Unit 1: Chemical Equilibrium Flashcards
In a system at EQ, what do rates become?
Rates become equal
In a system at EQ, what do concentrations become?
Concentrations become constant
What does K tell us?
The extent of a reaction
K<10e-3
Mainly reactants
10e-3<K<10e3
Equal amount of products and reactants
K>10e3
Mainly products
True or False:
- In a closed system volume is constant
True
What is r? ( Ideal gas constant)
0.0821 L atm/mol K
What is the equation to convert Kp and Kc?
Kp = Kc (RT)Δn
Q<K
Reaction will proceed to the right (forward)
Q=K
System is at EQ
Q>K
Reaction will proceed to the left (reverse)
If a reactant is added in equation
Direction will shift towards products
If product is added in equation
Direction will shift towards reactant
If there is a decrease in volume/ increase in pressure
Direction will shift towards side with fewer moles
