It’s all going to be oK!Or…
Why “K” is your new favourite letter.
Chemical Equilibrium

THE CONCEPT OF EQUILIBRIUM In principle, every chemical reaction is
reversible: Capable of moving in the forward or
backward direction. Some reactions are easily reversible…Some are not!
Ie) Making water: 2H2 + O2 2H2O Breaking it up: 2H2O 2H2 + O2

EQUILIBRIUM SYSTEMSWhat is Chemical Equilibrium? When the concentrations of all
reactants and products of a chemical reaction remain constant over time
Any chemical in a closed system will eventually reach chemical equilibrium
![Page 4: Chemical Equilibrium. In principle, every chemical reaction is reversible: Capable of moving in the forward or backward direction. Some reactions.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b447f8b9ab0599a2a5b/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
WHAT IS EQUILIBRIUM IN TERMS OF CHEMICAL KINETICS??
Remember Kinetics?
Equilibrium occurs when the RATE of the forward reaction is exactly equal to the RATE of the reverse reaction.
DYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM
![Page 5: Chemical Equilibrium. In principle, every chemical reaction is reversible: Capable of moving in the forward or backward direction. Some reactions.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b447f8b9ab0599a2a5b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
LET’S TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THE DECOMPOSITION OF DINITROGEN TETROXIDE
Let’s evaluate the reversible reaction:
•At room temperature, colourless N2O4 decomposes to brown NO2
-.
•At some time, the colour stops changing and we have a mixture of the two.
![Page 6: Chemical Equilibrium. In principle, every chemical reaction is reversible: Capable of moving in the forward or backward direction. Some reactions.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b447f8b9ab0599a2a5b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
THE EQUILIBRIUM CONDITION The point where the colour stops changing is
equilibrium. At equilibrium, as much N2O4 reacts to
form NO2- as NO2
- reacts to re-form N2O4 The double arrow implies the process is
dynamic.
Dynamic equilibrium occurs when the rate of formation of products is the same as the rate of re-formation of reactions.

DYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM has reactants and products that are in
constant motion. (i.e. – DYNAMIC) is reversible. can be reached from either direction.

THERE ARE THREE TYPES OF EQUILIBRIA; Phase equilibria
A dynamic equilibrium between different physical states of a pure substance in a closed system.
Such as when the rate of evaporation equals the rate of condensation.

THERE ARE THREE TYPES OF EQUILIBRIA; Solubility equilibria
A dynamic equilibrium between a solute and a solvent in a saturated solution in a closed system.
The rate of dissolving equals the rate of crystallization.
Both dissolved and undissolved solute must be present.

THERE ARE THREE TYPES OF EQUILIBRIA; Chemical equilibria
A dynamic equilibrium between reactants and products in a closed system.

THE EQUILIBRIUM PROCESS
In a quantitative reaction the reaction consumes all of the reactants and goes to completion.
In open systems the products are removed or escape and an equilibrium does not occur. A steady state can be
created if the supply of reactants is sufficient or replenished.

THE EQUILIBRIUM PROCESS
When a quantitative reaction is enclosed in a closed system the products build up and may begin to react in the reverse direction.
NH4Cl(s) f NH3(g) + HCl(g) The increased quantity of ammonia
and hydrogen chloride combine to produce ammonium chloride.

THE EQUILIBRIUM PROCESS In the closed system, a quantitative
reaction may produce a competition between the forward and reverse reaction.
This competition results in a chemical equilibrium.

THE EQUILIBRIUM PROCESS
As one observes the concentrations of the reactants and products in the closed system, one finds at equilibrium, the concentrations become stable.
This stability in concentrations defines the equilibrium state.
