module 3: 10.5 the equilibrium constant Kc - part 1 Flashcards
1
Q
what is the general formula for Kc
A
Kc = [C]^c * [D]^d Kc= [products]
——————- —————–
[A]^a * [B]^b [reactants]
aA + bB ⇌ cC + dD
2
Q
what does a Kc value of 1 show
A
a Kc value of 1 indicates a position of equilibrium that is halfway between reactants and products
3
Q
what does a Kc value of > 1 show
A
a Kc value of > 1 indicates the position of equilibrium that is toward the products (cC + dD)
4
Q
what does a Kc value < 1 show
A
a Kc value of < 1 indicates a position of equilibrium that is towards the reactants (aA + bB)
