Reaction Rates
Smaller particle size causes what change to reaction rate?
Increases rate
At equilibrium, what is true about forward and reverse reactions?
Rates are equal
Cooling a system removes what?
Heat
On a concentration vs. time graph, equilibrium occurs when…
Lines level off (no change)
Which factor increases reaction rate in liquids the most?
Increasing temperature
Does equilibrium mean the reaction stops?
No, it continues at equal rates
When the reaction shifts towards the right, it will make more...
products
What does it mean when reactant and product concentrations are constant?
System is at equilibrium
Why does increasing temperature speed up reactions?
Particles move faster → more collisions
If forward rate is greater than reverse rate, what happens?
More products form
When the reaction shifts to the left, it will make more...
reactants
If reactants and products are equal at 9 seconds, what happened at that time?
They reached equal concentration
