2021-2022 Overview Of Equilibrium

• When particles have Effective collisions (EC), particles (reactants) rearrange into new groupings (products) and we say there is a chemical reaction (rxn).
  

• Question: THEN WHAT?
  

• Irreversible rxn :
  

• Reversible rxn:
  

Virtually All Chemical Reactions are ____________________

• ?
  

• Big condition needed for a reaction to be reversible: Closed system -
  

• Big Take Aways for Equilibrium:
  
  • Time independent, [ ] of each species are constant (but don't have to be ).
    

• ? What happens if you disturb Equilibrium?
  

• Big Take Away: Can't get there (changed system), so create new one
