What is meant by stress?

The stress is reaction of body.


What is meant by law of equilibrium?

Law of equilibrium - The principle that (at chemical equilibrium) in a reversible reaction the ratio of the rate of the forward reaction to the rate of the reverse reaction is a constant for that reaction.


Does a buffer help regain equilibrium by gaining stress in a reaction?

obviously


How are the terms stress and shift used when discussing systems at equilibrium?

In equilibrium, stress means the manner in which equilibrium is altered, and shift represents which direction the equilibrium will move to compensate for the stress.


When a reaction is at equilibrium increasing the temperature favors the reaction that releases energy as heat.?

This is False!!! According to LeChatlier's Principle, increasing the temperature is a strees on the equilibrium. To relieve that stress the reaction will shift producing more of the substances on the side of the reaction that absorbs heat energy.


What does Le Chatelier's principle state?

A reaction at equilibrium will respond to balance a change - apex (Explanation): The answer is NOT "a new equilibrium ratio will form", because although this is true, it will not necessarily always happen and is not what le chatelier's principle is about. His principle focuses on the reaction changing to cancel out or balance the change in equilibrium. Therefore, this is the correct answer.


What is used to describe the conditions of a reaction at equilibrium?

An equilibrium constant


What is used to describe the conditions of a reaction to equilibrium?

An equilibrium constant


What describes a reaction that reaches equilibrium?

The product and reactants reach a final, unchanging level.


What is difference between physical and chemical balance?

The difference is that chemical equilibrium is the equilibrium of products and reactants in a reaction while physical equilibrium is the equilibrium of the physical states of the same substance.


What is heterogeneous equilibrium?

heterogenous equilibrium is where there are different phases involved in the reaction.


When does a chemical reaction reaches equilibrium?

equilibrium means the rate of forward reaction = rate of backward reaction... there are three types of equilibrium 1. amount of products > amount of reactants 2. amount of products = amount of reactants 3. amount of products < amount of reactants
