KEY TAKEAWAYS •
Things like heat, concentration, surface area, and catalysts will increase the likelihood of a reaction occurring.
•
The activation energy does not change the overall enthalpy of a reaction.
•
The limiting reagent can be determined by knowing the stoichiometry of the equation and the amount of starting and ending products in the reaction.
•
There are several types of reactions that differ in the types of beginning reactants and end products.
•
Reactions are in equilibrium when the rate of reaction in the forward direction is the same as the rate of reaction in the reverse direction.
