CHEM 1011 Experiment 17: The Law of Chemical Equilibrium and the Le Chatelier Principle
Objectives • To study chemical equilibria. • To investigate the effects of (1) changing concentrations and (2) changing temperature in equilibrium reactions.
Introduction • Equilibrium: the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction.
Introduction • Le Chatelier Principle: If an external stress is applied to a system in equilibrium, the system reacts in such a way as to partially relieve the stress.
Introduction • Concentration: Removing or adding reactants can shift equilibrium to the left or right. • Common Ion Effect. • Spectator ions may influence equilibrium.
Introduction • Temperature: heat can act as a product or reactant. • In endothermic reactions, heat can be considered a reactant and equilibrium will shift to the right. • In exothermic reactions, heat can be considered a product and equilibrium will shift to the left.
