Le Chatelier’s Principle
f a system at equilibrium is changed, the system will move to oppose the change and restore the equilibrium
what happens to the POE if temperature is increased
move the equilibrium in the endothermic direction
to decrease the temperature.
what happens to the POE if pressure is increased
move the equilibrium to the side with fewer gas moles
to decrease the pressure.
what happens to the POE if concentration is increased
move the equilibrium to the other side
to decrease the concentration.
what is Kp used for
partial pressure values in gas system
how should a Kp expression look
the same as a Kc, but with a “p” infront of each molecule
e.g (pCO)
