How does a change in temperature affect the Kc value when the forward reaction is exothermic?

To explain this I will use a made up example question: A2(g) + B2(g) <-> 2AB Change in enthalpy= Negative remember: according to Le Chatlier's principle, if a system in e...

Explain the trends in reactivity as you move down group one elements.

As you move down group one atomic radius increases. As a result the attraction to outer electrons is weaker. As there are an increased number of energy levels, shielding to the outer electrons also increa...

Explain how fractional distillation works.

Hydrocarbons have different boiling points and therefore different condensation points. The linger the hydrocarbon, the more intermolecular forces exerting between each molecule. This means that it requir...
