chapter 14 theory Flashcards
kc equilibrium constant
the ratio of products over reactants concentration at equilibrium
keq
related to stoichiometry of balanced net equation
only applies at equilibrium and no units. is independent of initial conditions
reverse reaction favored when
k negative
large k=
lots of product
Q less than k
reaction forward
q greater, reverse reaction, and equal= at equilibrium
equilibrium concentrations become different if
disturbance (temperature change, pressure, adding solid/liquid)
dynamic equilibrium
reaction continues even if concentration of products and reactants are constant
K is unitless because
it is a function of activities, which are unitless.
endothermic. Predict what will happen if
the temperature is increased
The equilibrium constant K will increase
