solids & liquids

[Claudeth Martinez 1D]

Why do we ignore the solids and the liquids when finding k?

[Alexandra Albers 1D]

Pure solids and liquids are ignored in finding K because they do not have an effect on the amount of reactant at equilibrium and they are kept at a value of 1 for the calculation.

[Rachel-Weisz3C]

Aqueous solutions are also left out when finding K and these also apply when finding Q.

Because solids and liquids don't have concentrations. They're pure substances. So including them makes no sense.

[WilliamNguyen_4L]

It's not that solids and liquids don't have a concentration it's just that they remain constant throughout the reaction so there would be no point in including them since it would not change the value of Q or K.

Solid and liquids don't have concentrations so no reaction would really occur
