Chapter 13: Equilibrium Flashcards
what is the equilibrium constant formula?
products/reactants with the mols squaring each value
what happens to the equation if Q > K
the reaction will go backwards
what happens to the equation if Q < K
the reaction will go forwards
what happens to the equation if the reactant is increased?
the reaction will go forward
what happens to the equation if the reactant is decreased?
the reaction will go backwards
what happens to the equation if the product is increased?
the reaction will go backwards
what happens to the equation if the product is decreased?
the reaction will go forward
what effect does a solid have on equillibrium?
no effect
does a catalyst have an effect on equillibrium?
no, but it does speed up the rate the system will reach equillibrium
what happens when you increase the temperature in an endothermic reaction?
the system will shift forward
what happens when you decrease the temperature in an endothermic reaction?
the system will shift backwards
what happens when you increase the temperature in an exothermic reaction?
the system will shift backwards
what happens when you decrease the temperature in an exothermic reation?
the system will shift forward
what is the only thing that will effect K?
temperature
what happens when you increase the pressure (decrease the volume) in a system?
the system will shift to the side with less mols of gas
