Chemical Equilibrium and Acid-Base Reaction Principles
Dynamic Equilibrium and System Properties
1. Dynamic Equilibrium (⇄): This is a dynamic, not static, state. Temperature relates to the speed of molecules. Concentration formulas include C = n/v, n = C * v, and v = n/C.
- Rate: The rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction.
- Concentration: Concentrations remain constant at equilibrium, though they are not necessarily equal.
- Molecules: Molecules are destroyed and created at the same speed.
- System Type: Must be a closed system where no matter flows in or out. It requires constant temperature (no phase change, color change, or pressure change).
Inert Gases and Catalysts
- Inert Gases: Adding an inert gas (e.g., Ar, He) results in no shift in equilibrium.
- Catalysts: Adding a catalyst
