When does a dynamic equilibrium exist
When the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction
How is the exact position of equilibrium calculated
Using the equilibrium law
What does the equilibrium law define
The equilibrium constant (Kc) in terms of concentrations
What do you need to know in order to calculate an equilibrium constant
The equilibrium concentrations of the reactants and products
What does a Kc value of 1 indicate
A position of equilibrium that is halfway between reactants and products
What does a Kc value >1 indicate
A position of equilibrium that is towards the products
What does a Kc value <1 indicate
A position of equilibrium that is towards the reactants
The larger the value of Kc, the…
…further the position of equilibrium lies to the right-hand side and the greater the concentrations of the products compared to the reactants
