Q

What does the activity of a compound tell us?

A

Q

How is K manipulated?

A
  1. When the rxn is reversed, K becomes 1/K
  2. Whe the rxn is doubled, K becomes K^2

Q

What does it mean when Q < K?

A

17
Q

What does the plot of Gibbs free energy look like when dG° rxn > 0

A
18
Q

At what points on both these plots is the rxn reactant heavy?

A

Q < K at points 1 and 3

19
Q

At what points on both these plots is the rxn product heavy?

A

Q > K at points 3 and 3

20
Q

What is the formula for dG rxn?

A
21
Q

What is the formula for dG° rxn?

A
22
Q

What is K when dG is < 0?

A

K > 1 ; products are favored

23
Q

What is K when dG is > 0?

A

K < 1 ; reactants are favored

24
Q

What is Le Chatelier’s Principle?

A

Le Chatelier’s Principle states that when a chemical system at equilibrium experiences a change, the equilibrium shifts to counteract the imposed change and a new equilibrium established

25
Q

What happens when reactants are added to a reaction?

A

When reactants are added, the rxn shifts to the product side

26
Q

What does adding reactants result in?

A

Q < K

27
Q

What happens when products are added?

A

When products are added, the rxn shifts towards the reactants

28
Q

What does adding products result in?

A

Q > K

29
Q

What happens when reactants are removed?

A

When reactants are removed, the rxn shifts to the reactant side

30
Q

What happens when products are removed?

A

When products are removed, the rxn shifts to the product side

31
Q

What happens when volume increases?

A

Increase in volume = decrease in pressure = shifts to side with greater gaseous moles

32
Q

What happen when the volume decreases?

A

Decrease in volume = increase in pressure = shifts to side with least gaseous moles

33
Q

What happens when an inert gas is added at constant pressure?

A

Volume increases

34
Q

What happens when an inert gas is added at constant volume?

A

Pressure increases, however, there is no effect

35
Q

What happens when temperature is added to an endothermic reaction?

A

Increase in temperature for an endothermic rxn (heat is reactant) = shifts to products = K increases

36
Q

What happens when temperature is added to an exothermic reaction?

A

Increase in temperature for an exothermic rxn (heat is product) = shifts to reactants = K decreases

37
Q

What is the Van’t Hoff Equation?

A
38
Q

What is the formula for Kp?

A

Kp = Kc (RT) ^ dn
