Dynamic Equilibrium (VCE SSCE Chemistry): Flashcards

Reactions occurring in both forward & reverse directions

Double arrows ($\rightleftharpoons$)

Exchanges only energy with surroundings, not matter

Exchanges both matter & energy with surroundings

Forward & reverse reactions continue at equal rates

Equal

$\text{N}_2(g) + 3\text{H}_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2\text{NH}_3(g)$

Energy required to break bonds of reactants

Exothermic

How much product forms when system reaches equilibrium
