Chapter 18 Reaction Rates And Equilibrium
In layman’s terms, equilibrium is defined as a state of balance due to equal reactions of opposing forces, and today we’ll be talking all about it with regards to the scientific study of chemistry, focusing on such topics as reaction rates. What can you tell us? Let’s find out.
- 1.How are rates of chemical change expressed?

- A.
Reactant, product
- B.
Cataltyst, energy

Interpret
- 12.What happens when you put more reacting particles into a fixed volume?
- A.

- 16.What does a catalyst do?
- A.
A catalyst permits reactions to proceed at a lower energy than is normally required. A catalyst lowers the activation energy.
- B.
A catalyst permits reactions to proceed at a higher energy than is normally required. A catalyst lowers the activation energy.
