Interpretation:
The entropy
Concept Introduction:
Entropy
Kp: The equilibrium constant calculated from the partial pressures of a reaction equation. It is used to express the relationship between product pressures and reactant pressures. It is unites number, although it relates the pressures.
To find: Identify equilibrium directions for given the statement of entropy equilibrium reaction with respective images (iii).
