chemical equilibrium correct answersis achieved when..
1) the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal
2)the concentrations of the reactants and products remain constant
N2O4(g)<==> N2O2(g)
equilibrium correct answers-the extent of a reaction
-In stoichiometry we talk about theoretical
yields, and the many reasons actual yields
may be lower.
-Another critical reason actual yields may be
lower is the **reversibility of chemical
reactions: some reactions may produce only
70% of the product you may calculate they
ought to produce
-equilibrium looks at the extent of a chemical
reaction.
-Equilibrium is a state in which there are no observable changes as time goes by.
-rates equal forward and reverse (rxn still occurs even though nothing observable is changing)
physical equilibrium correct answersH2O(l) <==> H2O (g)
Concept of eq correct answers-As the substance warms it begins to decompose:
N2O4(g) → 2NO2(g)
-When enough NO2 is formed, it can react to form N2O4:
2NO2(g) → N2O4(g).
-At equilibrium, as much N2O4 reacts to form NO2 as NO2 reacts to re-form N2O4
as the rxn progresses
[A] decreases to a constant
[B] incresases from zero to a constant
-A and B are constant when eq is acheived
[A] <==> [B]
-at no point at eq are the concentrations equal (flat lines are the same)
-when the ratio of concentrations are no longer changing (table)
double arrows correct answers-implies the process is dynamic (changing/still occuring)
v. static (rxn stopped)
graph eq correct answers-flat lines means its reached equilibrium
-lines dont always cross
forward rxn correct answers-as it proceeds, the concentrations of the products build up
-as it proceeds, the forward rxn slows down
