  1. CHEMISTRYA Molecular Approach 3rd Edition Chapter 14Chemical Equilibrium

  2. Definition of EQUILIBRIUM • When the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the backward reaction. • Rate of production of product is the same as the rate of the reformation of the reactants.

  3. The Concept of Equilibrium • The double arrow implies the process is dynamic. • Consider: A  B Forward reaction: A  B Rate = kf[A] Reverse reaction: B  A Rate = kr[B] • At equilibrium kf[A] = kr[B].

  4. The Concept of Equilibrium • For an equilibrium we write • As the reaction progresses • [A] decreases to a constant, • [B] increases from zero to a constant. • When [A] and [B] are constant, equilibrium is achieved. • Alternatively: • kf[A] decreases to a constant, • kr[B] increases from zero to a constant. • When kf[A] = kr[B] equilibrium is achieved.

  5. The Concept of Equilibrium

  6. The Equilibrium Constant • For a general reaction the equilibrium constant expression for everything in solution is where Keq is the equilibrium constant.

  7. The Equilibrium Constant • For a general reaction in the gas phase the equilibrium constant expression is where Keq is the equilibrium constant.

  8. Kp and Kc • Kp = Kc(RT)Dn or Kc = Kp RTDn • Where n = # moles products minus the # mole of reactants

  9. 2 TYPES OF EQUILIBRIUM • 1. HOMOGENEOUS EQUILIBRIUM – all components in the same state • 2. HETEROGENEOUS EQUILIBRIUM – components in different states

  10. DIFFERENCES IN K EXPRESSION

  11. Heterogeneous Equilibria • In heterogeneous equilibria, pure solids and pure liquids are not included in the equilibrium expression. Since the concentration of pure liquids and solids is constant, they will be given a value of 1. • For example:

  12. HETEROGENEOUS EQUILIBRIA • We ignore the concentrations of pure liquids and pure solids in equilibrium constant expressions. • CaCO3 (s)  CaO (s) + CO2 (g) • Keq = 1/[PCO2]

  13. The Equilibrium Constant • Kc is based on the molarities (Kp on partial pressure) of reactants and products at equilibrium. • We generally omit the units of the equilibrium constant. • Note that the equilibrium constant expression has products over reactants. • The same equilibrium is established no matter how the reaction is begun.

  14. The Magnitude of Equilibrium Constants • K = [products] ; therefore • [reactants] • If K >> 1; MORE products present at equil. than reactants; Equilibrium lies to the right • If K << 1; LESS products present at equil. than reactants; Equilibrium lies to the left

  15. The Equilibrium Constant The Magnitude of Equilibrium Constants • If K << 1, then reactants dominate at equilibrium and the equilibrium lies to the left.

  16. The Equilibrium Constant The Direction of the Chemical Equation and Keq • An equilibrium can be approached from any direction. • Example: • has

  17. The Equilibrium Constant The Direction of the Chemical Equation and Keq • In the reverse direction:

  18. The Equilibrium Constant Other Ways to Manipulate Chemical Equations and Keq Values • The reaction has which is the square of the equilibrium constant for

  19. The Equilibrium Constant Other Ways to Manipulate Chemical Equations and Keq Values • Equilibrium constant for the reverse direction is the inverse of that for the forward direction. • When a reaction is multiplied by a number, the equilibrium constant is raised to that power. • The equilibrium constant for a reaction which is the sum of other reactions is the product of the equilibrium constants for the individual reactions.

  20. Sample Problems • The equil. constant for the ff. rxn. is 0.013. • 2NO (g) + Br2 (g) D 2NOBr(g) • 1. Does the rxn favor the reactants or products? • 2. Calculate Keq for: a. 2NOBr(g) D 2NO (g) + Br2 (g) • b. 4NO(g) + 2Br2D 4NOBr(g)

  21. Sample Problem • Write the equilibrium expression for: • NH3(aq) + H2O(l) D NH4+(aq) + OH-(aq)

  22. Applications of Equilibrium Constants Predicting the Direction of Reaction • We define Q, the reaction quotient, for a general reaction as • Q = K only at equilibrium.

