Equilibrium Test
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Q and K only include... | aqueous and gaseous states only |
| K<<<1 | K is ~10^-3 or smaller |
| K>>>1 | K is ~10^3 or bigger |
| K is ~10^-3 or smaller means that the reaction will go... | left; reverse & reactants will form |
| K is ~10^3 or bigger means that the reaction will go... | Right;fwd & products will form |
| 10^-3<K<10^3 | K is not super big/small. Use quadratic formula. |
| K itself will only change if you change the... | Temperature (DIRECT relationship) |
| Large K (>10^3) | Found by the limiting reactant going to "zero" |
| Small K (<10^-3) | Solved by finding the "x" by using the equilibrium expression + the given K (Change from reaction is negligible; *<5% rule) |
| Medium K (10^-3<K<10^3) | Solved by finding the "x"by using the equilibrium expression + the given K (Change is not small enough to neglect; need to do more math) |
| Volume & pressure have a... | Inverse relationship |
