chemical equilibrium Ch 14 Flashcards
why does raising the temperature or increasing the pressure of a gas phase help increase the rate of the reaction
increased temperature or pressure for a gas-phase reaction increases the number of collisions.
equilibrium is achieved when
the rates of a reversible reaction in the forward direction and the reverse direction become equal
base…..electrons
donates
acid…..electrons
accepts
lower pka acidity?
higher acidity
when products are favored over reactants
K>1
when reactants are favored over products
K<1
the K value of a reaction running in reverse is
the reciprocal of the K of the forward reaction
reaction Q
value based on the concentration and partial pressures of reactants and products present at any time during the reaction
% dissociated
amt dissociated/ original amount
is K temp dependent?
true
smaller ka…..
weaker acid and less products
less small ka
weak acid and more products
To break the H-F…H-F intermolecular bond, energy must be
added to the dimer