  23. Applications of Equilibrium Constants Predicting the Direction of Reaction • If Q > K then the reverse reaction must occur to reach equilibrium (i.e., products are consumed, reactants are formed, the numerator in the equilibrium constant expression decreases and Q decreases until it equals K). • If Q < K then the forward reaction must occur to reach equilibrium. • Please note that Q can only be calculated when initial concentrations are given.

  24. Problem • N2(g) + 3H2(g) D 2NH3(g), Keq = 4.51 x 10-5 • Indicate whether the mixture is at equilibrium at 450 oC and in which direction the mixture must shift to achieve equilibrium if: • A.) 105 atm NH3, 35 atm N2, 495 atm H2 • B.) 26 atm NH3, 42 atm H2, 202 atm N2 • C.) 105 atm NH3, 55 atm H2, 5.0 atm N2

  25. Calculating K • 1. Balance the reaction. • 2. Determine whether initial or equilibrium concentrations are given. • 3. If equil. concentrations are given, K can be calculated directly using the equation K= [product]n/[reactants]n. • 4. If initial concentrations are given, use the “ICE method”.

  26. Calculating Equilibrium Constants • Proceed as follows: • Tabulate initial and equilibrium concentrations (or partial pressures) given. • If an initial and equilibrium concentration is given for a species, calculate the change in concentration. • Use stoichiometry on the change in concentration line only to calculate the changes in concentration of all species. • Deduce the equilibrium concentrations of all species. • Usually, the initial concentration of products is zero. (This is not always the case.)

  27. Calculating K • H2(g) + F2(g) D 2HF(g) • The equilibrium constant for the reaction above is 115 at a certain temperature. In a particular experiment, 3.00 mol of each component was added to a 1.5 L flask. Calculate the equilibrium concentration for all species.

  28. Problem • At 327 oC, the equilibrium concentrations are [CH3OH] = 0.15 M, [CO] = 0.24 M and [H2] = 1.1 M for the reaction: • CH3OH (g) D CO (g) + 2H2 (g) Calculate Kc at this temperature.

  29. Problem • Consider the following rxn. at a certain temperature: • Fe (s) + 3 O2 (g) D 2 Fe2O3 (s) • An equil. mixture contains 1.0 mole Fe, 0.0010 mole O2 and 2.0 mole Fe2O3 all in a 2.0 L container. Calculate Kc for this reaction.

  30. Problem • A 1.00 L flask was filled with 2.00 mole gaseous SO2 and 2.00 mole of NO2 and heated After equil. was reached, it was found that 1.30 mole gaseous NO was present. Calculate the value of Kc for: • SO2 (g) + NO2 (g) D SO3 (g) + NO (g)

  31. Problem • At a particular temperature, Kc = 4.0 x 10-7 for the reaction: N2O4 (g) D 2NO2 (g) In an expt. 1.0 mole of N2O4 is placed in a 1.00 -L vessel. Calculate the concentrations of N2O4 and NO2 when this reaction reaches equilibrium.

  32. Use of Approximation • Approximations can be used if the value of K is so small that the terms (-x) or (+x) will barely have an effect. • Validity of approximation: < 5% • ______[x]______ = < 5% [initial concentration]

  33. Le Châtelier’s Principle • Le Châtelier’s Principle: • If a system at equilibrium is disturbed, the system will move in such a way as to counteract the disturbance.

  34. Le Châtelier’s Principle Effects of Volume and Pressure Changes Effect of Temperature Changes • The equilibrium constant is temperature dependent. • For an endothermic reaction, H > 0 and heat can be considered as a reactant. • For an exothermic reaction, H < 0 and heat can be considered as a product.

  35. Le Châtelier’s Principle Effect of Temperature Changes • Adding heat (i.e. heating the vessel) favors away from the increase: • if H > 0, adding heat favors the forward reaction, • if H < 0, adding heat favors the reverse reaction. • Removing heat (i.e. cooling the vessel), favors towards the decrease: • if H > 0, cooling favors the reverse reaction, • if H < 0, cooling favors the forward reaction.

  36. Le Châtelier’s Principle The Effect of Catalysis • A catalyst lowers the activation energy barrier for the reaction. • Therefore, a catalyst will decrease the time taken to reach equilibrium. • A catalyst does not effect the composition of the equilibrium mixture.
