    Chemistry - Le Chatelier Principle - What is K
    Consider the system
    SO3(g) = SO2 (g) + 1/2o2 (g) triangleH = 98.9 kj.

    Questions is which of the above factors will increase the value of K?
    Which will decrease it?

    The trouble is i can't work out what k is? Someone please help.
    The triangle is a symbol but can't find it on the computer thanks.

    No it's the rate constant not degrees kelvin thanks. And it's a capital K

    Have a look on this website on "Le Chatelier's principle" and see the line "The principle is an empirical observation and .... eg ....."

    So related to that line : what in physics is measured in K??

    And what will increase and what will decrease K here ?
