Q: Why do you think the gas changed color from one temperature to the next in todays demo?
Colorless
Equilibrium Established
What is Equilibrium?
Equilibrium = when two offsetting processes occur at equal rates, producing a state of balance where no net change is observed.
The following are true of equilibrium: The rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction The concentrations of reactants and products are constant (that is, they no longer change) Reactants are still consumed and products are still produced A catalyst is a substance that can be added to a reaction in order to increase the rate at which equilibrium is reached; however, it does not cause a shift in the equilibrium
1: All reactant but no product yet 2: Some reactant consumed and some product formed 3: Equilibrium has been reached; concentrations of reactants and products remain the same
