Equilibrium constant inverse

We will use two useful relationships when working with equilibrium constants. First, if we reverse a reaction s direction, the equilibrium constant for the new reaction is simply the inverse of that for the original reaction. For example, the equilibrium constant for the reaction... 

The wastewater contains Cd +, so an anion must also be present in the solution to balance the charge of the cadmium ions. Other species may exist as well. The problem asks only about the cadmium in the wastewater, so assume that any other ions are spectators. The sodium hydroxide solution contains Na and OH, so the major species in the treated wastewater include B.2 O, Cd ", OH", and Na. The equilibrium constant for the precipitation reaction is the inverse of for Cd (OH)2 ... 

The enantiomerization of phenoxyalkanoic acids containing a chiral side chain has been studied in soil using (Buser and Muller 1997). It was shown that there was an equilibrium between the R- and S- enantiomers of 2-(4-chloro-2-methylphenoxy)propionic acid (MCPP) and 2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)propionic acid (DCPP) with an equilibrium constant favoring the herbicidally active f -enantiomer. The exchange reactions proceeded with both retention and inversion of configuration at the chiral sites. 

Equation (22) indicates that the production formation rate is proportional to the hydrogen gas pressure. When the hydrogen gas pressure doubles, the product formation rate should be doubled. The product formation rate is inversely proportional to the equilibrium constant K. When the K value decreases, the product formation rate increases. 

Confusingly, all of these terms are in current use to express the position of the equilibrium between a ligand and its receptors. The choice arises because the ratio of the rate constants k and k can be expressed either way up. In this chapter, we take KA to be k, kA and it is then strictly a dissociation equilibrium constant, often abbreviated to either dissociation constant or equilibrium constant. The inverse ratio, k+l k x, gives the association equilibrium constant, which is usually referred to as the affinity constant. 

The Michaelis-Menten constant defined by Eq. 11, is the equilibrium constant for the dissociation of he ES complex and is inversely related to the affinity of the enzyme for the substrate, therefore, a low KM value reflects high affinity ... 

B First we reverse the given reaction to put N02(g) on the reactant side. The new equilibrium constant is the inverse of the given one. 

Note that we deviate slightly from the common convention according to which Ka and Kb should be the inverse of the equilibrium constants since A and B are products our usage simplifies the notation in this context. 

Consequently, it is seen, from the measurement of the overall reaction rate and the steady-state approximation, that values of the rate constants of the intermediate radical reactions can be determined without any measurement of radical concentrations. Values k exp and xp evolve from the experimental measurements and the form of Eq. (2.31). Since (ki/k5) is the inverse of the equilibrium constant for Br2 dissociation and this value is known from thermodynamics, k2 can be found from xp. The value of k4 is found from k2 and the equilibrium constant that represents reactions (2.2) and (2.4), as written in the H2 Br2 reaction scheme. From the experimental value of k CX(l and the calculated value of k4, the value k3 can be determined. 

The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, describing a dispersion in location and momentum of material particles that depends inversely on their mass, gives rise to vibrational zero-point energy differences between molecules that differ only isotopically. These zero-point energy differences are the main origin of equilibrium chemical isotope effects, i.e., non-unit isotopic ratios of equilibrium constants such as K /Kj) for a reaction of molecules bearing a protium (H) atom or a deuterium (D) atom. 

Ka is the association equilibrium constant and is inverse proportional to the dissociation equilibrium constant Kd ... 

Thus the amounts present at equilibrium are inversely proportional to their disintegration constant or directly proportional to their half-lives. 

The effect (upon the overall rate of conversion of dichromate to chromate) of changing the chromate ion concentration was studied. The rate was inversely proportional to the square of the chromate concentration, as well as proportional to the dichromate concentration. Since oxygen and nitrogen dioxide had no effect on the rate, the nitryl ion, N(>2+ was postulated as intermediate. However, the equilibrium constant for the reaction could not be determined because too little N02+ was formed. 

The use of dimensionless groups will simplify the solution to Eq. (3.119). Let the concentration of the complex, [C], be scaled to the total receptor concentration, such that u = [C]/[f ]T and the dimensionless time, t, is given by t = kr/t. The ratio of the reverse to forward rate constants is simply the dissociation equilibrium constant (the inverse of our normal equilibrium constant), Kd = K/kf, so that Eq. (3.119) now becomes... 

Dynamic NMR shows the presence of two conformations in 1,3,5,7-tetroxocane a crown and a boat-chair. The equilibrium constant is strongly solvent and temperature dependent, with the highly symmetrical crown, which has a high dipole moment, having a lower entropy than the boat chair by about 6 J K-1 mol-1 (72JA1390,1389). Hie interconversion barrier is 50 kJ mol-1, and no ring inversion nor pseudorotation process has been detected in the boat-chair. 

It follows that the equilibrium constant K is given by kf/kr. The reverse reaction is inverse second order in iodide, and inverse first-order in H+. This means that the transition state for the reverse reaction contains the elements of arsenious acid and triiodide ion less two iodides and one hydrogen ion, namely, H2As03I. This is the same as that for the forward reaction, except for the elements of one molecule of water, the solvent, the participation of which cannot be determined experimentally. The concept of a common transition state for the forward and reverse reactions is called the principle of microscopic reversibility. 

The second expression, for bss, is independent of the equilibrium constant and has exactly the same form as that derived for the irreversible system (eqn (2.9)). For the intermediate A, the stationary-state concentration is increased by the reversibility of the steps the first term in eqn (2.30) is that corresponding to the irreversible solution (eqn (2.10)), the second is proportional to the inverse of the equilibrium constant. Thus, as Ke - oo, ass tends smoothly to our previous result.
