CHEM 001 Lecture Notes - Lecture 18: Phosphorus Trichloride, Equilibrium Constant, Inert Gas
Document Summary
You can also use k to calculate the partial pressure of a species at the larger the k, the more stable the products are at equilibrium intermediate values favor neither reactants or products equilibrium. Increasing the pressure by itself will not shift the reaction. rather, an increase in volume will shift the reaction. Usually one would increase pressure by decreasing the volume. This will have a direct impact on the concentration of gases. On the other hand, when you add inert gas, you are not doing anything to the volume, thus you will not change the reaction. Chemical equilibrium cont. to determine the direction a reaction will proceed: Kc=1. 80, all three compounds are gases at 250 degrees c the balanced reaction will be: pcl5(g) pcl3(g)+cl2(g) We then simplify this equation to get x2+1. 80x-5. 40=0. We can then find x by using the quadratic equation.
