| Term | Definition |
| steady state | a physical condition which appears unchanging due to a balance of 2 factors external to the system |
| equilibrium | a dynamic balance of microscopic properties which results in no macroscopic change |
| equilibrium constant | the measure of the position of equilibrium |
| equilibrium constant equation | Kc=[products]x/[reactants]x or Kf= A1/2product & Kr= B1/3product |
| le chatelier's principle | if a disruption affects an equilibrium like temperature or concentration the equilibrium will move in such a direction as to partially remove the disruption |
| saturated vapor pressure | the pressure that the liquid's vapor causes |
| endothermic reaction | an increase in temperature favors the... |
| reaction away from the substance added | an increase in concentration favors the... |
| colligative property #1. | lower saturated vapor pressure |
