Equilibria

Question 1

what is Kc?

Answer 1

a quantitative measurement of where the equilibrium lies = whether there are more products or more reactants present at equilibrium

Question 2

what is the formula for Kc?

Answer 2

reactants

Question 3

which brackets are needed? what do they represent?

Answer 3

Square brackets = show that we are referring to concentrations

Question 4

What does it mean if Kc is greater than 1?

Answer 4

indicates the equilibrium favours the products

Question 5

What does it mean if Kc is less than 1?

Answer 5

indicates that the equilibrium favours the reactants

Question 6

What happens to the value of Kc if product concentration increases?

Answer 6

value of Kc rises

Question 7

What happens to the value of Kc if reactant concentration increases?

Answer 7

value of Kc drops

Question 8

what is Homogeneous equilibria?

Answer 8

reactants and products are in the same phase of matter

Question 9

what is Heterogeneous equilibria?

Answer 9

reactants and products are in different phases of matter
