Kp Equilibrium constant

Cards (5)

  • Total pressure = sum of partial pressures
  • Partial pressure = mole fraction × total pressure
  • Mole fraction of A = Number of moles of species A / Total number of moles of all gas species
    Would give a number lower then 0
  • Kp
    Equation aA(g) + bB(g) ⇌ cC(g) + d(D)(g)
    Don't use brackets [] because it's not concentration
    Kp = ( P(C)^c × P(D)^d ) ÷ ( P(A)^a × P(B)^b ) with P(A) meaning partial pressure of species A. Units is kPa
    • Temperature affects KP
    • Pressure doesn't affect KP
    • Catalyst has no effect on KP
