28
Q

if K &laquo_space;1, what does that mean

A

the reaction is reactant favored, the concentration of reactants is greater than the

29
Q

what can help us predict the direction of the reaction

A

Qc

30
Q

what will the system do if one of the reactants or products is 0

A

it will shift to produce the missing component

31
Q

how can Qc be found

A

substitute the initial reactant and product concentrations or partial pressures into an equilibrium-constant expression

32
Q

what does it mean if q =k

A

reaction is at equilibrium, there is not shift

33
Q

what does it mean if q is less than K

A

reaction will shift to the products

34
Q

what does it mean if q>k

A

reaction will shift to the reactants

35
Q

what do we use when calculaing Kc when one equilibrium concentration is known

A

an ICE table

36
Q

what are the steps for calculating an ICE table

A
  1. ) write down all known initial and equilibrium concentrations
  2. ) calculate the change
  3. ) use the coefficients of the reaction to calculate C for the remaining
  4. ) calculate E
37
Q

steps for calculating eq. conc. from the initial concentrations

A
  1. ) treat the change in the concentration as X
  2. ) use the coefficients from the balanced equation for the coefficient of X
  3. ) X is positive for for products and X is negative for reactants
    - use the quadratic formula to solve
38
Q

if Kc is small, how does that affect the large initial concentrations of the reaction

A

the reactant concentration will not change significantly

39
Q

how to check the validity of the approximation

A

approximate / initial conc. x 100 = <5%

40
Q

who discovered Le Chatelier’s principle

A

Henri-louis le chatelier, the french chemist

41
Q

what is Le Chatlier’s principle

A
  1. ) system starts at equilib.
  2. ) a change in the system cab be made by concentration, volume, pressure, temp, catalyst
  3. ) system responds by shifting to the right (prod) or left(react) to restore equlibrium
42
Q

what does le Chatlier say about adding a substance even at equilibrium

A

add a substance, the reaction will shift to re-establish equilibrium by consuming part of the added substance
ex: adding reactant = decrase the amounts of other reactant = shift towards the product

43
Q

why does adding a reactant increase the rate of the forward reaction

A

bc when you add more reactant then Qc is getting smaller than K so then we shift to the products

44
Q

what happens when you remove a substance from the reaction

A

move in the direction that forms more of that substance

ex: removing a reactant will shift to replace it and it will increase the reactants
- decreases the rate of the reaction

45
Q

where is hemoglobin found

A

protein that is found in red blood cells that reacts with O2

46
Q

what is the purpose of hemoglobin

A

enhances the amount of O2 that can be carried through the bloodstream

47
Q

what happens when a system’s volume decreases

A

pressure increases, system will shift towards the fewer moles of gas

48
Q

what happens when a systems volume increases

A

pressure goes down, shift toward more moles of gas

49
Q

what effect does pressure and volume have on equlibrium

A

they have no effect bc changing the size of the container has no effect

50
Q

what is boyle’s law

A

decreasing the containter volume = increasing the total pressure

51
Q

what is dalton’s law of partial pressures

A

total pressures increase = partial pressures of all gases increase

52
Q

decreasing the container volume does what

A
  • increase concentration of all gases

- same # of moles but different number of liters = different molarity

53
Q

what does adding a gas reactant do

A

increase the partial pressure bc equil. will shift to the right

54
Q

what will an inert/ unreactive gas do to the equilibrium

A

no effect

55
Q

what happens in an endothermic reaction

A
  • heat is absorbed
  • heat is used to convert reactants into products
  • heat is a reactant
56
Q

what does an endothermic reaction do to K

A

increasing the temp causes the equi. to shift to the right (products) so K increases

57
Q

what happens in an exothermic reaction

A
  • heat is released

- heat is treated as a product

58
Q

what happens to K in an exothermic reaction

A

equi. shifts to the left(reactants) b bc K decreases

59
Q

what happens to the equilibrium from heat being added

A

shift away from the added heat

60
Q

does a catalyst affec the position of equilibrium

A

no

61
Q

endothermic; increase temp

A

shift right, k increases

62
Q

endothermic; decrease temp

A

shift left, k decreases

63
Q

exothermic; increase temp

A

left, k decreases

64
Q

exothermic; decrease temp

A

right, k increases

65
Q

more moles of gas on right; increase volume

A

shift to the right, no effect on K

66
Q

more moles of gas o right; decrease volume

A

shift to the left

67
Q

more moles of gas on the left; increase volume

A

shift left

68
Q

more moles of gas on the left; decrease volume

A

shift right
