Topic 1.10. Equilibrium Constant Kp for Homogenous Systems

a) The equilibrium constant Kp is deduced from the equation for a reversible reaction
occurring in the gas phase
Recall
b) Kp is the equilibrium constant calculated from partial pressures for a system at constant
temperature.
c) Derive partial pressure from mole fraction and total pressure
d) Construct an expression for Kp for a homogenous system in equilibrium
e) Perform calculations involving Kp
f) Predict the qualitative effects of changes in temperature and pressure on the position of
Application equilibrium
g) Predict the qualitative effects of changes in temperature on the value of Kp
h) Understand that, whilst a catalyst can affect the rate of attainment of an equilibrium, it
does not affect the value of the equilibrium constant
