Chem 112 Exam 2 Flashcards
When we double the quantities of reactants and products in a reaction, what happens to the value of the equilibrium constant?
The equilibrium constant is squared
What is a homogenous equilibrium?
When all of the reactants and products are in the same phase
What is the general form for the equilibrium constant?
Kc=[products]/[reactants]
Does the equilibrium constant, Keq depend on temperature?
yes
Fill in the blank: The equilibrium constant and the reaction quotient have the same ____________, but the concentrations in the ____________ can be the concentrations at ___________, not just at _________
mathematical form, reaction quotient, anytime, equilibrium
(The equilibrium constant and the reaction quotient have the same mathematical form, but the concentrations in the reaction quotient can be the concentrations at any time, not just at equilibrium)
If Q > Keq what does this say about the equilibrium? does the reaction shift?
The system is NOT at equilibrium and the system will produce more reactants to reach equilibrium (shift to the left)
What is the relationship between the dissociation of acetic acid and water?
acetic acid does not dissolve much in water
If Keq > Q what holds true of the system?
The reaction is not at equilibrium and will shift to the right
Make sure Keq is on the left side of >/< symbol to match up to arrow
If Keq = Q then what hold true of the system?
System is at equilibrium and will NOT shift
What will increase the production of ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen gas?
cooling down the reaction, adding more reatants, increasing partial pressure of reactants
True or false: the addition of an inert gas causes perturbation in a gaseous equilibrium
false
True or false: a gaseous equilibrium respond to an increase in pressure by shifting to the side of equilibrium with fewer moles of gas particles
true
True or false: Increasing the concentration of products in a system at equilibrium makes the equilibrium constant larger
False
True or false: adding more aqueous products to a system at equilibrium causes a shift toward the reactants
True
Are all exothermic processes spontaneous?
No
True or false: if the temperature increases during a process, that process is spontaneous
true
