How can one tell if a reaction has reached its equilibrium?
All motion ceases
When is reaction in chemical equilibruim?
a reaction is in chemical equilibrium when the rate of evaporation is equal to the rate of condensation. molecules are leaving and returning to the container at the same rate. Equilibrium can only be reached in a close container.
If a chemical reaction has reached equilibrium and you lower the pressure of the system while keeping the temperature constant what happens to the equilibrium of the reaction?
If all the reactants occupy more volume than all of the products, the reverse reaction will be favored. If all the reactants occupy less volume than all of the products, the forward reaction will be favored. If the products and reagents have the same volume, the equilibrium will not change.
What happens to the equilibrium if the pressure is increased?
equilibrium will shift to the side of the equation with the least moles in attempt to reduce pressure in the haber process N2+3H2 <--> 2NH3 an increase in pressure causes equilibrium to shift the right because it has the least moles (2 instead of 4) <--> represents a reversible reaction sign
How does a system respond to change once it has reached equilibrium?
At equilibrium its not changing (any more).
How can one tell if a reaction has reached its equilibrium?

How do chemical manufacturers make the reaction continue to make ammonia once the reaction has reached equilibrium?
By Le Chetalier's principle - remove product. This encourages the reaction to produce more product to balance the equilibrium.

Does a large equilibrium constant mean that the reaction must be rapid?
NO!!! A large Equilibrium Constant means that nearly all the reactants have been used up to reach the equilibrium. Conversely a small K(eq) indicates that equilibrium is reached when very little of the reactants have been used.
When does chemical equilibrium occur?
When reactants and the products that are also contributing to a chemical reaction show no sign over change over time, chemical equilibrium has taken place. Chemical equilibrium can be called a "steady state reaction". It must be noted, however, that just because nothing has changed, it doesn't necessarily indicate that the interaction has stopped.

What is reached when the number of molecules crossing the membrane is the same in both directions?
equilibrium is reached equilibrium is reached
If a reaction does not go to completion but goes to a point where the reactants are being reproduced at the same rate as the products the reaction has reached a state called what?
The equilibrium position.
If a chemical reaction has reached equilibrium and you lower the pressure of the system while keeping the temperature constant what happens to the equilibrium of the reaction?
If all the reactants occupy more volume than all of the products, the reverse reaction will be favored. If all the reactants occupy less volume than all of the products, the forward reaction will be favored. If the products and reagents have the same volume, the equilibrium will not change.
What correctly describes any chemical reaction that has reached equilibrium?
Forward and reverse reactions continue with no effect on the concentraction of the reactants and products.
What happens to the equilibrium if the pressure is increased?
equilibrium will shift to the side of the equation with the least moles in attempt to reduce pressure in the haber process N2+3H2 <--> 2NH3 an increase in pressure causes equilibrium to shift the right because it has the least moles (2 instead of 4) <--> represents a reversible reaction sign
What is meant by law of equilibrium?
Law of equilibrium - The principle that (at chemical equilibrium) in a reversible reaction the ratio of the rate of the forward reaction to the rate of the reverse reaction is a constant for that reaction.
