  2. v1 C+D A+B v-1 Chemical equilibria Reaction rate (v): Amount of product formed per unit time (mol/s, M/s). Rate law: For elementary (single-step) reactions the reaction rate is proportional to the concentrations of each reactant. v1=k1.|A|.|B| k1, k-1: reaction rate constants (M-1s-1) v-1=k-1.|C|.|D| |X|: instantaneous concentration (M)

  3. v1 C+D A+B v-1 Chemical equilibria At equilibrium the forward and the reverse rates are equal.

  4. v1 C+D A+B v-1 v1=v-1 k1.[A].[B]=k-1.[C].[D] [X]: equilibrium concentration (M) k1 k-1 [C].[D] [A].[B] K = = equilibrium constant Chemical equilibria At equilibrium the forward and the reverse rates are equal.

  5. C* A+B 2D [C*] [A].[B] [D].[D] [C*] K2 = K1 = [C*] [A].[B] [D]2 [C*] . "Law of Mass Action" K = K1. K2 = [D]2 [A].[B] K = overall equilibrium constant Chemical equilibria All chemical reactions can be broken down into a set of elementary steps. Equilibrium is achieved when all steps are at equilibrium:

  6. C+D A+B |C|.|D| |A|.|B| Q = reaction quotient Chemical equilibria Predicting the direction of a reaction: Q<K  reaction goes forward Q=K  reaction is at equilibrium Q>K  reaction goes backward

  7. C+D A+B I. Adding/removing reactants/products |C|.|D| |A|.|B| Q = = K 1. Initial state (equilibrium): |C|*.|D| |A|.|B| 3. Q = < K (|C|*+x).(|D|+x) (|A|-x).(|B|-x) Q = = K 4. Final state (new equilibrium): Le Chatelier principle When a system at equilibrium is perturbed, it will reach a new equilibrium by counteracting the perturbation. 2. Perturbation: remove product: |C||C|* (|C|*<|C|)  reaction goes forward

  8. C+D A+B I. Adding/removing reactants/products |C|.|D| |A|.|B| Q = = K 1. Initial state (equilibrium): |C|.|D| |A|*.|B| 3. Q = < K (|C|+x).(|D|+x) (|A|*-x).(|B|-x) Q = = K 4. Final state (new equilibrium): Le Chatelier principle When a system at equilibrium is perturbed, it will reach a new equilibrium by counteracting the perturbation. 2. Perturbation: add reactant: |A||A|* (|A|*>|A|)  reaction goes forward

  9. C+D A+B I. Adding/removing reactants/products |C|.|D| |A|.|B| Q = = K 1. Initial state (equilibrium): |C|*.|D| |A|.|B| 3. Q = > K (|C|*-x).(|D|-x) (|A|+x).(|B|+x) Q = = K 4. Final state (new equilibrium): Le Chatelier principle When a system at equilibrium is perturbed, it will reach a new equilibrium by counteracting the perturbation. 2. Perturbation: add product: |C||C|* (|C|*>|C|)  reaction goes backward

Final state (new eq.): Q = = K Le Chatelier principle When a system at equilibrium is perturbed, it will reach a new equilibrium by counteracting the perturbation. II. Effect of dilution 2. Perturbation: increase volume by 2x: |X||X|/2  reaction goes forward

  11. C+D A |C|.|D| |A| Q = = K 1. Initial state (equilibrium): (2|C|).(2|D|) 2|A| 3. Q = = 2K > K (2|C|-x).(2|D|-x) 2|A|+x 4. Final state (new eq.): Q = = K Le Chatelier principle When a system at equilibrium is perturbed, it will reach a new equilibrium by counteracting the perturbation. II. Effect of pressure on gaseous reactions 2. Perturbation: increase pressure by 2x  volume decreases by 2x (p.V=const.):|X|2|X|  reaction goes backward
