5short Q&A pairs drawn directly from our worked dot-point answer. For full context and worked exam questions, read the parent dot-point page.

What is dynamic equilibrium?
Show answer
A reversible reaction reaches dynamic equilibrium when the forward and backward reactions proceed at equal rates in a closed system, so the concentrations of all species stay constant (though the reactions continue). Both reactions are still occurring; nothing has stopped.
What is the meaning of KK?
Show answer
A large KK (1\gg 1) means products are favoured at equilibrium; a small KK (1\ll 1) means reactants are favoured. The value of KK depends only on temperature. Changing concentration or pressure shifts the position of equilibrium but does not change KK.
What is q1?
Show answer
Write the KpK_p expression for N2(g)+3H2(g)2NH3(g)\text{N}_2(g) + 3\text{H}_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2\text{NH}_3(g) and state its units. [2 marks]
What is q2?
Show answer
State the effect on the value of KcK_c of (a) adding a catalyst and (b) raising the temperature of an endothermic reaction. [2 marks]
What is q3?
Show answer
2.02.0 mol of A and 2.02.0 mol of B in a 11 dm cubed flask reach equilibrium A+BC\text{A} + \text{B} \rightleftharpoons \text{C} with 1.51.5 mol of C formed. Calculate KcK_c. [3 marks]
