Chemical Equilibrium Flashcards
What does k represent?
The value of an equilibrium constant indicates the position of equilibrium
What have a value of 1 in equilibrium expression

What is k dependent and independent of?
dependent of temperature
independent of concentration and pressure
For endothermic reactions, a rise in temperature causes?
an increase in k and the yield of the product is increased
For exothermic reactions, a rise in temperature causes?
a decrease in k and the yield of the product is decreased
