Q
In a multi step reaction - what is the equilibrium constant
A
The product of the various equilibrium constants involved
1
Q
What is equilibrium
A
The point where the same amount of reactant molecules are consumed by the forward reaction as the amount of product molecules produced by the reverse reaction
2
Q
For reaction sings phase how is the mass action law written
A
Kp = P[ ] \ P[ ]
3
Q
State Le Chatelier’s Principle
A
When a chemical system is in equilibrium and one of the factors affecting the reaction is changed so that the system is no longer in equilibrium, the system itself will change so as to counteract the external change and so that a new equilibrium is established
4
Q
What are the factors that affect equilibrium
A
Temperature
Pressure
Concentration
Catalysts
