Chapter 13 Flashcards
1
Q
define chemical equilibrium
A
the state reached when the concentrations of products and reactants remain constant over time
2
Q
how do you calculate the equilibrium constant?
A
kc=[Products]/[Reactants]
3
Q
what is the difference between kp, and kc?
A
kp is defined using partial pressures
4
Q
what is the equation to solve for kp in terms of kc?
A
kp=kc(RT)^(changes in molecules)
5
Q
What does a large kc values mean?
A
That the reaction proceeds almost to completetion before it is at equilibrium
6
Q
What happens to the reaction if Q is greater than K?
A
the reactions shifts towards the reactants
