(BLUE) Equilibria 1 - Kc Flashcards
What colour is NO2
Brown
What colour is N2O4
Colourless
Does the equilibrium position have to lie in the middle of a reaction
NO
Define dynamic equilibrium
When in a closed system the forwards reaction = the reverse reaction there is no overall net change
What effects the Kc
And what effect does a catalyst have on the Kc
Temperature
Concentration of compounds
Pressure
Catalyst has no effect on the Kc however will increase the rate of reaction
Define le chateliers principle
If a system is in a state of dynamic equilibrium then a change in temperature , total pressure or concentration of a reactant or product will cause the equilibrium position to shift/change in order to counteract/cancel out the imposed change.
What is the equation for Kc
Kc = conc of products (all timesed together) / conc of reactants (all timesed together)
