Module 1 Flashcards
What is a limiting reagent?
When there is a limited amount of one reactant ductort not being present in it’s exact stoichometicc when the limited reactant is used up, the reaction is complete.
How do you find the limiting reagent?
Calculate the amount in mols of each reactant consider the - stoichiometric ratio and whether One needs to be multiplied or divided.The laden value will be the limiting Reagan.
What makes water a good solvent
Polar-nature due to polar 0-h bonds
hydrogen bonding both within it’sself and with other substances.
What are the unique qualities of water.
Extremely high melting and boiling points.
Move dense in liquid form
What is the purpose of kc?
Describes the composition when it has reached equilibrium.
If k is large?
Equilibrium position has more products, so lies to theright.
What is the purpose of Q?
Describes the composition of a system at any point.
What does Le chatterers principle state.
In response to some change, the system will act to counteract the change and restore equilibrium.
What is the mol 1
Si unit for amount of substance 1 mol =6.022-1023
Concentration of products increases?
Q will be > k so the position ot e/quilibrium will move to the left.
If concentration at reactants increases
Quill be
Pressure increases by decreasing the volume.
Position of equilibrium will change to give a smaller number ot molecules (side with least number of gases molecules.)
Temperature is changed
The value of k will change, the systemwill no longer be at equilibrium., a shift will actor to restore equilibrium.
A catalyst is present
Catalysts don’t affect position of equilibrium but may increase time taken to reach equilibrium.
What is solubility.
Solubility refers to how much of a solid dissolves in a given volume of solvent, when ‘ the solution becomes saturated, equilibrium has been reached.
