What does Kc represent?
A mathematical representation of the ratio of products to reactants
If Kc is greater than 1 are there more products or reactants?
Products
If Kc is smaller than 1 are there more products or reactants?
Reactants
What is homogenous equilibrium?
Everything is in the same state
What is heterogenous equilibrium?
Things are in different states
What does a Kc equation only include?
Gases - solids and liquids are not part of Kc
How do you set up a Kc equation?
products / reactants
What acronym should be used when calculating amounts of equilibrium (Kc)?
ICE
I - initial
C - change
E - equilibrium
When calculating a Kc that has a volume different to 1 what do you need to do?
Always divide by the volume before putting into Kc equation
What is the relationship between Kc and Kp?
As pressure and conc are proportional to each other Kc has a direct relationship with Kp
What two things need to be calculated for Kp?
Mole fraction then partial pressure
In a Kp equation what comes before the round brackets?
p
What is the mole fraction of a gas?
The same as its proportion by volume to the total volume of gases in a gas mixture
What is the equation for mole fraction?
Number of moles in A
——————————-
Total number of moles in
gas mixture (A+B+C)
What do all mole fractions add up to?
1
What are the steps in Kp?
ICE
Mole fraction
Partial pressure
Kp
What is the equation for partial pressure?
Mole fraction A x total pressure of gas A
What do the partial pressure of all gases equal to
Total pressure in the system e.g. 200kPa
How does Kc/Kp increase in terms of numerator and denominator?
Numerator increases, denominator decreases
How does Kc/Kp decrease in terms of numerator and denominator?
Numerator decreases, denominator increases
What factor is the only factor that can change Kc/Kp?
TEMPERATURE
How does a catalyst affect Kc/Kp?
Does not change Kc/Kp only reaches Kc/Kp quicker
When talking about changes in equilibrium how should you talk about the numbers?
Talk about numbers at start, middle and after equilibrium
