Q

What is the coefficient rule?

A

When coefficients are changed by a factor of n, Keq is raised to the power of n

32
Q

What is the reciprocal rule?

A

When a rxn is reversed the new Keq value is the inverse of the old Keq value

33
Q

What is the multiple equilibria rule?

A

When two or more rxns are combined the new Keq is the product of the Keq values from individual rxns

34
Q

If Q is larger than K

A

Numerator must decrease implies products must decrease

reverse rxn favored

35
Q

If Q is smaller than K

A

Numerator must increase implies products must increase

forward rxn favored

36
Q

What are the two sets of conditions as a rxn proceeds?

A

Initial conditions

Equilibrium conditions

37
Q

what are the two methods of determining eq conditions given initial conditions and k

A

Neglect X

Perfect squares

38
Q

What is the Neglect X method?

A

Only applicable when K is smaller than 0.0001
Remove x in the denominator
Negligible change and minimal effect

39
Q

Once x has been determined, how can you use x to find the eq concentration.

A

Substitute value back into ICE table

40
Q

ICE table

A

Initial
Change
Equilibrium

41
Q

What is the perfect squares method?

A

Only applicable when both num and den are perfect squares

Simply Sqrt both sides and simplify

42
Q

What does the LaChatelier principle state?

A

Changing rxn conditions of a system at eq can knock system out of eq causing stress
System will shift to reduce stress and achieve equilibrium again

43
Q

What can be changed to stress a system?

A

Molarity
Pressure
Volume
Temperature

44
Q

What happens with addition of reactants? decrease of products?

A

System will shift to consume reactants and produce products

45
Q

What happens with addition of products? decrease of reactants?

A

System will shift to consume products and produce reactants

46
Q

What happens when you dilute a solution?

A

Dilution causes all M to decrease/ rxn shift to side with greatest aq

47
Q

Concentration a solution?

A

Concentration causes all M to increase/rxn shift to side with least aq

48
Q

What happens in response to addition of a catalyst or solid?

A

No stress occur

49
Q

What happens in response to increased pressure or decreased volume?

A

Rxn shift to side with least moles of gas

50
Q

What happens in response to decreased pressure or increased volume?

A

Rxn shift to side with most moles of gas

51
Q

Higher temp favor what kind of rxn

A

Endothermic

52
Q

Lower temp favor what kind of rxn

A

Exothermic

71
Q

The Ksp can be calculated with…

A

72
Q

If Ksp > Qsp, then a precipitate…

A

Will not form

Not enough ions and unsaturated solution

73
Q

If Ksp < Qsp, then a precipitate…

A

Will form

Saturated solution

74
Q

What is the common ion effect?

A

a common ion causes decreased solubility

75

Set Ksp equivalent to S

76
Q

What is a neutralization rxn?
