Q

How do you calculate the units for Kc?

A

Write the moldm-3 where they would be for each concentration and then cancel them out of the equation

Q

What happens to the value of Kc when the concentration of either reactants or products changes?

A

It wont change

Fixed at a certain temperature so all of the concentrations will change to keep the value of Kc the same

Q

What effect does adding a catalyst have on the value of Kc? Why?

A

No effect

Increase both the forward and reverse reactants so they cant increase the yield
