Equilibrium Flashcards
1
Q
two features of dynamic equilibrium
A
forward and backward reactions are occurring at equal rates
concentrations of reactants and products remain constant
2
Q
what happens to equilibrium when pressure increases
A
equilibrium will oppose this change by shifting to the side with fewer moles
3
Q
Why does increasing pressure have an effect on Kp
A
state the ratio of pp in the reaction
state that the reaction is no longer in equilibrium
mole fractions in the numerator has to increases so equilibrium will shift to the right to restore the ratio
