3 Equil Constants Flashcards
(5 cards)
1
Q
What does the equilibrium favour if the Kc is large?
A
Position of equilibrium favours products and forward reaction is favoured.
2
Q
What does the equilibrium favour if the Kc is small?
A
Position of equilibrium favours the reactants, reverse reaction is favoured.
3
Q
What does the equilibrium favour if Kc is in the middle?
A
Position of equilibrium lies in the middle, neither favours forward nor reverse reaction.
4
Q
How is the reaction quotient (Q) used?
A
Can be calculated using the equilibrium expression, but concentrations may not be at equilibrium.
5
Q
What affects Kc?
A
Temperature.
