish an equilibrium state.
    False
  • Dynamic equilibrium demonstrates continuous activity at a molecular level.
  • Match the condition necessary for dynamic equilibrium with its description:
    Closed System ↔️ No reactants or products can enter or leave the system
    Constant Temperature ↔️ Maintains stable reaction rates
    Equal Forward and Reverse Rates ↔️ Reaction rates are balanced
  • A closed system is required for dynamic equilibrium because no reactants or products can enter or leave the system.
  • What is a closed system in the context of dynamic equilibrium?
    No matter exchange
  • Maintaining a constant temperature is necessary for dynamic equilibrium because it keeps reaction rates stable.
  • For dynamic equilibrium, the rates of the forward and reverse reactions must be equal
  • Why does a constant temperature prevent changes in reaction rates during dynamic equilibrium?
    Keeps reaction rates stable
  • Order the steps to describe the equal rates in dynamic equilibrium.
    1️⃣ Reactants are converted to products
    2️⃣ Products are converted back to reactants
    3️⃣ Forward rate equals reverse rate
  • Reversible reactions can proceed in both the forward and reverse directions
  • What happens to the concentrations of reactants and products at equilibrium in a reversible reaction?
    They remain constant
  • Match the characteristics with the type of reaction.
    Proceeds in both directions ↔️ Reversible reaction
    Goes to completion ↔️ Irreversible reaction
  • In dynamic equilibrium, the forward and reverse reaction rates are equal, but the concentrations of reactants and products may differ.
  • What is a closed system necessary for dynamic equilibrium?
    No matter exchange
  • The equilibrium position indicates whether the equilibrium is shifted towards the reactants or the products
  • What is the key difference between reversible and unidirectional reactions?
    Direction
  • Reversible reactions allow reactants to form products and products to turn back into reactants
  • Reversible reactions go to completion.
    False
  • Match the type of reaction with its characteristic:
    Reversible Reaction ↔️ Proceeds in both directions
    Irreversible Reaction ↔️ Proceeds only in one direction
  • Dynamic equilibrium is a state where the forward and reverse reaction rates are equal
  • At dynamic equilibrium, the concentrations of reactants and products remain constant.
  • Conditions necessary for dynamic equilibrium to be established:
    1️⃣ Closed System
    2️⃣ Constant Temperature
    3️⃣ Equal Forward and Reverse Rates
  • A closed system allows the exchange of matter with the surroundings.
    False
  • The forward reaction rate is the speed at which reactants form products
  • Le Chatelier's principle states that a system in equilibrium will shift to relieve stress.
  • Adding reactants to a system in equilibrium shifts the equilibrium towards products
  • Increasing pressure in a system favors the side with more moles of gas.
    False
