Chemical Equilibrium Kp

An equilibrium constant with a value of 4.6 x 10¹⁵ indicates that at equilibrium

• the reactants are favored.

• the products are favored.

• approximately equal concentrations of reactants and products are present.

When pressure decreases, in which direction does the equilibrium shift?

• The equilibrium shifts in the direction that increases the number of moles of gas.

• The equilibrium shifts in the direction that decreases the number of moles of gas.

• The equilibrium does not shift.

• The equilibrium shifts always shifts to the right.

• The equilibrium shifts always shifts to the left.

For an endothermic reaction, increasing the temperature

• does not shift the equilibrium since K is a constant.

• increases the rate of the reverse reaction to form more reactants.

• increases the rate of the forward reaction to form more products.

• increases the rate of the reverse reaction to form more products.
