Changes that Affect the Equilibrium Constant Changes in concentration If all other conditions stay the same, the equilibrium constant Kc is not affected by any changes in concentration of the react...
Equilibrium Constant: Calculations Calculations involving Kc In the equilibrium expression each figure within a square bracket represents the concentration in mol dm-3 The units of Kc therefore dep...
Equilibrium Constant: Concentrations Equilibrium expression & constant The equilibrium expression is an expression that links the equilibrium constant, Kc, to the concentrations of reactants an...
Le Chatelier's Principle Position of the equilibrium The position of the equilibrium refers to the relative amounts of products and reactants in an equilibrium mixture. When the position of equilib...
Reversible Reactions & Dynamic Equilibrium Reversible reaction Some reactions go to completion where the reactants are used up to form the products and the reaction stops when all of the reacta...
Oxidising & Reducing Agents Oxidising agent An oxidising agent is a substance that oxidises another atom or ion by causing it to lose electrons An oxidising agent itself gets reduced – gains el...
Balancing Redox Reactions Oxidation numbers can be used to balance chemical equations Roman numerals between brackets are used to show the ox. no. of an atom that can have multiple oxidation states...
Oxidation Numbers The oxidation numbers (also known as oxidation state) is a number given to each atom or ion in a compound to keep track of how many electrons they have In a single ion or molecula...
Hess Cycles Hess’s Law states that:"The total enthalpy change in a chemical reaction is independent of the route by which the chemical reaction takes place as long as the initial and final conditio...
