Topic 10 & 11: Equilibrium I and II

Question 1

Definition for dynamic equilibrium

Answer 1

The rate of forward and backward reaction is equal
Concentration of reactants and products remain constant

Question 2

What are the factors affecting Kc and Kp?

Answer 2

Temperature only
Exothermic (forward) = increasing temp = decreases K
Endothermic (forward): increasing temp = increases K

Question 3

Relation between values of ΔG and equilibrium

Answer 3

ΔG = 0 –> amount of reactants and products about the same
ΔG < 0 –> Mixture mostly contains products
ΔG > 0 –> Mixture mostly contains reactants
