Question

properties of equilibrium constant. ​

Answer 1

$\huge\boxed{\underline{\mathcal{\red{H}\purple{E}\green{L}\orange{L}\pink{O}}}}$

• It has a definite value for every chemical reaction at a particular temperature.
• It is independent of initial concentrations of the reacting species.
• It changes with the change in the temperature.
• It depends on the nature of the reaction.

Answer 2

• equilibrium constant - only changed by temperature, not by reaction mechanism

• equilibrium constant - only changed by temperature, not by reaction mechanism for reaction aA + bB <<>> cC + dD

• Keq = (C concentration)c(D concentration)d / (A concentration)a(B concentration)b

• value determined by coefficients in chemical equation

• value greater than 1 >> equilibrium towards product side

• value less than 1 >> equilibrium towards reactant side

• for any reaction, constant equal to reciprocal of constant for reverse reaction

• constant raised to power equal to number by which reaction is multiplied

• constants multiplied together for net reactions involving 2+ steps

• do not include pure solids, pure liquids, or solvents in finding constant
