Concept Introduction:
Rate of reaction is variable and depends on concentration of reacted species, temperature, and pressure of catalyst and nature of reactant. For reversible reaction rate of forward and reverse reaction become equal. For reversible reaction rate of forward and reverse reaction become equal at some point in time. Forward reaction rate decrease as a result of decreased amounts of reactant, and after sometime when products formed. Then reverse reaction starts. When forward reaction rate and reverse reaction rate become equal, a state of

- Suppose you have two identical unopened bottles of carbonated beverage. The contents of both bottles appear to be perfectly clear. You loosen the cap of one of the bottles and hear a hiss as gas escapes, and at the same time gas bubbles appear in the liquid. The liquid in the unopened bottle still appears to be perfectly clear. Explain these observations using the concept of equilibrium and Le Chteliers principle. Remember, a carbonated beverage contains carbon dioxide gas dissolved in a liquid under pressure.arrow_forwardSketch energy diagrams to represent each of the following. Label the diagrams completely and tell how they are similar to each other and how they are different. a. Exothermic exergonic reaction with activation energy b. Exothermic exergonic reaction without activation energyarrow_forwardIn the figure, orange fish are placed in one aquarium and green fish in an adjoining aquarium. The two tanks are separated by a removable partition that is initially closed. (a) Describe what happens in the first few minutes after the partition is opened. (b) What would you expect to see several hours later? (c) How is this system analogous to dynamic chemical equilibrium?arrow_forward
