equilibrium constant pressure Flashcards
1
Q
what is Kp?
A
expressing the equilibrium constant in terms of partial pressures where all the substances in equilibrium mixtures are in the gas phase
2
Q
what does the sum of partial pressures equal?
A
sum of partial pressures = total pressure
3
Q
what is partial pressure?
A
partial pressure is the pressure each gas would exert if it was alone in the same volume
4
Q
what is the symbol for partial pressure?
A
p (lower case)
5
Q
what is the equation to work out partial pressure?
A
partial pressure = mole fractions x total pressure
pA = xA x P
6
Q
what is the equation to work out mole fractions?
A
mole fraction of a = number of moles of a / total number of moles of gas
7
Q
what is the expression for Kp?
A
Kp = ((pC)^cx(pD)^d)/((pA)^ax(pB)^b)
