Why do cells maintain biochemical reactions far from equilibrium conditions?

Because equilibrium is a progressive linear advance towards a steady state in which the organism deteriorates and dies.


What are two chemical reactions for which a galvanic cell may go dead?

Cell Reaches equilibrium


Equilibrium is achieved when the and chemical reactions continue to take place at the same rate?

Equilibrium occurs when the forward and backward reactions happen at the same rate


What is a statically indeterminate beam?

If you can solve the beam reactions by the equations of equilibrium, then it is statically deterrminate. If not, that is, more unknown reactions than the equations of equilibrium, then it is indeterminate, and you need to know something about its deformation to solve the reactions.


Why are equilibrium expressions not written for reactions that go to completion?

Equilibrium expressions cannot be written for complete reactions, because you have to have the forward rate, as well as a reverse rate. Complete reactions do not have reverse rates, because they become complete, and all of the reactants are used up. Complete reactions only produce products, and the products don't produce reactants. word count for answer: 52


What happens if the forward and reverse reactions are equal?

Equilibrium.


Why a reaction needs to take place at equilibrium?

Many chemical reactions, like combustion , go to completion and not to equilibrium. It is normally desirable to give a chemical reaction time to reach equilibrium in order you get the maximum yield of one or more products.


How does Ka affect equilibrium position?

Equilibrium shifts towards the higher Ka


Do all reactions exhibit equilibrium?

yes,there must be equlibrium


What characterizes a reaction at equilibrium?

The forward and backward reactions are equal.


When the stabilized state of an equilibrium system is altered further chemical reactions begin until a new equilibrium is reached?

True


What effects do catalysts have on an equilibrium system?

They catalyse both the forward and reverse reactions, so the position of equilibrium is unaffected. The system will however reach equilibrium more quickly.
