How can one tell if a reaction has reached equilibrium?
All motion ceases
Does a large equilibrium constant mean that the reaction must be rapid?
NO!!! A large Equilibrium Constant means that nearly all the reactants have been used up to reach the equilibrium. Conversely a small K(eq) indicates that equilibrium is reached when very little of the reactants have been used.
When does chemical equilibrium occur?
When reactants and the products that are also contributing to a chemical reaction show no sign over change over time, chemical equilibrium has taken place. Chemical equilibrium can be called a "steady state reaction". It must be noted, however, that just because nothing has changed, it doesn't necessarily indicate that the interaction has stopped.
How do manufacturers make the reaction continue to make ammonia once the reaction has reached equilibrium?
You can actually control production of products or consumption of reactants by changing the physical conditions like temperature and pressure. In industrial manufacturing of Ammonia, it is desirable to get as much product (ammonia) as possible, hence manufacturers continue the reaction to do so.
A word that means evenly spread out?
To have reached a state of equilibrium.
When a systime has reached chemical equilibrium the concentrations of the reactants and products?
When a system has reached chemical equilibrium, the concentrations of the reactants and product remain constant.
How can one tell if a reaction has reached equilibrium?
All motion ceases
What correctly describes any chemical reaction that has reached equilibrium?
Forward and reverse reactions continue with no effect on the concentraction of the reactants and products.
If a chemical reaction has reached equilibrium and you lower the pressure of the system while keeping the temperature constant what happens to the equilibrium of the reaction?
If all the reactants occupy more volume than all of the products, the reverse reaction will be favored. If all the reactants occupy less volume than all of the products, the forward reaction will be favored. If the products and reagents have the same volume, the equilibrium will not change.
If a reaction does not go to completion but goes to a point where the reactants are being reproduced at the same rate as the products the reaction has reached a state called what?
The equilibrium position.
What is true of a dynamic equilibrium?
When the concentration of the reactants is equal to the concentration of the products and does not change over time, the system has reached dynamic equilibrium. Dynamic equilibrium means that the reaction is still occurring and does not stop. The reaction never reaches completion, because the reverse reaction is moving at the same rate as the forward reaction. The products and reactants are balanced. The reactants are producing at the same speed that the products are changing back into the reactants. When a reaction is in dynamic equilibrium, it is hard to tell that a reaction is occurring. There is no net change in the concentration of the products or reactants because both forward and reverse reactions are moving at the same rate.
What happens to the amounts of reactant and products after a reaction has reached chemical equilibrium?
The "amounts" of reactants and products DO change in a reversible reaction. What doesn't change is the concentration of these reactants and products AT EQUILIBRIUM. And also what does not change is the total mass of the system.
What do you mean by equilibrium constant?
It is the ratio of the concentrations of products to the concentrations of reactants.
Does a large equilibrium constant mean that the reaction must be rapid?
NO!!! A large Equilibrium Constant means that nearly all the reactants have been used up to reach the equilibrium. Conversely a small K(eq) indicates that equilibrium is reached when very little of the reactants have been used.
What does is mean when a system has reached equilibrium?
if there is no motion of a lever around a fulcrum, then how do the torques compare? the torques must be equal. this does not necessarily imply that the forces or the lever arms involved are equal. when this situation occurs we say the lever system is in equilibrium.

Do the forward and reverse reactions stop at equilibrium?
A Reversible reactions is a chemical phenomenon. This happens when in a reaction the reactants transform from the reactants into there products. This is what happens normally in a reaction. However in a reversible reaction the product that has been form goes back into its reactants. Then the newly formed reactants react into there products and the process is repeated. In plain english it means the what you have created returns into its original form. Its much clearer in a equation: A → B represents the transformation of the reactants (A) into the product (B), Once a product is formed its decomposes into its reactants B → A and so on is the process repeated i.e A ←→ B.
