AS CHEMISTRY QUERY - EQUILIBRIUM CONSTANT
rackmeup:
Guys, could anyone explain to me that why only temperature changes affect EC while changes in concentration, pressure do not?
Shouldn't them all have effects on the position of equilibrium?? Many Thanks!!
By the way, hows everybody's revision going?? I ll be sitting mine next Monday, I am nervouse as hell :Z
girl_92:
there is somethin such as le chateliers principle according to it wen u increase the concentration the system will try to deacrease it by shifting to the othr side so does it do for pressure changes in presssure actually attributes to changes in volume and the constant is not affected by the total but partial pressure ( overall the total pressure stays constant) wen you increase the concteration of one substance system decreases it but overall the kc ratio will remain the same only wheareas at diff temp the value can chnage suppose hydrogen iodide at high temperstures it will decompose more
hope u get it
if not ask me again

Thank u very much. Its all abt the math, isnt it?
sry to bother u again, bt do u know why weak acids and bases have smaller value of enthalpy change of neutralisation compared to strong acids and bases.
Dont the weak acids dissociate to ions(H+, OH-)completely if left there long enough? or if given sufficient amount of energy they will ionise as well.
If that extra energy is given, I figure that is some sort of activation energy, and the change in energy level between reactants and products is independent from the extra energy added.
??? I am confused
MANY THANKS

not exactly , both strong and weak acid and base does infact dissociate completely given enough energy thus the dissociation is proportional to tempreture . how ever for a weak acid to dissociate completely it has to attain energy thus its and endothermic reaction , thus the products of a weak acid is thermodinamically less stable then that of the reactants or at a higher energy level . however when we consider entalphy change of neutralisatoin we consider only 25 degrees tempreture or 298 k this at that specific tempreture the weak acid or base can only dissociate partially thus entalphy change is smaller . p.s all this extra stuff is in a2 though :-\

THANK YOU INVERSE TANGENT GRAPH (I WONDER HOW IT LOOKS LIKE)=)
THE SYLLABUS SAYS ITS AS THOUGH
GD LUCK WITH UR EXAM!!!
