The Equilibrium Constant (Kc)

Quantifying the position of equilibrium using the law of mass action.

Key Questions

  1. 1What does the magnitude of the equilibrium constant tell us about the extent of a reaction?
  2. 2Why are pure solids and liquids omitted from the equilibrium expression?
  3. 3How does temperature affect the value of Kc for an exothermic reaction?
