What is the expression for the equilibrium constant, Kp? (4)
The equilibrium constant for this reaction is:
p(a)^a x p(b)^b
Where P represents the partial pressure, and a, b, c and d are the number of
moles of the species A, B, C and D which appear in the balanced equation for
the equilibrium.
How do you calc mole fraction
Mole fraction=Moles/Total moles
How do you calculate partial pressures of gas? (3)
Partial pressure=mole fraction x total pressure
What is the only factor that affects Kp? (1)
Temperature
Summary diagram to show effects of changes in temperature on Kp (12)
ΔΗ, Forward reaction, Change in temperature, Shift in eqm. position, eqm. Yield of product, Equilibrium constant K
-ve, exothermic, increase, left ,decrease, decrease
-ve, exothermic, decrease ,right ,increase ,increase
+ve ,endothermic ,increase ,right ,increase ,increase
+ve, endothermic, decrease, left ,decrease ,decrease
Summary diagram to show effects of changes in pressure on Kp (6)
Increase in pressure= eqm pos shifts to the right and yield of product increases No effect to Kp
Decrease in pressure= eqm pos shifts to the left and yield of product decreases No effect to Kp

Just has no affect overall
Use curly brackets not square brackets for KP
gjf
Units for kP
kPA1
would be kPA-1 if on the denominator
DINT FORGET TO ADD P ON THE BRACKEWTS
vvf
How do you reafrrange to find the total prrssure of a reaction
reactants x kP / products
Work out the units
kPa2/ kPa kPa3
kPa-2
Ensure you do not use square brackets
dfa
In this equilibrium which is exothermic in the forward direction
N2+ 3H2<–> 2 NH3
If temperature is increased what happens
the reaction will shift to oppose the change
and move in the backwards endothermic direction. The position of
equilibrium shifts left. The value of Kp gets smaller as there are fewer
products.
