“Systems”: two reactions that differ only in direction • Any reversible reaction H2 + I2↔ 2HI noted by the double arrow; ↔
TWO REACTIONS • only difference is the Direction H2 + I2↔ 2HI reactants products 2HI ↔ H2 + I2 Left Right
Reversible Reactions H2 + I2 ↔ 2HI • the products may react back to original reactants. • “closed system”: ONLY if all reactant are present • If one piece is completely gone it has ”gone to competition” and no longer reversible
Examples: Reversible Reactions. • Unopened Soda • Breathing • Rechargeable batteries • Color changing shirt
Equilibrium • The state in which a chemical reaction and its reverse reaction occur at the same rate.
Properties of an Equilibrium Equilibrium systems are • DYNAMIC (in constant motion) • REVERSIBLE • can be approached from either direction Pink to blue Co(H2O)6Cl2 ---> Co(H2O)4Cl2 + 2 H2O Blue to pink Co(H2O)4Cl2+ 2 H2O ---> Co(H2O)6Cl2
Equilibrium Rates = 0 No change in the amounts
Equilibrium achieved Reversible Reactions Product conc. increases and then becomes constant at equilibrium Reactant conc. declines and then becomes constant at equilibrium
Chemical Equilibrium Fe3+ + SCN-aFeSCN2+ At Equilibrium: RATES ARE EQUAL • the concentrations of reactants and products are constant. D [ ]’s = 0 • The forward and reverse reactions continue after equilibrium is attained.
Reaction Quotient At anypointin the reaction H2 + I2 --->2 HI
The Reacton Quotient, Q In general, all reacting chemical systems are characterized by their REACTION QUOTIENT, Q. When the system is at equilibrium, Q = K
Equilibrium achieved Equilibrium Constant In the equilibrium region
THE EQUILIBRIUM CONSTANT For any type of chemical equilibrium of the type aA + bB--->cC + dD the following is a CONSTANT (at a given T) If K is known, then we can predict concs. of products or reactants.
Writing and Manipulating K Expressions Solids NEVER appear in equilibrium expressions. S(s) + O2(g) ---> SO2(g)
Writing and Manipulating K Expressions Liquids NEVER appear in equilibrium expressions. NH3(aq) + H2O(liq) ---> NH4+(aq) + OH-(aq)
Product- or Reactant Favored Product-favored Reactant-favored
For: N2(g) + 3 H2(g) ---> 2 NH3(g) Using K: Is the reaction product-favored or reactant-favored? When K is much greater than 1 the reaction is strongly product-favored.
For AgCl(s) g Ag+(aq) + Cl-(aq) Kc = [Ag+] [Cl-] = 1.8 x 10-5 If K is much less than 1 The reaction is strongly reactant-favored. Ag+(aq) + Cl-(aq) gAgCl(s) is product-favored.
Using K: Can determine if the reaction is at equilibrium.
If [iso] = 0.35 M and [n] = 0.15 M, are you at equilibrium? If not, which way does the reaction “shift” to approach equilibrium?
REACTION QUOTIENT, Q Characterize all chemical systems If Q = K, then system is at equilibrium. Q (2.33) < K (2.5) Reaction is NOT at equilibrium, [iso] must ________ and [n] must ____________.
