During a game, players enter and leave...
But there are always the
same number of players on
field.

Equilibrium Remember: We’ve already used the phrase
“equilibrium” when talking about rxns.
In principle, every chemical reaction is reversible ... capable of moving in the forward or backward direction.
2 H2 + O2 2 H2O
Some reactions are easily reversible ...Some not so easy ...

The Concept of Equilibrium
- Consider colorless frozen N2O4. At room temperature, it decomposes to brown NO2:
N2O4(g) 2NO2(g).
At some time, the color stops changing and we have a MIXTURE of N2O4 and NO2.
Chemical equilibrium is the point at which the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate
of the reverse reaction. At that point, the concentrations of all species
are constant.
![Page 6: Chemical Equilibrium A Balancing Act. During a game, players enter and leave... But there are always the same number of players on field.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649c7b5503460f9492fa23/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• Using the collision model: – as the amount of NO2
builds up, there is a chance that two NO2 molecules will collide to form N2O4.
– At the beginning of the reaction, there is no NO2 so the reverse reaction (2NO2(g) N2O4(g)) does not occur.

The Concept of Equilibrium• As the substance warms it begins to decompose:
N2O4(g) 2NO2(g)
• When enough NO2 is formed, it can react to form N2O4:
2NO2(g) N2O4(g)
At equilibrium, as much N2O4 reacts to form NO2 as NO2 reacts to re-form N2O4
• The double arrow implies the process is dynamic.N2O4(g) 2NO2(g)

The Concept of Equilibrium
As the reaction progresses– [A] decreases to a constant,– [B] increases from zero to a constant.– When [A] and [B] are constant, equilibrium is
achieved.

Equilibrium CONSTANTFor a general reaction
the equilibrium constant expression is
where Kc is the equilibrium constant
(or Kp if they are all gases)
But we can use abbreviation K for all equilibrium constant … for now

The Equilibrium ConstantHeterogeneous Equilibria• When all reactants and products are in one phase, the
equilibrium is homogeneous.• If one or more reactants or products are in a different
phase, the equilibrium is heterogeneous.• Consider:
– experimentally, the amount of CO2 does not seem to depend on the amounts of CaO and CaCO3. Why?
*Ignore (s) & (l) from equilibrium expression
CaCO3(s) CaO(s) + CO2(g)

Calculate the value of Keq if
[N2] = 0.20 mol/L,
[O2] = 0.15 mol/L, and
[NO] = 0.0035 mol/L.
What does the value of K tell you about the equilibrium?

Calculating Equilibrium Constants
• Steps to Solving Problems:1. Write an equilibrium expression for the balanced
reaction.2. Write an “ICE table”. Fill in the given amounts.3. Use stoichiometry (mole ratios) on the change in
concentration line.4. Deduce the equilibrium concentrations of all
species.
Usually, the initial concentration of products is zero. (But of course this is not always the case.)
![Page 22: Chemical Equilibrium A Balancing Act. During a game, players enter and leave... But there are always the same number of players on field.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649c7b5503460f9492fa23/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Equilibrium example 1:The equilibrium constant is 7.6X10-16 for the rxn of decomposition of water. Write the balanced equation for the process. Suppose you start with initial concentration of water 1.27 M. Calculate the concentrations of all other species at equilibrium.
![Page 23: Chemical Equilibrium A Balancing Act. During a game, players enter and leave... But there are always the same number of players on field.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649c7b5503460f9492fa23/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Equilibrium example 2: The equilibrium constant for a reaction between nitrogen and oxygen gas to produce nitrogen monoxide is 4.8X10-31. Write the balanced equation. Initial pressure of N2 is 0.675 and the initial pressure of O2 is 0.472. Calculate the pressures for all species at equilibrium.

Equilibrium Example 3: The equilibrium constant is 3.2 X 10-34 for a reaction of decomposition of HCl into hydrogen and chlorine gas.Suppose you start with 0.375 M solution of HCl. Find equilibrium concentrations of all species.

Equilibrium example 4:The Kc for reaction for formation of ammonia is 4.51X10-5. If we start with 1 atm of N2 and 1.4 atm of H2, find the equilibrium pressures.

