|
What is the equation for energy change? |
Energy Change = energy of bond breaking - energy of bond making |
|
What is a reversible reaction? |
A chemical reaction that can go forwards or backwards |
|
What is a closed system? |
When no reactants are added and no products are removed |
|
What is equilibrium? |
When a reversible reaction occurs in a closed system and the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the backward reaction. |
