Chapter 15 - Chemical Equilibrium

Question 1

Chemical Equilibrium

Answer 1

Dynamic state in which both reactions occur simultaneously, continue with rate of forward reaction = rate of reverse reaction

Question 2

Equilibrium Constant (K)

Answer 2

Ratio of rate constants; for general reaction, expressed as the concentrations of the products over the concentrations of the reactants, each raised to the power of its coefficient in the balanced chemical equation; also applies to each gas’ partial pressure

Question 3

Relation

Question 4

Relation of K and reaction?

Answer 4

“Favored” here means more molecules at equilibrium
If K&raquo_space; 1: product (forward ) favored reaction
If K = 1: neither stronger favored
If K &laquo_space;1: reactant (reverse) favored reaction

Question 5

Chemical Equilibrium General Form

Answer 5
