Magnitude and Properties of the Equilibrium Constant

If the equilibrium constant is much greater than one (K >> 1) then

• Equilibrium is not established.
• Equilibrium lies to the right (products are favored)
• Equilibrium lies to the left (reactants are favored)
• Neither products or reactants are favored.

If the equilibrium constant is much less than one (K << 1) then

• Equilibrium is not established.
• Equilibrium lies to the right (products are favored)
• Equilibrium lies to the left (reactants are favored)
• Neither products or reactants are favored.

In the equation K_c = K_p(RT)^Δn , the Δn means

• The sum of all the moles.
• moles of products - moles of reactants
• moles of reactants - moles of product
• reaction order

N₂O₄(g) ↔ 2 NO₂(g)
What is the concentration equilibrium constant expression?

• K_c = [NO₂]²/[N₂O₄]
• K_c = [N₂O₄]/[NO₂]²
• K_c = [N₂O₄]²/[NO₂]
• K_c = [NO₂]/[N₂O₄]²

N₂O₄(g) ↔ 2 NO₂(g)
What is the equilibrium constant expression?

• K_p = (P_NO2)²/ (P_N2O4)
• K_p = (P_N2O4) / (P_NO2)^₂
• K_p = (P_N2O4)² / (P_NO2)
• K_p = (P_NO2) / (P_N2O4)²

For the equilibrium

• 0.335
• 3.4 x 10^-5

What is the equilibrium-constant expression for 
CO₂(g) + H₂(g) ↔ CO(g) + H₂O(l)

• K_c= [CO][H₂O] / [CO₂][H₂]  
• K_c= [CO₂][H₂] / [CO]
• K_c= [CO₂][H₂] / [CO][H₂O]
• K_c= [CO] / [CO₂][H₂]  

Find the K_c for
2NOBr(g) + Cl₂(g) ↔ 2NO(g) + 2BrCl(g)

has a K_c = 0.014
Br2(g) + Cl2(g) ↔ 2BrCl(g)
has a K_c = 7.2
