When a system in a state of dynamic equilibrium is disturbed, it will react to re-establish the equilibrium condition. Example?
Le Chatelier’s Principle
hemoglobin loads up on oxygen in the lungs and dumps oxygen into the cells where oxygen concentration is low
The Equilibrium Constant
A system is in a state of equilibrium when there is a balance between reactants and products
- This balance is defined by thermodynamics (bond strengths and the intermolecular forces between all the molecules in the system)
- The equilibrium constant is the numerical description of that balance
As K _______, the reaction tends to increasingly favor products. As K _______, the reaction tends to increasingly favor starting materials
increases
decreases
