Document Summary
Chm135h1 f - lecture 18 - chapter 14 (3) Increase in concentration -> reduce amount of reagents or products. Change in volume -> similar to change in pressure. Example 1: write equilibrium expressions for the following. Can see that equilibrium can be expressed with kp only if all reactants and products are gases. If k < 1: concentrations of reactants is greater than products. If k << 1, concentration of reactant is significantly greater than product, and there is no reaction. If k >> 1, concentration of product is significantly greater than reactant, and reaction goes to completion. 21/10/2016: example of k >> 1: combustion, explosions, neutralization of strong acid by strong base. If k 1: (between 0. 1 and 10) Can say that equilibrium lies slightly to left / right . This is marginal between k > 1 and k 1. Initial n 2o4 will decrease as the system goes towards equilibrium.
