13A.1 Flashcards
What is a homogeneous reaction
a reaction in which all of the reactant and products are in the same phase
what is the equilibrium constant
a number that expresses the relationship between the number of products and reactants present at equilibrium in a reversible chemical reaction at a given temperature
subscript “eq” indicates
concentration at equilbruim
what is the only factor that affects equilibrium constant
temperature
what are two ways you can calculate equilibrium constant
- experimentally
- calculations using thermodynamics
for wA + xB ⇌ yC + zD what is the equation for the Equilibrium constant
[D]^z[C]^y/[A]^w[b]^x
what is a heterogeneous reaction
a reaction where at least one of the products/reactants is in a different phase than others
the concentration of a solid is determined by
its density
why is the density of a solid result in its exclusion in the Kc formula
the denisty of a solid is constant and it determines its concentration so the concentration of a solid is constant making it be excluded
