Document Summary
If two or more reactions are added to give another, the equilibrium constant for the reaction is the product of the equilibrium constants of the equation added. The equilibrium constant, k, is constant as long as temperature is constant. Can cause a shift in the equilibrium position can cause a change in the value of k. Heat + h2o (l) h2o (g) More h2o (g) is produced: ph2o increases. Shift in equilibrium position to the right. Exothermic: a process that releases energy in the form of heat. Endothermic: a process or reaction that absorbs energy in the form of heat. As temperature increases, k goes down which means the heat is on the. For the general reaction: aa + bb cc + dd. The reaction quotient q = [c]c[d]d / [a]a[b]b. Q gives the ratio of product concentrations to reactant concentrations at any point in a reaction. 2 no(g) n2 (g) + o2 (g) kp = 2. 4 x 103.
