How does decomposition of calcium carbonate occur?
Heat it strongly
1 of 21
At what point do we know equilibrium has been reached?
Concentrations of reactants and products remain constant
2 of 21
Why is heat drawn in in the evaporation equilibrium?
To allow more molecules to evaporate
3 of 21
How do molecules enter the liquid phase from the vapour phase?
Strike the liquid and re-enter it
4 of 21
What sort of equilibrium is it when the rate of condensation equals the rate of evaporation?
Dynamic equilibrium
5 of 21
If the position of equilibrium shifts to the products, does that mean more reactants or products are produced?
Products - whichever way it shifts, that is what more is currently being produced
6 of 21
What is the equation for sulfur trioxide decomposing?
2SO3 --> (reversible) 2SO2 + O2
7 of 21
If the concentration of one substance increases, what happens to equilibrium?
Shifts to the opposite side to balance out
8 of 21
If the concentration of one substance decreases, what happens to the position of equilibrium?
Shifts to that side to try and increase it
9 of 21
Give the chemical equation for the chromate ion having H+ added to it and the colours
2(CrO4)2- + 2H+ --> (reversible) (Cr2O7)2- + H2O
10 of 21
What is the equilibrium law?
Kc is constant only at a particular temperature
11 of 21
Which reaction will have a higher Kc value. Hydrogen with fluorine, hydrogen with chlorine or hydrogen with bromine?
Hydrogen with fluorine because high electronegativity so more likely to react and equilibrium closer to products
12 of 21
When hydrogen reacts with halogens, what sign will the Kc value have?
Very positive because high electronegativies so products will be formed
13 of 21
What sort of value for Kc is present in the reaction N2 + O2 --> (reversible) 2NO?
Very negative and less than 1 (lies more towards reactants)
14 of 21
What is the difference between the expression for Q and the expression for Kc?
The expressions are identical apart from that the Q concentrations are not equilibrium concentrations. Simply the concentrations present in the reaction mixture
15 of 21
If equilibrium shifts to products, what reacts more?
The reactants
16 of 21
What is hydrogen iodide used for?
Production of crystal meth, to make iodides from hydriodic acid and act as a reducing agent
17 of 21
Do equilibrium constants have units? Why?/Why not?
No because they are measured to a standard concentration of 1moldm-3
18 of 21
An ICE diagram can use what?
Moles instead of concentration
19 of 21
In an expression involving partial pressures, instead of square brackets for the concentration, what is used?
Curved brackets and a capital P in front of each compound in the expression
20 of 21
How do you reverse lnK to get K?
e to the power of lnK
