  1. Chemical Equilibrium Dynamic Equilibrium

  2. Reversible reactions • Always reach the same equilibrium concentration whether you start with the reactants or products • The forward and reverse reaction proceed at equal rates (k1 = k-1) N2 + 3 H2 2 NH3 • YouTube - Belousov-Zhabotinsky Reaction

  3. Equilibrium does not mean equal amounts at equilibrium! H2(g) + I2(g) 2 HI(g) At equilibrium: [H2] = 0.022 M, [I2] = 0.022 M, [HI] = 0.156 M • There is more HI at equilibrium (0.156 M) than there is of H2 and I2 (both at 0.022M). • The product side of this reaction is favored.

  4. The Equilibrium Constant Expression • The equilibrium constant expression relates the concentrations of the products to the reactants aA + bB cC + dD • [C]c[D]d • K = [A]a[B]b

  5. Reaction Quotient, Q • When a reaction is not at equilibrium the concentration of the of the products to reactants is called the mass action expression and is equal to the reaction quotient. • When Q = Kc the reaction is in equilibrium • [C]c[D]d • Q = [A]a[B]b

  6. Equilibrium Constant Facts • K is independent of the original concentrations. • K does depend on the temperature of the reaction. • K does not include solids or liquids because their concentration is not changing. • K’ is the reverse reaction equilibrium constant • K’ = 1/K • K for the overall reaction is equal to the product of the individual step reaction constants

  7. Equilibrium Constant Facts 7) Multiplying the Coefficients by a Factor PCl3 + Cl2 PCl5 Kc 2PCl3 + 2 Cl2 2 PCl5 Kc’ Kc’ = Kc2

  8. The Equilibrium Constant • We can calculate the equilibrium constants by combining two or more reactions for which the value of K is known. N2(g) + O2(g)  2 NO (g) K1 = 2.3 x 10-19 2 NO(g) + O2(g)  2 NO2(g) K2 = 3 x 106 __________________________ N2(g) + 2 O2(g) 2 NO2(g) K = K1 x K2 = (2.3 x 10-19)(3 x 106) = 7 x 10-13

  9. Equilibrium Law for Gases, Kp • To use Kp, everything must be a gas. • Just like Kc, Kp always has the same value (provided you don't change the temperature), irrespective of the amounts of A, B, C and D you started with. • Kp has exactly the same format as Kc, except that partial pressures are used instead of concentrations.

  10. The Haber Process N2 (g) + 3H2 (g) 2NH3(g) • The Kp expression: Kp = (PNH3)2 (PN2) (PH2)3 • Remember: PA = the partial pressure of A, which is the mole fraction of A x the total pressure PA = XA x PT

  11. Kp andKc • The relationship between Kc and Kp is derived from the Ideal Gas Law: Kp = Kc x (RT) Dn • R = ideal gas constant = 0.0821 L-atm/mol-K • T = temperature of the system in Kelvin • Dn= moles of gas products - moles of gas reactants

  12. The Value of Kc or Kp • A very large Kc or Kp indicates the reaction goes to completion, meaning the reaction is not reversible • A very small Kc or Kp indicates the forward reaction does not occur to any real extent. • Double-digit negative/positive powers of ten meets the requirement for very small/large.

  13. Le Châtelier’s Principle • If an outside influence upsets an equilibrium the system undergoes a change in a direction that counter-acts the disturbing influence, and returns the system to equilibrium.

  14. Conditions that Disturb an Equilibrium Reaction • changing the concentration of one of the components (either by adding more or removing some) • changing the pressure of the system • changing the temperature

  15. Changing the Concentration • Adding or removing a reactant or product shifts the equilibrium to consume the added substance or replace the substance removed. CoCl42- + 6 H2O Co(H2O)62+ +4Cl- • Le Chatelier Principle

  16. Changing the Temperature • Increasing the temperature shifts the equilibrium towards the endothermic direction and decreasing the temperature shifts toward the exothermic direction. 2 NO2(red-brown)  N2O4 (colorless)+heat Effect of Temperature on an Equilibrium Reaction Nitrogen dioxide

  17. Changing the Pressure • If the volume decreases the equilibrium shifts the reduce the number of molecules of gas to counter the increased pressure and visa-versa for increasing the volume. • Le Chatelier

  18. Factors that do not Change the Equilibrium of a Reaction • Catalyst- only increases the rate at which the reaction achieves equilibrium. • Inert gas added (at constant volume) – does not change the concentration of the reactants or products.
