1.10 Kp Flashcards
What is a gaseous equilibrium?
A reversible reaction in the gas phase, following all normal equilibrium laws.
What is partial pressure?
The contribution of each gas to the total pressure of the mixture.
What is the mole fraction?
The fraction of moles of gas out of the total moles.
How do you find the partial pressure of a gas?
mole fraction x total pressure
How do you find the mole fraction?
No of moles in the gas mix / total moles of gas in the mix.
How do you find the Kp equation?
the same as the Kc expression, but using partial pressure instead of concentration.
How does temperature effect on Kp?
Follows Le Chateliers principle, in terms of the equilibrium shifting. The way the equilibrium shifts, changes the Kp value.
How does pressure effect Kp?
Has no effect on Kp.
How do catalysts effect Kp?
Has no effect on Kp, but increases the rate of reaction.
