What is dynamic equilibrium?Show answer
A reversible reaction reaches dynamic equilibrium when the forward and backward reactions proceed at equal rates in a closed system, so the concentrations of all species stay constant (though the reactions continue). Both reactions are still occurring; nothing has stopped.
What is the meaning of ?Show answer
A large () means products are favoured at equilibrium; a small () means reactants are favoured. The value of depends only on temperature. Changing concentration or pressure shifts the position of equilibrium but does not change .
What is q1?Show answer
Write the expression for and state its units. [2 marks]
What is q2?Show answer
State the effect on the value of of (a) adding a catalyst and (b) raising the temperature of an endothermic reaction. [2 marks]
What is q3?Show answer
mol of A and mol of B in a dm cubed flask reach equilibrium with mol of C formed. Calculate . [3 marks]
