Equillibria Kp Flashcards
what is the expression for Kp?
(ppC)^c (ppD)^d)
————————
(ppA)^a (ppB)^b
What is the equation for mole fraction?
moles
———-
total moles
what is the equation for partiall pressure?
Moles fraction X total pressure
Outline the steps to work out partial pressure
- minus is the moles made at equilibrium from the reactants
- add together these more along with the moles of the products to find total moles
- Divide the total moles by the moles of each compound to get the mole fraction
- times the mole fraction by the total pressure to work out the ** partial pressure**
What is the equation for working out partial pressure from a mole ratio?
sum of missing partial pressures
————————————————- x desired moles
total moles in mole ratio
How does a change in temperature affect equilibrium?
increase temperature equilibrium shifts to endothermic side
decrease temperature equilibrium shifts to exothermic side
what is the only factor that affects Kp?
temperature
What is the effect on pressure in an equilibrium reaction?
Increase equilibrium moves to the side with less moles
decrease equilibrium moves of side with more moles
In what scenario will pressure not have an effect on equilibrium?
If the number of moles are equal in the reaction
what effect does a catalyst have on Kp and the yield?
no effect
