What do square brackets [ ] represent?
Concentration in mol dm-3
1 of 10
In equilibria reactions, What does p represent?
The pressure of a gas in atmosphere (atm)
2 of 10
What is the equation for the equilibrium constant, Kc, for reaction aA + bB ↔ cC + dD?
([C]^c x [D]^d) divided by ([A]^a x [B]^b)
3 of 10
What is the equilibrium constant Kc affected by?
The temperature only
4 of 10
What is the unit of the equilibrium constant Kc?
It depends on the particular equilibrium expression. Use the equation for the equilibrium constant except use mol dm-3 with mole ratios as the indices.

Based on Le Chatelier’s principle of reactions in equilibrium, what will happen to a reaction if some extra amount of a reactant/product was added?
The equilibrium of the reaction would shift to oppose the change and remove the extra chemical
6 of 10
For the reaction H2 + Br2 ↔ 2HBr, describe how the equilibrium changes when the following happens: more Br2 is added, OH- is added or more HBr is added.
1 - Equilibrium shifts to right, 2 - O reacts to form water meaning loss of HBr so equilibrium shifts to right to counter this, 3 - Equilibrium shifts to left
7 of 10
What is the effect of using a catalyst on the equilibrium of a reaction and the equilibrium constant Kc?
This only changes the rate. It doesn’t affect the position of eq or the Kc
8 of 10
What is the effect of changing the pressure on the equilibrium of a reaction and the equilibrium constant Kc?
Increasing press moves eq to side with fewer gas molecules to reduce press and vice versa. Kc is unaltered
9 of 10
What is the effect of changing the temperature on the equilibrium of a reaction and the equilibrium constant Kc?
Equilibrium shifts to side where endothermic reaction is taking place. Kc dos change
