| A | B |
|---|
| reaction rate | how fast it takes a reaction to complete |
| a higher temperature | increases the reaction rate |
| a lower temperature | decreases the reaction rate |
| a higher concentration | increases the reaction rate |
| a lower concentration | decreases the reaction rate |
| a smaller particle size | increases the reaction rate |
| a larger particle size | decreases the reaction rate |
| a catalyst | lowers the activation energy |
| an inhibitor | stops the action of the catalyst |
| chemical equilibrium | when both foward and reverse reactions of a reversable reaction is taking place at the same rate |
| Le Châtelier's principle | If a stress is applied to a system in dynamic equilibrium, the system changes to relieve the stress. |
| increasing the concentration | pushes the reaction to favor the side opposite the chemical added |
| decreasing the concentration | pushes the reaction to favor the same side of the chemical removed |
| increasing the temperature | pushes the reaction to favor the side opposite the heat |
| decreasing the temperature | pushes the reaction to favor the side that the heat is on |
| adding pressure | pushes the reaction to favor the side with the least amount of moles |
| decreasing pressure | pushes the reaction to favor the side with the most amount of moles |
