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
