What is equilibrium
rate of forward reaction equals rate of backward reaction
1 of 21
concentrations at equilibrium
reactants and products are constant
2 of 21
temperature increase favours
endothermic
3 of 21
temperature decrease favours
exothermic
4 of 21
increase in pressure favours
least moles of gas
5 of 21
decrease in pressure favours
most moles of gas
6 of 21
increase in concentration of reactants favours
products
7 of 21
decrease in concentration of reactants favours
reactants
8 of 21
catalyst effect on equilibrium position
no effect
9 of 21
what is the equilibrium constant
ratio of conc of products divided by conc of reactants
10 of 21
units of K
no units
11 of 21
K<10-3
no reaction
12 of 21
10-3<K<10+3
large quantities of products and reactants
13 of 21
K>10+3
reaction is complete
14 of 21
homogeneous equilibria
reactants and products are the same state
15 of 21
heterogeneous equilibria
reactant and products are different states
16 of 21
what affects the value of K
temperature
17 of 21
increase in temp for endothermic what happens to K?
K increases
18 of 21
increase in temp for exothermic what happens to K?
K decreases
19 of 21
why must a vessel be closed at equilibrium
so no gases can escape and affect position of equilibria
20 of 21
how to calculate K for reverse reaction
take inverse of K for forward reaction
