Unit 1 Flashcards
When K>1
The concentrations of products is favored and is large
When K<1
The chem reaction is reactant favored, the reactant concentration is large
If K=1
Neither directions are favored
What is Q
the ratio od products/reactants outside of equilibrium
if Q<K
the reaction moves towards the product in order to increase the amount of products so it equals K
if Q>K
the reaction moves toward the reactant in order to decrease the amount of products
When Q=K
it is at equilibrium
When is x small?
When the number it is being subtracted by is 100x greater than K
In Le chateliers principle what happens when we increase the concentration of reactants
the reaction shifts to the right in order to make more products
In Le chateliers principle what happens when we increase the concentration of products
it shifts to the left to consume the products to make more reactants
In Le chateliers principle what happens when we decrease the concentration of reactants
the reaction shifts towards reactants
In Le chateliers principle what happens when we decrease the concentration of products
the reaction shifts towards the products
what happens when we increase the volume?
The pressure goes down and the reaction shifts towards the side with more gas particles in order to increase the pressure
what happens when we decrease the volume
the pressure goes up and the reaction shifts towards the side with the least amount of gas particles
In an endothermic reaction where the heat is on the reactant side, what happens when we raise the temperature
the reaction shifts to the product side
