Equilibrium 2 Flashcards
partial pressure of a gas A
moles of gas A/total moles of gas in mixture x total pressure
Kp
p(products)/p(reactants) atm
the only effect on equilibrium constant
temperature not pressure and concentration
effect of catalyst
increases the rates of both reactions equally so equilibrium constant remains the same and equilibrium is not shifted
in heterogenous reactions
miss out the solid substances
example why concentration has no effect on equilibrium constant
if conc of products decreases then top of Kp/Kc decreases but due to le chatelier the conc increases which decreases the reactants
Kp can only be in what state
Gas
Le chateliers principle
If a dynamic equilibrium is disturbed by changing the conditions the position of equilibrium moves to counteract the change
