Equilibrium Constant, Kp 3.1.10 Flashcards
(10 cards)
How is Kp different from Kc
Kp is used when moelcules are in the gaseous state so instead of concentration, pressure is used
Define partial pressure
Partial pressure is the pressure exerted if a gas occupied the container on its own
Define total pressure
Total pressure is the sum of partial pressures of each individual gas
Define mole fraction
Mole fraction is the proportion of a gas mixture that’s made up of a particular gas
What is the equation for mole fraction
Mole fraction = moles of the gas/total number of moles
What us the equation for partial pressure
Partial pressure = mole fraction × total pressure

What factors affect the value of Kp
Temperature
How does adding a catlayst affect value of Kp and equilibrium position
The catlayst doesn’t appear in the expression so had no effect on Kp
There is no effect on the position of equilibrium because a catlayst uncreases the rate of both the forward and reverse reaction EQUALLY
