Unit 3 (ch 15,17) Flashcards
K»>1
favor product
K«<1
favor reactant
Does K have units?
no
K positive or negative?
positive
Kc=
[products]/[reactants]
Kp=
Pproducts/Preactants
Kc=Kp when
same number moles of gases
Kp=
Kc(RT)^delta n
K for the forward reaction = (blank) for the reverse
1/K
K overall =
K1xK2
If K is always at equilibrium, Q can be
any concentration
In non-equilibrium conditions find
Q
Q tells us
where we are relative to equilibrium and in which direction the reaction will proceed
Q
reaction to right/products/forward
If you go from a normal reaction to half the reaction, what process do you use?
K^1/2
Q=K
equilibrium
Q>K
reaction to left/reactants/reverse
Heterogeneous equilibrium
solid and liquid excluded
LeChatelier’s principle
stressed/preturbed reactions work to regain equilibrium
what is LC useful for?
drive reaction to form more products
Effect of pressure change
increase pressure favors side with fewer moles, decreasing favors side with more moles
increasing temp
help endo move forward and hinder exo
What do catalysts change?
time to reach equilibrium, not K
How can we determine how much K changes with T?
ln(K2/K1)= delta H/R(1/T2-1/T1)
if you have a strong acid or base, the concentration of the acid or base will be
same as concentration of ions it dissociates into
is water included in Ka expressions?
no
What is equilibrium?
rate forward= rate reverse
What happens to concentrations and reaction rates when equilibrium is reached?
concentrations of reactants and products remain constant over time and the rate of a reaction in the forward matches reverse
How do we arrive at the relationship for the equilibrium constant, K?
Rate law forward/rate law reverse
What information does K»>1 or K«<1 give us about the ratio of products and reactants?
K»1, concentrations of products larger than reactant
What are the effects of volume changes?
-increase volume shifts equilibrium toward side of reaction with moles of gas
How can we relate K to enthalpy, entropy, and free energy?
value of K decreases as temp increase for exo
What are acids according to the Bronsted-Lowry definition?
acids donate protons (H+)
What are bases according to the Bronsted-Lowry definition?
bases accept protons (H+)
What is the difference between a strong and weak acid?
strong acid fully dissociates
What is the difference between a strong and weak base?
strong base fully dissociates
How do we calculate Ka for an acid?
[A-][H3O+]/[HA]
Kb=
[HB+][OH-]/[B]
strong base kb
> > 1
fewer moles in products, (blank) pressure
increase-favors products
Q
reaction proceeds forward
Q=K
reaction at equilibrium
Q>K
reaction proceeds reverse
remove reactant =
slower
increase partial pressure of reactant/product shifts equilibrium so
more substance consumed
