Equilibrium AH
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Are exothermic or endothermic forward reactions favoured when temperature increases? | endothermic |
| Which reaction is favoured when temperature increases? | The side with less moles of gas |
| What happens when pressure changes and both sides have equal moles of gas? | The position of equilibrium does not shift |
| What happens when the concentration of a product increases? | Equilibrium shifts left, using up some of the added product. |
| What happens when a product is removed e.g H ions reacting with NaOH that has been added, | Equilibrium shifts right, replacing some of the removed H ion product. |
| Does a catalyst change the equilibrium position? | No |
| For equilibrium to occur what must the system be. | Closed |
| What does K > 1 tell you? | The reaction favours the products. |
| Does a large value of K mean the reaction is very fast? | No. K indicates the equilibrium position, not the reaction rate. |
| For an exothermic forward reaction, what happens to the equilibrium position and K when temperature decreases? | Equilibrium shifts right and K increases. |
| For an endothermic forward reaction, what happens to the equilibrium position and K when temperature increases? | Equilibrium shifts right and K increases. |
| What happens to the equilibrium position and K when a product is added at constant temperature? | Equilibrium shifts left, consuming some of the added product. K remains unchanged. |
| What happens to the equilibrium position and K when a reactant is added at constant temperature? | Equilibrium shifts right, consuming some of the added reactant. K remains unchanged. |
| What happens to the equilibrium position and K when pressure decreases? | Equilibrium shifts towards more moles of gas. K remains unchanged. |
| Write the formula for K . H₂(g) + I₂(g) ⇌ 2HI(g) | [HI]2 / [H2] [I2] |
| How does a catalyst affect K | It does not affect K |
| 2SO₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇌ 2SO₃(g), ΔH < 0. What happens to SO₃ yield and K when temperature increases? | SO₃ equilibrium yield decreases and K decreases. Equilibrium shifts left. |
| N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) ⇌ 2NH₃(g). Write K | K = [NH₃]² / ([N₂][H₂]³). |
| Predict the effect of increasing pressure on K and equilibrium position N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) ⇌ 2NH₃(g | Equilibrium shifts right because gas moles decrease from 4 to 2. K is unchanged. |
| What happens to the equilibrium position and K when a product is removed at constant temperature? | Equilibrium shifts right, replacing some of the removed product. K remains unchanged. |
| What does K < 1 tell you? | The equilibrium favours reactants. |
| For an endothermic forward reaction, what happens to the equilibrium position and K when temperature increases? | Equilibrium shifts right and K increases. |
