Equilibrium Flashcards
Keq<1
(+) G
Reactants lower in energy, more stable
Reactants favoured
Keq>1
(-) G
Products are lower in energy
Products favoured
Keq=1
Ratio of products /reactants at equilbrium are equil
Q< Keq
More reactants
Forward reactions occurs
Q>Keq
More products
Reverse reaction occurs
Q=Keq
At equilibrium
IP< Ksp
MIxture is unsaturated
Forward reaction proceeds
No precipitation
IP= Ksp
Mixture is satruated
At equilibrium
No ppt
IP> Ksp
Mixture is super saturated
Reverse reaction occurs
Ppt occurs
Ka<1
Weak acid
Kb <1
Weak base
Ka>1
Low pKa= strong acid
Low Kb
Kb>1
Strong base= low Ka
Equivalence Point
Equal moles of acid and base in a titration
Half Equivalence POint
Equal numbers o facid and CB
Half of the acid/base hase been used up
Pk= pH
