Chemical Equilibria Flashcards
Keq is the
Equilibrium constant
Equilibrium is attained
Through time
Q is the
Reaction quotient
If Q < Keq, then
Equilibrium is not reached, continuing to proceed forward
If Q > Keq, then
Equilibrium is exceeded, now proceeding in reverse
What does Le Chât state?
If an external stress is applied to a system at equilibrium, the system will adjust itself accordingly
Le Chât’s statement determines the
Direction of the reaction
What is favored when pressure is increased?
Fewer moles
What is favored when pressure is decreased?
Greater moles
Changes in pressure and volume do not affect
Liquids or solids
An increase in temperature favors the
Reverse reaction
What does the common ion effect state?
Solubility may reduce due to the solution containing ions
The common ion effect changes
Molar solubility only
