The equilibrium constant Kc

Question 1

what is Kc

Answer 1

1. a measure of the amount of products formed relative to the amount of reactants for a reaction at equilibrium
2. It has a constant value for a given reaction at a specific temperature.
3. It is not affected by changes in concentration or pressure or catalyst
4. Only applies to gases and aq

Question 2

If Kc>1

Answer 2

[products]>[reactants]

Question 3

If Kc<1

Answer 3

[products]

Question 4

If Q

Answer 4

the then product concentration is too low and the forward reaction is favoured to reach equilibrium

Question 5

If Q>Kc

Answer 5

then the product concentration is too hight and the reverse reaction is favoured to reach equilibrium
