Question | Answer |
Can equilibium constant (K eq) ever be negative? | no |
K(eq) < 1 means... | reaction favors the reactants |
K(eq) > 1 means... | reaction favors the products |
lowering temp favors... | exothermic reactions |
raising temp favors... | endothermic reactions |
Q > K(eq) means... | the reacton procedes in the reverse |
Q < K(eq) means... | the reaction procedes forward |
Exothermic reactions are located.... and ∆H is... | on the product side; negative |
Endothermic reactions are located... and ∆H is ... | on the reactants side; positive |
Adding a catalyst to a reaction that is already at equilibrium will have what kind of effect... | adding a ( ) increases the rate of both the forward and reverse reactions equally, hoewever the equilibrium amounts will not change |
In a reaction at equlibrium, if the volume is reduced, therefore increasing the pressure, a net reaction occurs favoring... | the side with the smaller total number of moles |
In a reaction at equlibrium, if the volume is expanded, therefore decreasing the pressure, the net reaction occurs favoring... | the side with the greater total number of moles |
What will happen to a reaction's equilibrium contsant K(eq) if the temp changes? | The value of K(eq) is constant at a given temp therefore if the temp changes so does the K(eq) |
