7.2 - The Position of Equilibrium
  1. Equilibrium Constant, Kc - has a fixed value for a particular reactions at a specified temperature. Can only be changed for a reaction by adjusting the temperature
    1. Calculated from the equilibrium concentrations. Products divided by reactants, raised to their coefficients.
      1. The higher magnitude of Kc, the further a reaction has gone, i.e. the more products there are compared to reactants.
        1. For example, if Kc < 0,01, the eqm concentration of reactants is considered to be equal to their initial concentrations, since the forward reaction almost does not happen
        2. Le Chatelier's Principle- When a system at equilibrium is subjected to change, it will respond in such way as to minimise the effect of the change
          1. Increaseing the concentration of a reactant: equilibrium shifts to the right
            1. Decreasing the concentration of reactant: equilibrium shifts to the left
              1. Increasing the pressure: shifts toward the side with the least number of gaseous molecules
                1. Drecreasing the pressure: shifts towards the side with the most number of gaseous molecules
                  1. Increasing the temperature: shifts towards the side with endothermin products
                    1. Increases Kc
                    2. Decreasing the temperature: shifts towards the side with exothermic products
                      1. Decreases Kc
                      2. Adding a catalyst does not shift the equilibrium; it increases the rate of both forward and backward reaction
                      3. Haber process
                        1. 1Nitrogen and 3hydrogen creates 2ammonia
                          1. Exothermic reaction
                            1. Iron acting as a catalyst
                            2. Contact process
                              1. 1sulphur and 1 oxygen creates sulphur dioxide, which is oxidised into sulphur trioxide, which is combined with water to create sulphuric acid
                                1. Second step is the rate-determining step
                                  1. Exothermic rate-determining step
                                    1. V2O5 as catalyst
