CHY 102 Lecture Notes - Lecture 43: Advanced Chemistry, Equilibrium Constant, Dinitrogen Tetroxide
Document Summary
Topic: equilibrium & reaction rates generic equilibrium forward reaction: reverse reaction: At equilibrium, the concentrations of reactants and products no longer change, but they are not necessarily equal to one another. We will not cover activities (you will see activities in more advanced chemistry courses. ) With a, b, c, and d in the aqueous or gas phase. [ ] indicates conc at equilibrium in mol l-1. Keq ratio always has products over reactants. Equilibrium partial pressures (bar) instead of mol/l e. g. 2no2(g) K >> 1 implies that products are favoured. K = 1. 9 x 1019 at 25 c. K << 1 implies that reactants are favoured. K = 4. 1 x 10-31 at 25 c. Select the appropriate definition for the equilibrium constant of the following reaction: 4 hcl(g) + o2(g) 2 cl2(g) + 2 h2o(g) In your textbook, kc and kp are written with units:
