they both have no units, but Kp is calculated using atm and Kc is calculated using molarity
Back
If the reaction only contains reactants...
Front
Q = 0
Back
Adding a catalyst...
Front
DOES NOT change the concentration
Back
Removing product...
Front
shifts right
Back
Q < K
Front
reaction goes to the right (products)
Back
Adding product...
Front
shifts left
Back
Large equilibrium constant means...
Front
products are favored
Back
Q = K
Front
reaction is at equilibrium
Back
K<1
Front
Reverse reaction is favored
Back
If the reaction is added
Front
multiply Kc
Back
If the reaction is reversed
Front
invert Kc
Back
Adding an inert gas...
Front
DOES NOT change the concentration
Back
Small equilibrium constant means...
Front
reactants are favored
Back
If the reaction only contains products...
Front
Q = infinity
Back
Removing reactant...
Front
shifts left
Back
Increasing volume...
Front
decrease in pressure and shifts toward the side with the more moles
Back
Forward reaction
Front
Reactants to Products
Back
Q > K
Front
reactions goes to the left (reactants)

Le Chateller's Principle
Front
when a chemical system at equilibrium is disturbed, the system shifts in the direction that minimizes the disturbance
Back
At equilibrium....
Front
K = Q
Back
K=1
Front
neither reaction is favored
Back
In an exothermic reaction, increasing temperature means...
Front
adding product, shifts left, value of K decreases because concentration of the products decrease and the concentration of the reactants increase.
Back
Solubility product constant (Ksp)
Front
Measures solubility of a compound
Back
Reaction Quotient
Front
measures the progress of a reaction relative to equilibrium
Back
1 atm
Front
760 mmHg and 760 Torr
Back
How is q calculated?
Front
Same way as Kc
Back
In an endothermic reaction, increasing temperature means...
Front
adding reactant, shifts right, and the value of K increases because the concentration of the products increase and the concentration of the reactants decrease.
Back
Buffer
Front
A solution that minimizes changes in pH when extraneous acids or bases are added to the solution.
Back
K>1
Front
Forward reaction is favored
Back
Solids and liquids are...
Front
completely omitted from calculations
Back
Adding reactant...
Front
shifts right
Back
In an endothermic reaction, decreasing temperature means...
Front
removing reactant, shifts left, value of K decreases because the concentration of the products decrease and the concentration of the reactants increase.
Back
Difference between K and Q
Front
Q depends on what STATE of the reaction and K has a given temperature that has only one value that specifies a relative amount
Back
Decreasing volume...
Front
increase in pressure and shifts toward the side with the least amount of moles
Back
If the reaction is multiplied
Front
raise Kc to the power
Back
In a exothermic reaction, decreasing temperature means...
Front
removing product, shifts right, value of K increases because the concentration of the products increase and the concentration of the reactants decrease.
