K<1
reactants favored
K>1
products favored
what happens when Kp/Kc value is very large
no reactants are left, rxn. goes to completion
what happens when Kp/Kc value is very small
reaction barely proceeds
pressure increases
shifts rxn. to the side with less moles
volume decreases
pressure increases, shifts rxn. to the side with less moles
change in temperature (exo)
heat acts as product, shifts rxn. left
change in temperature (endo)
heat acts as reactant, shifts rxn. right
addition of a liquid/solid
no change
addition of an inert gas
no change
exothermic rxn. increases temperature
K value decreases
exothermic rxn. decreases temperature
K value increases
rate of rxn. when equilibrium is close
slows down
rate of rxn. when equilibrium is achieved
forward and reverse rate constant
rate of rxn. when a disturbance happens
speeds up until new equilibrium is reached
rate of rxn. when a catalyst is introduced
equilibrium is reached faster
difference between K and Q
K is a point at equilibrium, Q is any point during a rxn.
Q>K
reaction proceeds to the left, precipitate will form
Q<K
reaction proceeds to the right, precipitate will not form
