answer
does changing the concentration of reactant or product affect the equilibrium constant (K)?
question
-Adding/removing a pure solid or liquid in a heterogeneous equilibrium reaction will not cause a shift in the reaction, i.e., Le Chatelier's Principle does not apply. -however, it can change if something else changes (its mass can change)
answer
Explain what adding/removing a pure solid or liquid in a heterogeneous equilibrium reaction will cause
question
[D] will decrease because it will react with C to reduce it and produce more A and B
answer
A+B↔C +D If we increase [C], how affect [D]?
question
-nothing will happen because A is a solid
answer
A(s)+B(g)↔C(s) +D(g) If we increase [A], how equillibrium shift?
question
-it will shift to the left and increase the concentration of A
answer
A(s)+B(g)↔C(s) +D(g) If we increase [D], how equillibrium shift and how affect A?
question
-increase mass (be affected by other that are not solid or liquid) -cannot affect others by changing itself -if increase/decrease concentration, will not affect equilibrium. If others (like gases or aqueous) concentration changes, it can be affected (the mass of solid change)
answer
a pure solid or liquid can _but cannot _(in changes in equilibrium)
question
-volume is decreased thereby increasing its total pressure, le chatelier's principle indicates that the system responds by shifting its equilibrium position to reduce the pressure -a system can reduce its pressure by reducing the total number of gas molecules (fewer molecules of gas exert lower pressure). Thus, the equilibrium shifts to the side of the reaction that has less number of moles -at a constant tempreature, reducing the volume of a gaseous equilibrium mixture causes the system to shift in the direction that reduces the number of moles of gas
answer
what happens if volume is decreased? (use le chatelier's principle)
question
-volume is increased thereby decreasing its total pressure, le chatelier's principle indicates that the system responds by shifting its equilibrium position to increase the pressure -a system can increase its pressure by increasing the total number of gas molecules (more molecules of gas exert lower pressure). Thus, the equilibrium shifts to the side of the reaction that has more number of moles -at a constant tempreature, increasing the volume of a gaseous equilibrium mixture causes the system to shift in the direction that produces more gas molecules
answer
what increasing the volume causes?
question
a. decrease volume= increase pressure, shift toward products or B side, new equilibrium favors products to reduce total moles of gas [shift to this side because has 1 mol, which is less than 2 mol of A] b. increase volume= decrease pressure, shift toward reactants or 2A side, new equilibrium favors reactants to increase total moles of gas [shift to this side because has 2 mol, which is more than 1 mol of B]
answer
2A(g)↔B(g) what happens if: (how affect pressure, shift of equilibrium, number of moles of gas) a. decrease volume b. increase volume
question
-It will shift to the left, the side with a larger number of moles of gas
answer
what happens to equilibrium 2SO2(g)+O2(g)↔2SO3(g), if the volume of the system is increased?
question
when number of moles in reactants is equal to number of moles in products ex: H2+I2↔2HI [2:2 ratio]
answer
in which case changing the pressure does not influence the equilibrium position?
question
No they alter partial pressures of the gaseous substances
answer
does pressure-volume changes affect value of K? what they alter?
question
-pressure increases if additional amounts of any reacting components are added to the system -total pressure in the reaction may increase by adding a gas that is not involved in the equilibrium, which would not shift the equilibrium but only the pressure
answer
how can we change pressure without changing volume?
question
not affect reaction!
answer
Increasing pressure by injecting an inert gas will _reaction (how affect it)
question
A temperature change will cause a reaction shift AND an increase or decrease in the equilibrium constant
answer
what a change of temperature would cause? (2)
question
Imagine that heat is either a reactant or product.
answer
how to deal problems that have increasing/decreasing temperature?
question
If temperature is increased, it is increased for the entire equilibrium mixture. The reaction will shift in such a way as to remove some of the added heat.
answer
if temperature is increased, what happens in terms of le chatellier principle?
question
If temperature is reduced, it is decreased for the entire equilibrium mixture. The reaction will shift in a way to replace some of the heat that was removed.
answer
if temperature is decreased, what happens in terms of le chatellier principle?
question
The best way to remember how a temperature change affects an equilibrium reaction is to think of heat as a reactant (endothermic) or product (exothermic).
answer
The best way to remember how a temperature change affects an equilibrium reaction is to think of heat as a _(as what and exothermic vs endothermic)
question
a. negative -∆H b. treat heat as product c. add heat: shift left and K decreases d. remove heat: shift right and increase K
answer
exothermic: a. sign of ∆H b. heat where found in reaction c. what happens when add heat? (shift and K effect) d. what happen when remove heat?(shift and K effect)
question
a. positive +∆H b. treat heat as reactant c. add heat: shift right and increase K d. remove heat: shift left and decrease K
answer
endothermic reaction: a. sign of ∆H b. heat where found in reaction c. what happens when add heat? (shift and K effect) d. what happen when remove heat?(shift and K effect)
question
nothing, Keq will remain the same because it is only affected by temperature
answer
A+C↔D+F what will happen to Keq if we decrease the concentration of F?
question
-Keq will increase -equillibrium will shift to products, more products, Keq is directly proportional to products, Keq will increase
answer
what will happen to Keq, in an exothermic reaction, if heat decreases? why?
question
as temperature increases, a larger fraction of molecules in the liquid phase have enough energy to overcome their inter molecular attractions and go into the vapor; the evaporation process is endothermic. Raising the temperature of an endothermic reaction shifts the equilibrium to the right, increasing the amount of gas present
answer
use Le CHatelier's principle to explain why the equilibrium vapor pressure of a liquid increases with increasing temperature
question
-absorbed -the right, in the direction of making more products, and K increases
answer
in an endothermic reaction, heat is _as reactants are converted into products , shifting the equilibrium to_. how affects K?
question
-produced -converted into products -to left -in the direction of making more reactants, and K decreases
answer
in an exothermic reaction, heat is_as reactants are converted into products, shifting the equilibrium to_. how affects K?
question
a. endothermic: increasing temperature results in higher K value b. exothermic: increasing temperature results in lower K value
answer
how increasing T in the following types of reactions affect K: a. endothermic b. exothermic
question
as we lower the temperature, the equilibrium is shifted in the direction that produces more heat
answer
what effect cooling has on a reaction?
question
a. endothermic: shifts the equilibrium to left, decreasing K b. exothermic: shifts the equilibrium to the right, increasing K
answer
how cooling would affect: (shift and K value) a. endothermic b, exothermic
question
-does not cause a shift in the equilibrium reaction -does not change K -HOWEVER, the system will reach equilibrium sooner -A catalyst lowers Ea for both forward and reverse reactions and therefore increases the rates of both the forward and reverse reactions
answer
how adding a catalyst affects? (equilibrium shift, K, what else?) why?
question
-increases the rate at which equilibrium is reached -overall composition of the mixture at equilibrium.
answer
A catalyst _ but does not change the _
question
a. the energy difference between the initial state and the transition state
answer
what quantity affects the speed of the reaction: a. the energy difference between the initial state and the transition state or b. the energy difference between the initial state and the final state?
question
No, the presence of a catalyst can accelerate the reaction but does not alter the value of K, which is what limits the amount of product produced
answer
