Topic 11 Further Equilibrium Flashcards
1
Q
What is a homogenous reaction?
A
All reactants and products are the same phase (state)
2
Q
What does Kc stand for?
A
Equilibrium constant
3
Q
What are heterogeneous reactions?
A
Where at least one of reactant or products is at different phase from the rest
4
Q
What does Kp stand for?
A
Partial pressure
5
Q
Give 3 reasons why the product may be removed before its maximum conc is achieved from a reversible reaction. (3 marks)
A
- equilibrium will shift to RHS
- removal of product decreases rate of back reaction
- time may be too long
- unreacted reactants can be recycled
