Equilibrium Flashcards
What happens to the position of equilibrium and value of Kc if an exothermic reaction is heated?
Equilibrium shifts to the left Kc decreases
What happens to the position of equilibrium and value of Kc if an exothermic reaction is cooled?
Equilibrium shifts to the right Kc increases
What happens to the position of equilibrium and value of Kc if an endothermic reaction is heated?
Equilibrium shifts to the right Kc increases
What happens to the position of equilibrium and value of Kc if an endothermic reaction is cooled?
Equilibrium shifts to the left Kc decreases
What is the only thing that can affect Kc/Kp?
Temperature
If G is negative what will the value of Kc be?
> 1 spontaneous
If G is positive what will the value of Kc be?
<1 not spontaneous
What is the only thing a catalyst can affect in terms of equilibrium?
The speed at which equilibrium is reached
What is dynamic equilibirum?
A reversible reaction, in a closed system, where the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the backward reaction
Total pressure in a system=
The sum of all the partial pressures
