A reversible chemical reaction has reached equilibrium at macroscopic level when:
the concentrations of the reactants and products dont change anymore
A reversible chemical reaction has reached equilibrium at molecular level when:
The rate of the formula rxn is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction
Reaction that never stops is in —
dynamic equilibrium
Equation for equilibrium
K = ( [C]^c [D]^d ) / ([A]^a [B]^b)
Equation for reaction quotient (Q)
Q = ( [C]^c [D]^d ) / ([A]^a [B]^b)
Calculate the equilibrium constant at a given T for the reaction 2 SO3(g) —-> 2 SO2(g)
+ O2(g), if at equilibrium [SO2] = 0.44 M; [O2] = 0.22 M; [SO3] = 0.11 M.
3.5 p.3
If K > 1
Products predominate -> forward reaction is favoured
If K < 1
Reactants predominate -> reverse reaction is favoured
If K = 1
Neither products or reactants are favoured
Equation for reversed reaction
Kforward = k^-1 reverse
When equations are added what happens to K
K is multiplied
In heterogeneous equilibria the concentration only depends on ?
density of pure solid or liquid
n heterogeneous equilibria the quantity of a solid or pure liquid affects K how?
Does not influence K
The partial pressure of a gas is proportional to its
Concentration
Relationship between Kp and Kc Equation
Kp = Kc (RT) ^(∆n)
R = 0.08206 L x atm/mol x K
∆n = ?
moles of gaseous products - moles of reactants
For equilibrium reactions, Keq increases with?
Increasing temperature
For equilibrium reactions, Keq decreases with?
Decreasing temperature
The reaction quotient (Q) predicts what
the direction of a chemical change
If Q=Keq
Reaction has reached equilibrium
If Q < Keq
Reaction proceeds to form more products
If Q > Keq
Reaction proceeds to form more reactants
Chateliers principle
any chnage to a chemical reaction at equilibrium causes the reaction to proceed in the direction that reduces the effect of the change
Types of change (3)
[reactant] or [product]
Pressure (by changing volume of reactor)
Temperature
