Misconception of Stoichiometry

  • The number of moles of reactant and product is proportional to the number of index elements in substances.
  • The number of moles of substances is inversely proportional to the reaction coefficient.
  • Dissociation reactions are reactions in which a bond breaks between molecules.
  • The increasing of concentration will greater surface area, so as to give rises a greater number of effective collisions.
  • In exothermic reaction, there is an increase in reaction enthalpy.

Misconception of Chemical Equilibrium

  • The rate of the increasing number of reactants in equilibrium conditions is faster than the reducing number of products.
  • The rate of forwarding reaction will be higher than the rate of the reverse reaction under equilibrium conditions.
  • The rate of forwarding and reverse reaction remains in 20.3 equilibrium because the concentration of substances has the same price.
  • The increasing volume of gas equilibrium system will shift 32.2 the equilibrium to a larger number of subscripts an element.
  • Catalysts can increase the activation energy, so that the 23.3 forward reaction rate is faster than the reverse reaction rate.
