chemical equilibrium
|
the condition in which the concentrations of all reactants and products in a closed system cease to change with time
|
|
haber process
|
the catalyst system and conditions of temperature and pressure developed by Fritz Haber and coworkers for the formation of NH3 form H2 and N2.
|
|
Law of Mass Action
|
the rules by which the equilibrium constant is expressed in terms of the concentrations of reactants and products, in accordance with the balanced chemical equation for the reaction
|
|
equilibrium constant expression
|
the expression that describes the relationship among the concentrations (or partial pressures) of the substances present in a system at equilibrium
|
|
equilibrium constant
|
Kc the numberical value of the equilibrium constant expression for a system at equilibrium
|
|
homogeneous equilibria
|
the equilibrium established between reactant and product substances that are all in the same phase
|
|
heterogeneous equilibria
|
the equilibrium established between substances in two or more different phases, for example, a gas and solid
|
|
reaction quotient
|
Q the value that is obtained when concentrations of reactants and products are inserted into the equilibrium expression
|
|
Le Chatelier's Principle
|
states that if a system at equilibrium is disturbed by a change in temperature, pressure, or the concentration of one of the components, the system will shift its equilibrium position so as to counteract the effect of the disturbance
