If Kc is much less than one it favors
reactants
If Kc favors reactants
equilibrium shift to the left
Q>K
products>reactants, reactant favored, shift left
Q<K
reactants>products, product favored, shift right
When a reaction is product favored the shift will cause
concentration of products to increase and reactants to decrease
Homogeneous equilibrium
in the same phase, excludes concentration of pure solids and liquids
Heterogeneous equilibrium
not in the same phase, excludes concentration of pure solids and liquids
In a reactant favored reaction, the rate of the forward
is slower than rate of reverse
A reaction will proceed forward
when Q<K, reactants converted to products
A reaction will proceed in the reverse
when Q>K, products converted to reactants
K»1
product favored
K«1
reactants favored
If Q<K gibbs free energy
is negative regardless of gibbs under standard conditions
What causes a change in Gibbs free energy to shift with equilbrium?
A concentration-gradient reflected in the fact that the change in entropy under non-standard conditions is not the change in entropy under standard conditions–remember the natural tendency to disperse evenly throughout a system
Change in instantaneous gibbs free energy that is positive
Q>K
Negative change in instantaneous gibbs free energy
reaction is not at equilibrium
When standard conditions are restored from equilibrium, the value of Q progressively decreases. This must mean that we have
standard change in gibbs free energy that is negative
Reversible reactions do not
go to completion
At equilibrium
no net change in concentration, rate forward = rate reverse, these reactions do not stop
A reaction will essentially go to completion if
K > 10^10
A reaction will essentially not occur if
K < 10^-10
What are not included in equilibrium constant expressions
solids and liquid
Kc does not depend on
initial concentrations
Kc changes when
temperature changes, directly related
