Equilibrium Constants Flashcards
What does Kc measure
the ratio of products to reactants by concentration and measures how far the reaction goes
What factors affect an equilibrium
Temperature
Pressure
Concentration
How do you calculate Kc
Change in concentration from initial to equilibrium is the same for all substances as long as moles are the same. When the change has been applied to the initial concentrations, you insert those values in the Kc equation
What is Kp
equilibrium constant using pressure data
How do you calculate partial pressures
By dividing the number of moles of a substance by the total number in a system and multiplying by the total number of atmospheres in the system
How do you calculate Kp
Divide the the partial pressures of the products to the power of their moles and multiplied together by the same of the reactants
