10.5 The Equilibrium Constant Kc Part 1 Flashcards
1
Q
What does the magnitude of an equilibrium constant show?
A
Shows whether there are more reactants or products in an equilibrium system
2
Q
Equilibrium law
A
General equation for reaction
aA + bB >< cC + dD
Kc = [C]c [D]d / [A]a [B]b
Products /reactants
3
Q
What do square brackets mean?
A
Concentration of
4
Q
What does a Kc value of 1 mean?
A
The equilibrium position is halfway between reactants and products
5
Q
Kc value > 1
A
Position of equilibrium towards the products
6
Q
Kc value < 1
A
Position of equilibrium towards the reactants
7
Q
Larger the value of Kc…
A
Further the position of equilibrium is to the right hand side
