K value at a specific temp

[Goyama_2A]

In the “skills you have mastered” section of 5J, it says we should be able to predict the value of K at one temperature from its value at another temperature. Lavelle excluded part of this section from the assigned reading, but I just wanted to make sure. Should we be able to do this? Have we addressed it at all in lecture?

The basic idea is that K values change based on the temperature.

What should we know about the activity of a reaction?

What should we know about the activity of a reaction?

We talk about activities when we talk about K. When we use partial pressures and concentrations to calculate K, we're actually using approximations. In reality, K is calculated by using activities.

When the temperature is increased, K is higher. When the temperature is decreased, K is lower.

[Leonardo Le Merle 1D]

Depending on the type of reaction (endothermic or exothermic), temperature affects K differently, increasing it for endothermic ones and decreasing it for exothermic ones.

[Jasmine Vallarta 2L]

we only have to predict the K value at a temperature change for exo/endothermic reactions. That's all that was covered in lecture
