Equilibrium is Dynamic a A + b B c C + d D Reactants produce products BUT products can also produce reactants. • Equilibrium occurs when [A], [B], [C] and [D] no longer change. • A dynamic equilibrium: • Rate of formation = rate of removal CH3COOH + H2O CH3COO- + H3O+ 14 14
Equilibrium is Independent of Direction of Approach N2(g) + 3 H2(g) 2 NH3(g) start with eitheror 2 mol NH3 1 mol N2 + 3 mol H2 and get the same equilibrium mixture. (@ given T)
Equilibrium and Catalysts Catalystsdo not affect equilibrium concentrations. A catalyst • speeds up a forward reaction… • …but also speeds up the reverse reaction. • decreases the time needed to reach equilibrium but does not improve yield.

What is the partial pressure of CO2 in the mixture? [CO]eq=0.038, [CO2]eq=0.012, PCO2=0.68atm, Ptotal = 5.7atm
Example Consider the following equilibrium: CO (g) + 3 H2(g) CH4(g) + H2O (g) A 1.00 L of a gaseous mixture contained 0.300 mol CO, 0.100 mol H2, 0.0200 mol H2O, and an unknown amount of CH4 at equilibrium. What is the concentration of CH4 in this mixture? Kc = 3.92.
Example Consider the following equilibrium: • Suppose you start with 1.000 mol each of carbon monoxide and water in a 50.0 L container. Calculate the molarity of each substance in the equilibrium mixture at 1000 oC. • Kc for the reaction is 0.580 at 1000 oC.
Meaning of the Equilibrium Constant When: • Kc >> 1Reaction is strongly product favored. • very little reactant remains • often written as a forward reaction only. • assume reaction goes to completion. • Kc << 1Reaction is strongly reactant favored. • very little product forms • usually written as “no reaction” or NR • Kc≈ 1Reactants & products present at equilibrium. • use equilibrium methods discussed here.
For the reaction: aA + bB cC + dD [C]c [D]d [A]a [B]b Q = Predicting the Direction of a Reaction The reaction quotient, Qcan be used to predict the direction of a reaction: Q looks identical to Kc, BUT… the concentrations are not equilibrium values. (Kc= Q whenever a system is at equilibrium)
[Products] [Reactants] [Products]equilib [Reactants]equilib Q = Kc= Predicting the Direction of a Reaction Reactants Products Kc is a constant (only changes if T changes). • If Q < Kc, Q must increase to reach equilibrium. • make more product (and less reactant). • move forward. • If Q > Kc, Q must decrease to reach equilibrium. • make less product (and more reactant). • move back.

Le Chatelier’s Principle “If a system is at equilibrium and the conditions are changed so that it is no longer at equilibrium, the system will react to reach a new equilibrium in a way that partially counteracts the change.” • A system at equilibrium resists change. • If “pushed”, it “pushes back”
“reactants” “products” Removing Products or Adding Reactants If we remove products(analogous to removing water out of the right side of the tube) the reaction would shift to the rightuntil equilibrium was reestablished.
