Across
- 2. Any change in concentration, pressure, or temperature that breaks the state of equilibrium in a chemical system.
- 3. The relative concentrations of reactants and products at equilibrium, indicating whether the forward or reverse reaction is favored.
- 6. The rule stating that if a stress (change) is applied to a system at equilibrium, the system will shift its position to counteract the disturbance.
- 8. Reaction A reaction in which two soluble ionic compounds in an aqueous solution form an insoluble solid called a precipitate.
- 10. The specific part of the universe being studied in a chemical reaction (e.g., the chemicals inside a beaker).
- 12. The SI unit used to measure the amount of a substance; one mole contains 6.022 X 10 (23) particles.
- 13. The force exerted by gas particles colliding with the walls of their container; affecting equilibrium only when gases are involved.
- 14. Reaction A reaction that releases energy (heat) to the surroundings; heat is treated as a product.
- 16. The starting substances in a chemical reaction, located on the left side of the arrow.
- 17. A substance that increases the rate of a reaction without being consumed; it helps reach equilibrium faster but does not change the equilibrium position.
- 19. Reaction A reaction that absorbs energy (heat) from the surroundings; heat is treated as a reactant.
- 20. The symbol used in a chemical equation to indicate that the reaction is reversible and can proceed in both directions.
Down
- 1. An insoluble solid that emerges from a liquid solution during a chemical reaction.
- 4. A measure of the average kinetic energy of particles; changing this provides energy to favor either the endothermic or exothermic direction.
- 5. The substances formed as a result of a chemical reaction, located on the right side of the arrow.
- 7. The reaction that proceeds from right to left (products reforming reactants).
- 9. A state of balance in which the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal, resulting in no net change in the concentrations of reactants and products.
- 11. The amount of a particular substance in a given volume of solution.
- 15. A chemical reaction in which the conversion of reactants to products and the conversion of products to reactants occur simultaneously.
- 18. The reaction that proceeds from left to right (reactants forming products).
