KP

Question 1

How does an increase in temperature affect Kp for an exothermic reaction

Answer 1

Exothermic reactions: Temperature rise: - position of equilibrium moves to left, Kp and Kc become smaller

Question 2

How does an increase in temperature affect Kp for an endothermic reaction

Answer 2

Endothermic reactions: Temperature rise: - position of equilibrium moves to right, Kp and Kc become bigger

Question 3

How does Kp change as we decrease temperature for an exothermic reaction

Answer 3

Temperature fall: Position of equilibrium moves to the right, Kp and Kc become bigger

Question 4

How does Kp change as we decrease temperature for an endothermic reaction

Answer 4

Temperature fall: Position of equilibrium moves to the left, Kp and Kc become smaller

Question 5

Which factors don’t affect Kp or Kc

Answer 5

Concentration, pressure, or the addition of a catalyst
