Kp Flashcards
1
Q
What does partial pressure mean?
A
The pressure which each gas exerts.
2
Q
How do you calculate the mole fraction?
A
3
Q
How do you calculate the partial pressure?
A
4
Q
What are the units for partial pressure?
A
kPa
5
Q
How does an increase in temperature affect Kp?
A
The equilibrium will favour the endothermic reaction to oppose the temperature increase, meaning more reactants will be produced and Kp decreases.
6
Q
How does a decrease in temperature affect Kp?
A
The equilibrium will favour the exothermic reaction to oppose the temperature increase, meaning more products will be produced and Kp will increase.
7
Q
Why does adding a catalyst not affect Kp?
A
A catalyst only helps equilibrium to be reached faster and has no change in the position of the equilibrium.
