Content Section 4 Physical Chemistry • Acids, alkalis and salts • Energetics • Rates of reaction • Equilibria
Lesson 4 d) Equilibria d) Equilibria 4.22 understand that some reactions are reversible and are indicated by the symbol ⇌ in equations 4.23 describe reversible reactions such as the dehydration of hydrated copper(II) sulphate and the effect of heat on ammonium chloride 4.24 understand the concept of dynamic equilibrium 4.25 predict the effects of changing the pressure and temperature on the equilibrium position in reversible reactions.
Reversible Reactions OK, let’s introduce you to a new symbol and concept.
Reversible Reactions This is the symbol for a reversible reaction
Reversible Reactions A reversible reaction is one which can go in both directions.
Reversible Reactions This means that in a chemical reaction the products of the reaction can be turned back into the original reactants.
Reversible Reactions For example: A + B C + D
Reversible Reactions For example: A + B C + D A and B react to produce C and D, but also C and D can react to produce A and B.
Reversible Reactions Let’s look at an example
Reversible Reactions Heating blue copper sulphate Water vapour Heat
Reversible Reactions Heating blue copper sulphate Water vapour White anhydrous copper sulphate Heat
Reversible Reactions Add a few drops of water Blue hydrated copper sulphate White anhydrous copper sulphate
Reversible Reactions CuSO4.5H2O CuSO4 + 5H2O Add a few drops of water Blue hydrated copper sulphate White anhydrous copper sulphate
Reversible Reactions Let’s look at another example – favourite one in the exams!
Reversible Reactions Let’s look at another example – favourite one in the exams! The Thermal Decomposition of ammonium chloride, NH4Cl
Reversible Reactions NH4Cl NH3 + HCl Water in and out Solid ammonium chloride Ammonia and HCl gases Heat Solid ammonium chloride
Reversible Reactions NH4Cl NH3 + HCl 1. When heated. Ammonium chloride splits up into ammonia gas and hydrogen chloride gas. Water in and out Solid ammonium chloride Ammonia and HCl gases Heat Solid ammonium chloride
Reversible Reactions NH4Cl NH3 + HCl • When heated. Ammonium chloride splits up into ammonia gas and hydrogen chloride gas. • As these gases cool on the bottom of the flask, they recombine to form solid ammonium chloride again. Water in and out Solid ammonium chloride Ammonia and HCl gases Heat Solid ammonium chloride
Reversible Reactions NH4Cl NH3 + HCl • When heated. Ammonium chloride splits up into ammonia gas and hydrogen chloride gas. • As these gases cool on the bottom of the flask, they recombine to form solid ammonium chloride again. • This is a good example of a reversible reaction because the products recombine to easily form the original reactants. Water in and out Solid ammonium chloride Ammonia and HCl gases Heat Solid ammonium chloride
Reversible Reactions and Closed Systems Try to imagine a closed system where no more reactants are added, and no products are removed.
Reversible Reactions and Closed Systems A + B C + D A and B will be combining to form C and D, while at the same time C and D will be combining to form A + B.
Reversible Reactions and Closed Systems A + B C + D A point will eventually be reached when the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the backward reaction.
Reversible Reactions and Closed Systems A + B C + D This point is know as the DYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM
Reversible Reactions and Closed Systems Temperature and equilibria If the forward reaction (i.e. going from left to right) is ENDOTHERMIC and heat energy is taken in …….. A + B C + D
Reversible Reactions and Closed Systems Temperature and equilibria If the forward reaction (i.e. going from left to right) is ENDOTHERMIC and heat energy is taken in …….. A + B C + D Then if the temperature is increased.
