Chapter 13: Equilibria Flashcards
K > 1
more products
K < 1
more reactants
K = 1
equal reactants and products
Q < K
rxn goes to the right
Q = K
equilibrium
Q > K
rxn goes to the left
neglect x if…
[ ]i / K > 400
change in [ ] changes…
Q, but NOT K
changing the volume of a rxn only shifts equilibrium if…
changing in moles is NOT equal to 0
increase in volume
-decreases pressure
-rxn shifts to the side with more moles
decrease in volume
-increases pressure
-rxn shifts to the side with less moles
heat in an endothermic rxn
added to reactant side
heat in an exothermic rxn
added to product side
effect of heat on endo rxn
-adding heat = shift to the right
-removing heat = shift to the left
effect of heat on exo rxn
-adding heat = shift to the left
-removing heat = shift to the right
