For the following equilibrium reactions:

H2(g) + CO2(g) H2O(g) + CO(g); DH = 40 kJ

Predict the equilibrium shift if:

a) The temperature is increased

b) The pressure is decreased

Changes in pressureIn general, increasing the pressure by decreasing

volume shifts equilibria towards the side that has the smaller number of moles of gas.

Equilibrium Systems

product-favored if K > 1

exothermic reactions favor products

increasing entropy in system favors products

at low temperature, product-favored reactions are usually exothermic

at high temperatures, product-favored reactions usually have increase in entropy

Equilibrium Reaction Rates

reactions occur faster in gaseous phase than solids and liquids

reactions rates increase as temperature increases

reactions rates increase as concentration increases

rates increase as particle size decreases

rates increase with a catalyst

Ammonia Synthesis

reaction is slow at room temperature, raising

temperature, increases rate but lowers yield

increasing pressure shifts equilibrium to

products

liquefying ammonia shifts equilibrium to

products

use of catalyst increases rate

Decrease in Concentration or Partial Pressure

for N2(g) + 3 H2(g) 2 NH3(g) ; DH = -

likewise, a decrease in NH3 concentration or pressure will cause more NH3 to be produced

14-81CHEM 102, Fall 2011, LA TECH

Changes in Temperaturefor N2(g) + 3 H2(g) 2 NH3(g) ; DH = -

for an exothermic reaction, an increase in temperature will cause the reaction to shift back towards reactants and vice versa.

14-82CHEM 102, Fall 2011, LA TECH

Volume Changefor N2(g) + 3 H2(g) 2 NH3(g) ; DH = -

an increase in volume, causes the equilibrium to shift to the left where there are more gaseous molecules

a decrease in volume, causes the equilibrium to shift to the right where there are fewer gaseous molecules
