1.10 equilibrium constant, Kp Flashcards
what does the rate of forward reaction equal
rate of reverse reaction
what remains the same unless conditions are changed
concentration of reactants and products
what does Kc equal
[PRODS]/[REACTANTS]
what does the Kc indicate
the extent of the reaction- how far equilibrium lies to right/left
Kc<1
equilibrium lies to left
Kc=1
equilibrium is in the middle
Kc>1
equilibrium lies to the right
le chateliers principle
if a system in equilibrium is subjected to a change, the position of equilibrium will move in the direction which opposes that change
what value do all reactions at equilibrium have
a kc valu
what is a kc value based on
concentrations of all reactants and products
kp
equilibrium constant that only involve pressure exerted by the gas molecules
what do kp expressions only contain
the gases present in the equilibrium mixture
what is the only factor that affects the value of an equilibrium constant
temperature
if the temperature change caused equilibrium to shift right, what will happen to kp
increase
what will happen to kp if the temperature change causes equilibrium to shift left
decrease
