Flashcard 1: Identify the correct Kc for CaCO3(s)⇌CaO(s)+CO2(g).
Answer: Kc=[CO2]. Solids omitted; only gaseous CO₂ appears in the expression.
Flashcard 2: Identify the correct Kc for N2(g)+3H2(g)⇌2NH3(g).
Answer: Kc=[N2][H2]3[NH3]2. Products over reactants with coefficients: 2 for NH₃, 3 for H₂.
Flashcard 3: Which temperature unit must be used in Kp=Kc(RT)Δn calculations?
Answer: T must be in kelvin (K). Absolute temperature required for ideal gas calculations.
Flashcard 4: What is Δngas for Kp=Kc(RT)Δngas?
Answer: Δngas=∑νprod,gas−∑νreact,gas. Change in moles of gas: product coefficients minus reactant coefficients.
Flashcard 5: What is the value of K for any reaction written as X⇌X?
Answer: K=1. Same species on both sides cancel out, leaving unity.
Flashcard 6: Which species are omitted from K expressions: pure solids, pure liquids, gases, or aqueous solutes?
Answer: Pure solids and pure liquids are omitted. Their activities equal 1, so they don't affect the equilibrium constant.
Flashcard 7: What is the general expression for Kp for aA+bB⇌cC+dD (gases)?
Answer: Kp=(PA)a(PB)b(PC)c(PD)d. Uses partial pressures instead of concentrations for gas-phase equilibria.
Flashcard 8: What is the general expression for Kc for aA+bB⇌cC+dD?
Answer: Kc=[A]a[B]b[C]c[D]d. Products over reactants, each raised to their stoichiometric coefficients.
Flashcard 9: Calculate Kc for A⇌2B if [A]=0.50M and [B]=0.20M at equilibrium.
Answer: Kc=0.080. Kc=[B]2/[A]=(0.20)2/0.50=0.040/0.50=0.080
Flashcard 10: What is K for the reaction if the given reaction has K=3.0 and all coefficients are doubled?
Answer: Knew=9.0. Doubling coefficients squares K: 3.02=9.0
Flashcard 11: What is K for the reverse reaction if K=4.0×10−3 for the forward reaction?
Answer: Kreverse=2.5×102. Kreverse=1÷(4.0×10−3)=2.5×102
Flashcard 12: Find Kc if Kp=2.0, Δngas=−2, T=400K, and R=0.0821.
Answer: Kc=2.15×103. Kc=2.0÷(0.0821×400)−2=2.0×1079=2.15×103
Flashcard 13: Find Kp if Kc=0.50, Δngas=1, T=300K, and R=0.0821.
Answer: Kp=12.3. Kp=0.50×(0.0821×300)1=0.50×24.63=12.3
Flashcard 14: State the relationship between Kp and Kc using Δngas.
Answer: Kp=Kc(RT)Δngas. Relates pressure and concentration constants via ideal gas law.
Flashcard 15: What is K for an overall reaction made by adding reactions with constants K1 and K2?
Answer: Koverall=K1K2. When reactions add, their equilibrium constants multiply.
Flashcard 16: What happens to K when all coefficients in the reaction are multiplied by n?
Answer: Knew=Kn. Each concentration term gets raised to n, so K is raised to n.
Flashcard 17: What happens to K when the reaction is reversed?
Answer: Kreverse=Kforward1. Reversing swaps products and reactants, inverting the fraction.
Flashcard 18: Calculate Kp for 2A(g)⇌B(g) if PA=0.50atm and PB=2.0atm at equilibrium.
Answer: Kp=8.0. Kp=PB/(PA)2=2.0/(0.50)2=2.0/0.25=8.0
Flashcard 19: What is Δngas for 2SO2(g)+O2(g)⇌2SO3(g)?
Answer: Δngas=−1. 2 moles gas products minus 3 moles gas reactants equals −1.
Flashcard 20: Identify the correct Kc for CH3COOH(aq)⇌H+(aq)+CH3COO−(aq).
Answer: Kc=[CH3COOH][H+][CH3COO−]. Weak acid dissociation: products over undissociated acid.
Flashcard 21: What is K for the overall reaction if two steps have constants K1 and K2 and are added?
Answer: Koverall=K1K2. When reactions add, equilibrium constants multiply.
Flashcard 22: Calculate Kc if at equilibrium [A]=0.20M, [B]=0.30M, [C]=0.40M for A+B⇌C.
Answer: Kc=(0.20)(0.30)0.40=6.7. Substitute equilibrium concentrations into Kc expression.
Flashcard 23: Which species are omitted from K for a heterogeneous equilibrium involving pure solids and liquids?
Answer: Pure solids and pure liquids are omitted (activity =1). Their concentrations remain constant during reaction.
Flashcard 24: What is the effect on K when a reaction is reversed?
Answer: Krev=K1. Reversing flips the fraction, giving the reciprocal.
Flashcard 25: What is the relationship between Kc and Kp using Δn and R,T?
Answer: Kp=Kc(RT)Δn. Relates concentration and pressure equilibrium constants.
Flashcard 26: What is Δn (used in Kp=Kc(RT)Δn) for gas-phase equilibria?
Answer: Δn=mol gas products−mol gas reactants. Change in moles of gas from reactants to products.
Flashcard 27: What is the equilibrium constant expression Kc for 2NO2(g)⇌N2O4(g)?
Answer: Kc=[NO2]2[N2O4]. Products over reactants with stoichiometric exponents.
Flashcard 28: What is the equilibrium constant expression Kp for N2(g)+3H2(g)⇌2NH3(g)?
Answer: Kp=PN2(PH2)3(PNH3)2. Partial pressures raised to stoichiometric coefficients.

Answer: Kc=[CO2]. Solids omitted; only gas concentration appears.
Flashcard 30: What is Kp for CaCO3(s)⇌CaO(s)+CO2(g)?
Answer: Kp=PCO2. Solids omitted; only gas pressure appears.
