This chapter delves into the principles of chemical equilibrium, highlighting its dynamic and reversible nature. Key concepts include the establishment of equilibrium between reactants and products, as well as the significance of the equilibrium constant (K). Various examples illustrate equilibrium in action, such as phase changes and solubility reactions. The behavior of reaction quotients (Q) in relation to K is discussed, providing insight into whether reactions favor products or reactants. This foundational knowledge is crucial for understanding chemical reactions in various contexts.

Chemical Equilibria CaCO3(s) + H2O(liq) + CO2(g) Ca2+(aq) + 2 HCO3-(aq) At a given T and P of CO2, [Ca2+] and [HCO3-] can be found from the EQUILIBRIUM CONSTANT.

The Reaction Quotient, Q In general, ALL reacting chemical systems are characterized by their REACTION QUOTIENT, Q. a A + b B c C + d D If Q = K, then system is at equilibrium.
THE EQUILIBRIUM CONSTANT For any type of chemical equilibrium of the type a A + b B c C + d D the following is a CONSTANT (at a given T) If K is known, then we can predict concs. of products or reactants.

The Meaning of K 1. Can tell if a reaction is product-favored or reactant-favored. For N2(g) + 3 H2(g) 2 NH3(g) Conc. of products is much greater than that of reactants at equilibrium. The reaction is strongly product-favored.
The Meaning of K For AgCl(s) Ag+(aq) + Cl-(aq) Kc = [Ag+] [Cl-] = 1.8 x 10-5 Conc. of products is much less than that of reactants at equilibrium. The reaction with small K is strongly reactant-favored. Ag+(aq) + Cl-(aq) e AgCl(s) is product-favored.
The Meaning of K K comes from thermodynamics. (See Chapter 19) ∆G˚ < 0: reaction is product favored ∆G˚ > 0: reaction is reactant-favored If K > 1, then ∆G˚ is negative If K < 1, then ∆G˚ is positive
The Meaning of K 2. Can tell if a reaction is at equilibrium. If not, which way it moves to approach equilibrium. PLAY MOVIE PLAY MOVIE
The Meaning of K If [iso] = 0.35 M and [n] = 0.15 M, are you at equilibrium? If not, which way does the reaction “shift” to approach equilibrium? See Chemistry Now
The Meaning of K All reacting chemical systems are characterized by their REACTION QUOTIENT, Q. If Q = K, then system is at equilibrium. Q (2.33) < K (2.5) Reaction is NOT at equilibrium, so [iso] must become ________ and [n] must ____________.

Nitrogen Dioxide EquilibriumN2O4(g) 2 NO2(g) If initial concentration of N2O4 is 0.50 M, what are the equilibrium concentrations? Step 1. Set up an ICE table [N2O4] [NO2] Initial 0.50 0 Change Equilib
Nitrogen Dioxide EquilibriumN2O4(g) 2 NO2(g) If initial concentration of N2O4 is 0.50 M, what are the equilibrium concentrations? Step 1. Set up an ICE table [N2O4] [NO2] Initial 0.50 0 Change -x +2x Equilib 0.50 - x 2x
Nitrogen Dioxide EquilibriumN2O4(g) 2 NO2(g) Step 2. Substitute into Kc expression and solve. Rearrange: 0.0059 (0.50 - x) = 4x2 0.0029 - 0.0059x = 4x2 4x2 + 0.0059x - 0.0029 = 0 This is a QUADRATIC EQUATION ax2 + bx + c = 0 a = 4 b = 0.0059c = -0.0029
Nitrogen Dioxide EquilibriumN2O4(g) 2 NO2(g) x = 0.026 or -0.028 But a negative value is not reasonable. Conclusion: x = 0.026 M [N2O4] = 0.050 - x = 0.47 M [NO2] = 2x = 0.052 M x = -0.00074 ± 1/8(0.046)1/2 = -0.00074 ± 0.027
Solving Quadratic Equations • Recommend you solve the equation exactly on a calculator or use the “method of successive approximations” • See Appendix A.

Writing and Manipulating K Expressions Concentration Units We have been writing K in terms of mol/L. These are designated by Kc But with gases, P = (n/V)·RT = conc · RT P is proportional to concentration, so we can write K in terms of P. These are designated by Kp. Kc and Kp may or may not be the same.
Writing and Manipulating K Expressions K using concentration and pressure units Kp = Kc(RT)∆n For S(s) + O2(g) SO2(g) ∆n = 0 and Kp = Kc For SO2(g) + 1/2 O2(g) SO3(g) ∆n = –1/2 and Kp = Kc(RT)–1/2
EQUILIBRIUM AND EXTERNAL EFFECTS • Temperature, catalysts, and changes in concentration affect equilibria. • The outcome is governed by LE CHATELIER’S PRINCIPLE • “...if a system at equilibrium is disturbed, the system tends to shift its equilibrium position to counter the effect of the disturbance.”
EQUILIBRIUM AND EXTERNAL EFFECTS • Temperature change change in K • Consider the fizz in a soft drink CO2(aq) + HEATCO2(g) + H2O(liq) • K = P (CO2) / [CO2] • Increase T. What happens to equilibrium position? To value of K? • K increases as T goes up because P(CO2) increases and [CO2] decreases. • Decrease T. Now what? • Equilibrium shifts left and K decreases.
