7.2 - Equilibrium Law Flashcards
homogeneous equilibrium
equilibrium system in which all reactants and products are in the same state of matter, such as the gas state
heterogenous equilibrium
equilibrium system in which the reactants and products are present in at least two different states, such as gases and solids
equilibrium constant
K, the equilibrium constant is specific to the reaction
itself
➢ It is a unitless numerical value meant to define the relationship between
the products and reactants at equilibrium
➢ The equilibrium constant for a specific chemical reaction at a given
temperature will always remain the same regardless of the initial
concentrations
Reaction quotient
Q, defines relationship between instantanous concentrations
