Kp Flashcards
What is a homogeneous reaction
All reactants and products are in the same phase
What should all more fractions within a mixture add up to?
1
What if KP is greater than one?
Equilibrium is towards the right hand side as more products than reactants
What if KP is less than one?
Equilibrium is towards the left-hand side as more reactants than products
What if KP is one?
Equilibrium is in the middle and equal amount of products and reactants
Rules for expression of KP
- Put PP in front of letters.
- Donβt use square bracket.
- Products at the top and reactants at the bottom.
How to work out units for KP
Add the powers of products
Add the powers of reactants
Subtract powers of products from reactants
How to work up mole fraction
Equilibrium moles divided by total equilibrium moles
How to work out partial pressure
More fraction times total pressure
What if partial pressure is missing?
Substitute X in
What factor affect KP?
Temperature only
Unit of KP
Pa / kpa
