CHEM 1062 Chapter Notes - Chapter 17: Ideal Gas Law, Reaction Quotient, Partial Pressure
Document Summary
Chapter 17 textbook notes: equilibrium: the extent of chemical reactions. Kinetics applies to the speed r rate of a reaction, the concentration of reactant that disappears per unit of time. Equilibrium applies to the extent of a reaction, the concentration of reactant and product present after an unlimited amount of time (no more change). Given sufficient amount of time, the concentrations of reactants and products no longer change; this happens bc all reactions are reversible & reach eq rate forward = ratereverse. Quantitatively there is a constant ratio of constants; ratio of constants create an eq constant (k) K is a # equal to a particular ratio of eq concentrations of product & reactant at a given temp. Magnitude of k indicates how far a reaction proceeds toward product at a given temp. Small k = reaction yields little product before reaching eq. Large k = lttle reactant remains, goes to completion .
