what is the mole fraction?
proportion by volume to the total volume of gases in a mixture
what is the equation for the mole fraction?
number of moles of gas/total number of moles of gas in mixture
what is partial pressure?
in a mixture of gases, each individual gas exerts its own pressure
how is partial pressure written?
p(X)
how is total pressure written?
p(A) + p(B) + p(C) = ptotal
when is Kp used?
when the equation has gases only
what is the equation for the partial pressure of gas in a mixture?
partial pressure of gas in a mixture = mole fraction of gas x total pressure of the mixture
how is Kp written?
Kp = p(products)/ p(reactants)
what changes the value of Kc/Kp?
temperature
what does not change the value of Kp/Kc?
concentration, pressure and catalyst
how does temperature change the value of Kc/Kp?
- if temperature increases:
1) forward reaction is endothermic(+ve) = Kc/Kp value increases
2) forward reaction is exothermic(-ve) = Kc/Kp value decreases
