chemical equilibrium
occurs when the forward and reverse reaction rates are equal
once equilibrium is achieved…
the concentration of products and reactants remain constant
do K constants have units?
no
K»1
rxn favors products/forward
K«1
rxn favors reactants/reverse
homogeneous equilibria
all reactants and products are in the same phase
heterogeneous equilibria
reactants and products are in different phases
are pure solids and liquids included in equilibrium expression?
no
reaction quotient, Q
identical to calculating K, but for current conditions
Q<K
rxn moving toward products
Q>K
rxn moving toward reactants
Q=K
reaction is at equilibrium
inc in concentration of reactants
shift to right
dec in concentrations of products
shift to left
inc in concentrations of products
shift to left
dec in concentration of products
shift to right
dec in volume=inc in pressure
shift to fewer moles
inc in volume=dec in pressure
shift to more moles

effect of catalyst on equilibrium shift
no shift
arrhenius acid
will increase [H+] when dissolved in water
