What are the factors affecting the rate of a chemical reaction?
What are the factors affecting the rate of a chemical reaction?
The factors affecting the rate of a chemical reaction include temperature, concentration of reactants, surface area, presence of catalysts, and pressure for gaseous reactions.
Explain the concept of chemical equilibrium.
Explain the concept of chemical equilibrium.
Chemical equilibrium is a state in a reversible chemical reaction where the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the backward reaction, resulting in no net change in the concentrations of reactants and products.
What is the difference between an exothermic and endothermic reaction?
What is the difference between an exothermic and endothermic reaction?
An exothermic reaction releases heat energy to the surroundings, while an endothermic reaction absorbs heat energy from the surroundings.
