Different physical states
A heterogeneous equilibrium refers to a chemical equilibrium in a system that contains multiple phases, such as a solid, liquid, and gas phase. In these systems, the concentrations of reactants and products in each phase are related according to the equilibrium constant.
Adding inert gas to an equilibrium system does not affect the distribution of reactants and products. The inert gas does not participate in the reaction and therefore does not change the concentrations of the reactants and products in the system.
An equilibrium system is one in which the forward and reverse reactions proceed at the same rate, resulting in no overall change in the concentrations of reactants and products. At equilibrium, the concentrations of reactants and products remain constant, although the reactions continue to occur. The equilibrium state is dynamic, with molecules constantly interconverting between reactants and products.
The concentrations of reactants and products are modified.
The reaction quotient is the ratio of products to reactants not at equilibrium. If the system is at equilibrium then Q becomes Keq the equilibrium constant. Q = products/reactants If Q < Keq then there are more reactants then products so the system must shift toward the products to achieve equilibrium. If Q > Keq then there are more products than reactants and the system must shift toward the reactants to reach equilibrium.
At equilibrium, the concentrations of all reactants and products remain constant. Both the reactants and products are present in the system, but the rates of the forward and reverse reactions become equal, resulting in no net change in concentrations.
The system is in equilibrium.
When a system reaches chemical equilibrium, the concentrations of reactants and products remain constant over time. The rate of the forward and reverse reactions becomes equal, and there is no further change in the amounts of reactants and products.
More Reactants will form!!
A numerically large equilibrium constant (Keq) indicates that the equilibrium lies far to the right, with more products present at equilibrium than reactants. This means that the forward reaction is favored, leading to a higher concentration of products compared to reactants in the equilibrium state.
Changing the temperature of the system. Altering the pressure of the system. Adding or removing reactants or products from the system. Introducing a catalyst that shifts the equilibrium position. Changing the volume of the system. Modifying the concentration of reactants or products in the system.
An equilibrium process is a state in which reactants and products reach a balance, meaning the forward and reverse reactions occur at the same rate. This results in no net change in the concentrations of reactants and products over time. The system is said to be at dynamic equilibrium.
