1.10 Kp and equilibrium Flashcards
1
Q
What is the equilibrium constant?
A
Found from the equation from a reversible reaction in the gas phase. It is calculated from partial pressures of a system at a constant temperature.
2
Q
What is the partial pressure?
A
Mole Fraction * Total pressure
3
Q
What is the mole fraction?
A
Total moles of gas
4
Q
What is Kp?
A
The equilibrium constant for gases:
Kp= (pSO3)² / (pSO2)² (pO2)
5
Q
What happens if you increase pressure in a gaseous equilibrium?
A
Eqm shifts to the side with fewer moles
6
Q
What happens if you increase temperature in a gaseous equilibrium?
A
In an exothermic system, eqm shifts to absorb the heat so moves to the left
