dynamic equilibrium
Closed system
- energy may be transferred but cannot leave/enter the system
types of equillibrium
- solubility
- phase
chemical reaction
solubility equilibrium
- conc. of dissolved solute is constant, the rate of dissolution and crystallization are equal
phase equillibrium
- two or more states of a pure substance in fymanic equilibrium (can only occur at melting/freezing point)
chemical equation equilibrium
- reactants and products are produced at the same rate, limits amount of products
when do you know you are at equilibrium
- system is closed
- all species are present
- the reaction is reversible
- no visible changes
- both forward and reverse reactions are occurring at microscopic level
- forward and reverse reaction rates are equal (rate f= rate r)
what is the equillibirum constant
-K
- dependent on temp
not dependant on conc.
what is the equilibrium law statement
Keq= (C)^c(D)^d/ (A)^a(B)^b
homogenous equillibria
all reactants and products are of the same matter
heterogeneous eqillibria
- present in at least two different states of matter
- if pure soilds or liquids are involved their conc. is not included in the law equation because their conc.s can not change in a sealed reaction vessel
the magnitude of equillibrium constant
-very large value indicates position towards the right
- at equilibrium the products will outweigh he reactants
k> 1- favours products
k=1- similar
k<1- favaours reactants
lechantleirs principle
when you apply stress the system will try to oppose it and relieve the stress
(ex if you add products it will produce more reacntants)
reaction quotient (Q)
value obtained by subsitutiong inital conc. into equilibrium expression
determining direction of reaction
Q>K: shift left beacuse too much products
Q=K: at equilibrium
Q<K: shift right because too much reactanrs
the 100 rule
(inital conc of reactants/k)>100
you can safely assume that the value of x is so small that it is negligible and wont make a different, drop the x in denominator
common ion effect
decrease in solubility which occurs when an ionic compound is dissolved in a solution that contains an ion in common with the solid
(consistent principle of le chatelier)
ice tables
- cells are filled with concentrations
trial product Q
if Q is greater than the soloubility product constant Ksp, a substance will precipitate
