Q

What do you do if a substance in an equation is hetergeneous to the other substances in terms of writing the kc equation?

A

ignore it - not in kc equation

A(g) + B(s) = C(g) + D(g)

kc = [C] [D] / [A]

Q

How can you work out the equilibrium concs?

A

ICE
Initial no. of mol
change in no of mol ( moles after reaction happened)
equilibrium no of mol / vol

Q

How do you calculate the mole fraction of a gas?

A

mole fraction of a gas = number of moles of gas/ tot number of moles in the gas mixture

or partial press of gas/ total pressure of mixture

Q

What are the units for partial pressure?

17
Q

What do you do when writing a Kp equation for a heterogeneous reaction?

A

only include gas substances
ignore solids, liquids and (aq)

18
Q

What type of equilibria will Le chats principle only work in?

A

homogeneous equilibria

19
Q

What happens to equilibria when you increase pressure?

A

equilibria will shift to the side of reaction that has fewer moles of gas

20
Q

What happens to equilibria when increasing temperature?

A

shifts to the endothermic direction

21
Q

What is the effect of temperature on the value of Kp?

A

if temp causes equil, to shift to right = kp increases
it temp causes eqil. to shift to left = kp decreases

22
Q

How does pressure affect Kp?

A

changes pressure does not affect the value of Kp

23
Q

What affect does adding a catalyst have on Kp and Kc?

A

no effect on the value of Kp and Kc = it speeds up the rate at which equilibrium is established

24
Q

What are the affects of changing temp on kc?

A

temp change causes equil to shift to right = Kc increases
temp change causes equil to shift to left = kc decreases

25
What is the affect of changing concs on the value of Kc?
value of Kc is unaffected
26
What is equilibrium?
a reversible reaction in a close system is at equilibrium when the forward and back rates are equal
27
What are 3 methods for measuring the change in conc?
change in absorption of light - if substance is coloured change in pH - acid/ alkali titration
28
What does a larger kc and kp value mean?
the equilibrium is further shifted to the right
29
What happens to the value of kc increasing temp of a exothermic reaction?
equil shifts to left kc decreases
30
What happens to the value of kc increasing temp of a endothermic reaction?
equil shifts to the right kc increases
31
What technique can be used to determine the equilibirum amount of an acid?
titration
32
When can the number of moles be used in the Kc expression instead of conc?
if there are the same number of moles on each side of the equation
