This article explains the concept of equilibrium in homogeneous and heterogeneous phase chemical reactions. It explores the factors affecting equilibrium, such as solubility product constant and solubility ratios. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the concepts discussed.
E N D
Homogeneous phase chemical reaction Always can reach equilibrium Never the reaction is 100% complete
Heterogeneous phase chemical reaction Different K for different nB ?? Need more B to reach equilibrium
dissolution: precipitation: pure solid, activity =1 Solubility product constant:
(or molar solubility), S, is the salt molar concentration in a saturated solution
In general, we should not directly compare Kps to estimate solubility ratios! solubility: KPs:
Numerical example: In NaCl 0,1 M solution In pure water 10000 times smaller!
By means of balances … while in pure water: s2=KPs → s= 1.3 10-5 M
Convention: we say that the precipitation of an ion is complete when its concentration is reduced one thousand times.
