28-30 Flashcards
reaction intermediates don’t pile up; when confronted by a slow step, they go in the reverse direction
Catalysts are not mentioned, either. Catalysts can be modified during a reaction, but return to original state at the end (CATALYST = REGENERATED)
three factors that influence rate
LOWER activation energy (via catalyst)
MORE CONCENTRATED reactants
HIGHER temperature
TEMPERATURE influences rate constant, k; does NOT change Ea (!IMPORTANT)
Catalyst == Ea
NOT G, H, or S
rate constant k
rate / [A]^a [B]^b
equillibrium
generation of product is the same as generation of reactants (rate = reverse_rate)
DYNAMIC equilibrium
K_a, K_b, K_s
all equilibrium constants
K_eq is a constant at a given temperature
TEMPERATURE INFLUENCES K_eq
K_a, K_b, K_s
all equilibrium constants
K_eq is a constant at a given temperature
TEMPERATURE INFLUENCES K_eq
K_sp is the solubility (salt) product constant
reaction quotient
Q - same as K_eq but fluctuates
Q > Keq, reverse reaction is favored
Q < Keq, forward reaction is favored
le Chatelier’s principle is related to Q
pressure and le Chatelier’s equation
see which side has more moles of gas
increased pressure = reduced volume = favors the fewer moles
PRESSURE CAUSES REACTIONS TO CONDENSE
reaction quotient
Q - same as K_eq but fluctuates
Q > Keq, reverse reaction is favored
Q < Keq, forward reaction is favored
le Chatelier’s principle is related to Q
Q = K_eq, reaction is at equilibrium ∆G = 0, reaction is at equilibrium
you can also calculate Q by [Partial pressure A]^a / [Partial pressure B]^b
temperature and le Chatelier’s equation
if the product is heat, then reducing temperature favors the forward process
likewise, adding heat shifts left
“LOWERING TEMPERATURE favors the exothermic reaction, raising temperature favors endothermic”
CHECK TO SEE ∆H and add heat to the equation
hydration
when solvent is water, it is hydration and aqueous
solvent is higher in proportion than solute
strong electrolyte = good conductor of electricity
covalent bonds = nonelectrolytes
ionizability factor (i)
tells us how many particles are dissociated in solution
glucose i =1
nacl i=2
phase solubility rules
- solubility of solids in liquids increases with temperature
- solubility of gases in liquids decrease with increasingly temperature
- gases dissolve better under high pressure
