CHEM 0110 Chapter Notes - Chapter 14: Chemical Equilibrium, Dynamic Equilibrium, Methanation
Document Summary
Arrows indicate the degree of completion of the reactions. Single arrow - indicates that all the reactant molecules are converted to product molecules at the end. Double arrow - indicates that the reaction stops when only some of the reactant molecules have been converted to product molecules. Equilibrium - forward process and backward process are both occurring, just no change in amounts of rcts/prdts. When a reaction starts, the reactants are consumed and products are made. The reactant concentrations decrease and the product concentrations increase. Eventually, products can react to re-form some of the reactants, assuming that the products are not allowed to escape. Processes that proceed in both the forward and reverse directions are said to be. Chem equilibrium: the state reached by a reaction mixture when the rates of forward and reverse rxns become equal. Concentrations of reactants and products are equal.
