kp Flashcards
when do u use kp
for a gas
definition of a homogenous system
a homogeneous system is where all reactants and products are in the same phase
all mole frac added together =
1
partial pressure equation
partial pressure = mole frac of X x total pressure
mole fraction equation
number of moles x in the mixture / total number of moles of all gases
how to write a kp equation
products / reactants
rounded brackets to show partial pressure eg 4co2 =(ppco2)^4
features of kp
kp>1 equilibrium towards the right - more products than reactants
kp< 1 equilibrium towards the left - more reactants than products
kp = 1 equilibrium is in the middle - equal amounts of products and reactants
only condition that has an affect on kp value
change in temperature
how would a decrease in temp affect the value of kp
value of kp will increase
forward reaction is exothermic
equilibrium will shift to oppose the decrease in temperature
