Kinetics applies to the speed of a reaction, the concentration of product that appears (or of reactant that disappears) per unit time. Equilibrium applies to the extent of a reaction, the concentration of product that has appeared after an unlimited time, or once no further change occurs. At equilibrium: rateforward= ratereverse A system at equilibrium is dynamic on the molecular level; no further net change is observed because changes in one direction are balanced by changes in the other.
CHEMICAL EQUILIBRIUM - RATES OF REACTION kF Reactants products kB Chemical reactions are a dynamic process, that is, reactions involve both forward and reverse processes. Chemical Equilibrium is reached by as reaction mixture when the rates of forward and reverse reactions becomes equal. kF = kB NO net change appears obvious although the system is still in constant motion.
Rate Forward Rate Reverse Reaction Dynamics Initially, only the forward reaction takes place. As the forward reaction proceeds it makes products and uses reactants. Because the reactant concentration decreases, the forward reaction slows. As the products accumulate, the reverse reaction speeds up. Once equilibrium is established, the forward and reverse reactions proceed at the same rate, so the concentrations of all materials stay constant. Eventually, the reaction proceeds in the reverse direction as fast as it proceeds in the forward direction. At this time equilibrium is established. Rate Time

[C]c[D]d Q = [A]a[B]b Q - The Reaction Quotient At any time, t, the system can be sampled to determine the amounts of reactants and products present. A ratio of products to reactants, calculated in the same manner as K tells us whether the system has come to equilibrium (Q = K) or whether the reaction has to proceed further from reactants to products (Q < K) or in the reverse direction from products to reactants (Q > K). We use the molar concentrations of the substances in the reaction. This is symbolized by using square brackets - [ ]. For a general reaction aA + bB cC + dD where a, b, c, and d are the numerical coefficients in the balanced equation, Q (and K) can be calculated as

APPLICATION OF Keq 1. Predicting the direction of reaction Q = reaction quotient at equil Q = K Q > K species on Rt (prod) (no net Rx) react to form left K = [Equil] Q = [Non Equil] Q < K forms more products Goal: Calculate Q to determine state of Rx, equil, more product or more reaction
Finding Equilibrium Concentrations When Given the Equilibrium Constant and Initial Concentrations or Pressures • first decide which direction the reaction will proceed • compare Q to K • define the changes of all materials in terms of x • use the coefficient from the chemical equation for the coefficient of x • the x change is + for materials on the side the reaction is proceeding toward • the x change is for materials on the side the reaction is proceeding away from • solve for x • for 2nd order equations, take square roots of both sides or use the quadratic formula • may be able to simplify and approximate answer for very large or small equilibrium constants

LE CHATELIER’S PRINICIPLE “If a system at equilibrium is disturbed by a change in temperature, pressure, or concentration of one of its components, that system will shift it’s equilibrium position as to ‘counteract’ the effect of the disturbance.” Equilibrium can be disturbed by: - adding or removing components - a change in pressure - a change in volume - a change in temperature
PREDICTING THE DIRECTION OF THE SHIFT I. CATALYST A catalyst increases the rate at which equilibrium is achieved but not the composition of the equilibrium mixture. II. THE REACTION QUOTIENT Q < K: the reaction shifts to the products Q > K: the reaction shifts to the reactants III. CHANGES IN VOLUME Reducing the volume of a gas at equilibrium causes the system to shift in the direction that reduces the number of moles of gas.
+ lower P (higher V) more moles of gas higher P (lower V) fewer moles of gas The effect of pressure (volume) on an equilibrium system.
When the pressure is decreased by increasing the volume, the position of equilibrium shifts toward the side with the greater number of molecules – the reactant side. Since there are more gas molecules on the reactants side of the reaction, when the pressure is increased the position of equilibrium shifts toward the products. The Effect of Volume Changes on Equilibrium
PROBLEM: How would you change the volume of each of the following reactions to increase the yield of the products. (a) CaCO3(s) CaO(s) + CO2(g) (b) S(s) + 3F2(g) SF6(g) (c) Cl2(g) + I2(g) 2ICl(g) PLAN: When gases are present a change in volume will affect the concentration of the gas. If the volume decreases (pressure increases), the reaction will shift to fewer moles of gas and vice versa. Sample Problem Predicting the Effect of a Change in Volume (Pressure) on the Equilibrium Position SOLUTION: (a) CO2 is the only gas present. To increase its yield, we should increase the volume (decrease the pressure). (b) There are more moles of gaseous reactants than products, so we should decrease the volume (increase the pressure) to shift the reaction to the right. (c) There are an equal number of moles of gases on both sides of the reaction, therefore a change in volume will have no effect.
IV. CHANGES IN TEMPERATURE When heat is added to a system, the equilibrium shifts in the direction that absorbs heat. Cooling has the opposite effect and shifts the equilibrium towards the side which produces heat. Endothermic Reactions: heat + Reactants Products An increase in temperature leads to a shift towards the products, a decrease leads to a shift towards the reactants. (Keq increases) Exothermic Reactions: Reactants Products + heat An increase in temperature leads to a shift towards reactants. (Keq decreases)
PROBLEM: How does an increase in temperature affect the concentration of the underlined substance and Kc for the following reactions? (a) CaO(s) + H2O(l) Ca(OH)2(aq) DH0 = -82kJ (b) CaCO3(s) CaO(s) + CO2(g) DH0 = 178kJ (c) SO2(g) S(s) + O2(g) DH0 = 297kJ PLAN: Express the heat of reaction as a reactant or a product. Then consider the increase in temperature and its effect on Kc. (a) CaO(s) + H2O(l) Ca(OH)2(aq) heat (b) CaCO3(s) + heat CaO(s) + CO2(g) (c) SO2(g) + heat S(s) + O2(g) Sample Problem Predicting the Effect of a Change in Temperature on the Equilibrium Position SOLUTION: An increase in temperature will shift the reaction to the left, decrease [Ca(OH)2], and decrease Kc. The reaction will shift right resulting in an increase in [CO2] and increase in Kc. The reaction will shift right resulting in an decrease in [SO2] and increase in Kc.

Example 1: N2O4(g) 2 NO2(g) H = 58 kJ In which direction will the equilibrium shift when each of the following changes are made to a system at equilibrium? A) add N2O4 B) remove NO2 C) increase the total pressure by adding N2 D) increase the volume of the container E) decrease the temperature
Answer: N2O4 2NO2 A) The system will adjust so to decrease [N2O4] shifts to products B) Shifts to products (NO2 removed) C) N2 will increase total pressure but since it is not involved in Rx the partial pressures of N2O4 and NO2 are unchanged, no shift. D) volume shifts to more moles of gas E) Temp - Rx is endo heat + N2O4 2 NO2 Temp shifts so more heat produced K is affected
