Exam 2 Flashcards
What are the three concentrations in an equilibrium reaction
Products and both reactants
If K>1 the reaction favors the formation of the
products
If K<1 the reaction favors the
reactants
The concentration is relative to the
standard state concentration
Standard state concentrations (4)
Solute: 1M
Gas: 1 bar
Solid: pure solid
Liquid: pure liquid
If you reverse a reaction, k is equal to _____ for the reverse
1/K
K for the sum of 2 reactions is equal to
the product of their individual equilibrium constants
If K=e^(ΔG0/TR) when are the products favored
When ΔG0<0
Chemical systems tend towards ____ entropy and _____ enthalpy
higher, lower
Enthalpy
<0 = exothermic
>0 = endothermic
exothermic favored
Entropy
<0 l= less disordered
>0 = more disordered
higher disorder favored
Q<K
reaction favors the products
Q=K
Equilibrium
Q>K
reaction favors the reactants
If ΔH<0 a decrease in T causes a decrease in
K
