Equilibrium
What must be true for a chemical system to have reached equilibrium?
What is assumed to be true when calculating an equilibrium constant (K) for a reaction occurring in aqueous solution?
In carbonated beverages, CO_2 dissolves in water forming carbonic acid; what role does understanding its K_c play in packaging these drinks?
Which quantity is represented by the lowercase letter "k" in chemical equilibrium expressions?
If the rate constants for the forward and backward reactions are represented by kf and kr respectively, how significant is the ratio of kf/kr in calculating the value of K for an equilibrating system?
Iodine is reacted with chlorine gas in order to form iodine monochloride with the following equation: I₂(s) +Cl₂(g) ⇌ 2ICl (g) . It is found that it occurs in a 2.0 L container, and that the reaction has now reached equilibrium. There is known to be 55 grams of solid iodine as well as a concentration of Cl₂ being 1.5*1...
