Equilibirum

Question 1

For an exothermic reaction what happens to the equilibrium constant when the temperature is increased?

Answer 1

As temperatures increases the equilibrium constant decreases

Question 2

What factor is the equilibrium constant affected by?

Answer 2

Equilibrium constant is only affected by temperature

Question 3

When a reaction increases the number of gas molecules what happens to the position of equilibrium?

Answer 3

The equilibrium will shift in the direction that gives a decrease in the number of gas molecules

Question 4

As temperature increases what happens to the position of equilibrium?

Answer 4

As temperature increases the position of equilibrium shifts to the endothermic direction to minimise the change