Applications of Equilibrium Constants
Predicting the Direction of Reaction• We define Q, the reaction quotient, for a reaction at
conditions NOT at equilibrium
as
where [A], [B], [P], and [Q] are molarities at any time.
Q = K only at equilibrium
aA + bB(g) pP + qQ

Applications of Equilibrium Constants
Predicting the Direction of Reaction• If Q > K then the reverse reaction must occur to
reach equilibrium (go left)• If Q < K then the forward reaction must occur
to reach equilibrium (go right)

Le Chatelier’s Principle: if you disturb an equilibrium, it will shift to undo the disturbance.
Remember, in a system at equilibrium, come what may, the concentrations will always arrange themselves to multiply and divide in the Keq equation to give the same number (at constant temperature).
Le Châelier’s Principle
![Page 29: Chemical Equilibrium A Balancing Act. During a game, players enter and leave... But there are always the same number of players on field.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649c7b5503460f9492fa23/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Change in Reactant or Product Concentrations• Adding a reactant or product shifts the equilibrium
away from the increase.• Removing a reactant or product shifts the equilibrium
towards the decrease.• To optimize the amount of product at equilibrium, we
need to flood the reaction vessel with reactant and continuously remove product (Le Châtelier).
• We illustrate the concept with the industrial preparation of ammonia
N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g)
![Page 30: Chemical Equilibrium A Balancing Act. During a game, players enter and leave... But there are always the same number of players on field.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649c7b5503460f9492fa23/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30
Change in Reactant or Product Concentrations• Consider the Haber process
• If H2 is added while the system is at equilibrium, the system must respond to counteract the added H2 (by Le Châtelier).
• That is, the system must consume the H2 and produce products until a new equilibrium is established.
• Therefore, [H2] and [N2] will decrease and [NH3] increases.
N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g)
![Page 31: Chemical Equilibrium A Balancing Act. During a game, players enter and leave... But there are always the same number of players on field.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649c7b5503460f9492fa23/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
Change in Reactant or Product Concentrations• The unreacted nitrogen and hydrogen are recycled with
the new N2 and H2 feed gas.• The equilibrium amount of ammonia is optimized
because the product (NH3) is continually removed and the reactants (N2 and H2) are continually being added.
Effects of Volume and Pressure• As volume is decreased pressure increases.• Le Châtelier’s Principle: if pressure is increased the
system will shift to counteract the increase.
![Page 32: Chemical Equilibrium A Balancing Act. During a game, players enter and leave... But there are always the same number of players on field.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649c7b5503460f9492fa23/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
• Consider the production of ammonia
• As the pressure increases, the amount of ammonia present at equilibrium increases.
• As the temperature decreases, the amount of ammonia at equilibrium increases.
• Le Châtelier’s Principle: if a system at equilibrium is disturbed, the system will move in such a way as to counteract the disturbance.

Example
![Page 37: Chemical Equilibrium A Balancing Act. During a game, players enter and leave... But there are always the same number of players on field.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649c7b5503460f9492fa23/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
37
Effects of Volume and Pressure• The system shifts to remove gases and decrease
pressure.• An increase in pressure favors the direction that has
fewer moles of gas.• In a reaction with the same number of product and
reactant moles of gas, pressure has no effect.• Consider
N2O4(g) 2NO2(g)
![Page 38: Chemical Equilibrium A Balancing Act. During a game, players enter and leave... But there are always the same number of players on field.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649c7b5503460f9492fa23/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
38
Effects of Volume and Pressure• An increase in pressure (by decreasing the volume)
favors the formation of colorless N2O4.• The instant the pressure increases, the system is not at
equilibrium and the concentration of both gases has increased.
• The system moves to reduce the number moles of gas (i.e. the forward reaction is favored).
• A new equilibrium is established in which the mixture is lighter because colorless N2O4 is favored.
![Page 39: Chemical Equilibrium A Balancing Act. During a game, players enter and leave... But there are always the same number of players on field.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649c7b5503460f9492fa23/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
39
Effect of Temperature Changes• The equilibrium constant is temperature dependent.• For an endothermic reaction, H > 0 and heat can be
considered as a reactant.• For an exothermic reaction, H < 0 and heat can be
considered as a product.• Adding heat (i.e. heating the vessel) favors away from
the increase:– if H > 0, adding heat favors the forward reaction,– if H < 0, adding heat favors the reverse reaction.
![Page 40: Chemical Equilibrium A Balancing Act. During a game, players enter and leave... But there are always the same number of players on field.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649c7b5503460f9492fa23/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
40
Effect of Temperature Changes• Removing heat (i.e. cooling the vessel), favors towards
the decrease:– if H > 0, cooling favors the reverse reaction,– if H < 0, cooling favors the forward reaction.
