Equilibrium Flashcards
At equilibrium, __________ no longer change
Concentrations
The rate of the forward reaction __________ the rate of the reverse reaction
Equals
Chemical equilibrium takes place in a _________ system
Closed
If K > 1, which side does the reaction lie?
Right
If K
Left
_______ and ________ are left out of the equilibrium expression
Solids, liquids
When writing an equilibrium expression, include _______ and _____________
Gases, aqueous species
Pressure exerted by a specific gas in a system
Partial pressure
The partial pressure of all of the gasses in a system sum up to the _____________ in that system
Total pressure
What does delta n represent?
(Moles of gaseous products)-(moles of gaseous reactants)
If K > 10
- mostly products
- equilibrium lies far to the right
If K
- mostly reactants
- equilibrium lies far to the left
If K=1
- equal amounts of each
- equilibrium lies in the middle
What is the equation for molarity?
Molarity= (number of moles of solute)/(L of solution)
When reactions do not go to completion, all the ___________ do not get used up
Reactants
The ____________ is used to determine whether a reaction is at equilibrium
Reaction Quotient (Q)
If Q>K
The reaction will proceed to the left
If Q
The reaction will proceed to the right
