The breaking up or splitting of a compound by heat into simpler substances which do not recombine on cooling to give the original substance is known as:
A reversible reaction is said to have attained equilibrium when:
Consider the equilibrium reaction below occurring in a closed system: CaCO3 (s) ⇌ CaO(s) + CO2 (g). According to Le Chatelier’s principle:
For chemical equilibrium to be established:
Consider the following reaction system in equilibrium: 2SO2 (g) + O2 (g) ⇌ 2SO3 (g) ∆H=-197KJmol⁻¹ According to Le Chatelier’s principle, if the temperature is increased.
