Kp Flashcards
the equillibrium constant Kp is deduced from
the eqaution fro a reverisble reaction occuring in gas phase
Kp is calcuated from
partial pressures for a system at constant tmeperature
hwo to calcuate partial pressure
mole fraction x total pressure
how to calcuate mole fraction
moles of gas A/ total moles of all gases
mole fractions always add to
1
features of Kp
if Kp is greater than 1 then equillbruim towards s to RHS
if kp less than 1 then equillbrium twardsto LHS
if kp equal to 1 then the equillbrium in the middle
qualtive effects of changes in temperature of pressure on postison of equillbrium
increased pressure shifts equillburium to side with fewer moles
increases temp will shift to oppose increase in temp favor endothermic reaction
does temp affect value of kp
yes only condition that does
does a catalyst affect value if kp
no it will affect the rate of attainment of equillbrium but not affect equillbrium constant
