Equilibrium Flashcards
Dynamic equilibrium
State where rates of forward and reverse reactions are equal and concentration of reactants and products remain constant
Deuterium labeling in ammonia synthesis
Proves ammonia is constantly being formed and consumed
Equilibrium constant ( kc) values
Refers to a direction and stoichiometry for a reaction
Electrolyte
Dissociates in water into ions
Strong electrolytes
Acids and bases that completely ionize
Weak electrolytes
Acids and bases that partially ionize
Hydrated proton
Hydronium ion
Water auto-ionisation
Pure water weakly conducts electricity
Le chatelier’s principle
When a stress is applied to a system in dynamic equilibrium, the equilibrium adjusts to minimize the effect of the stress
Henry’s law
Amount of a gas in a solution is proportional to its partial pressure above the solution
Homogenous equilibrium
Everything is in the same phase
Heterogenous equilibrium
Things are in more than one phase
Effect of temperature on kc
In exothermic rxn, when temp increases, value of Kc decreases
In endothermic rxn, when temp increases, value of Kc increases
Partial pressure
Mole fraction x total pressure
Conditions of haber process
400-450degC, 200 atm, iron catalyst w KOH promoter
