Heterogeneous Equilibria: A homogenous reaction is one in which all the substances are in the same state. A heterogeneous reaction is one in which all the substances are not in the same state. CaCO 3 (s) CO 2 (g) + CaO (s) Calcium carbonate carbon dioxide lime.

Heterogeneous Equilibria: A homogenous reaction is one in which all the substances are in the same state. A heterogeneous reaction is one in which all the substances are not in the same state. CaCO3(s) CO2(g) + CaO(s) Calcium carbonate carbon dioxide lime When writing equilibrium constant expressions for Heterogeneous equilibria, you don’t include pure solids or pure liquids. Their concentrations don’t change Keq = [CO2 ][ CaO ]Keq = [CO2 ] [ CaCO3 ] Try writing an Keq expression for this reaction: 2H2O (l) 2H2(g) + O2(g)
Keq expression for this reaction: 2H2O (l) 2H2(g) + O2(g) K = [H2]2[O2] Keq expression for this reaction: CuSO4 . 5H2O (s)CuSO4 (s) + 5H2O (g) K = [H2O]5
La Chatelier's Principle This states that when a change is imposed on a system at equilibrium, the position of the equilibrium shifts in a direction that tends to reduce the effect of that change. CONCENTRATION: When a reactant or product is added to a system at equilibrium, the system shifts away from the added component. (moves in a direction that uses up the excess component) But if a reactant or product is removed, the system shifts toward the removed component.
N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g) Equilibrium concentrations [N2] = 0.399 M [H2] = 1.197 M [NH3] = 0.202 M What will happen if 1.000 mol L-1 N2 is added to equilibrium? New Equilibrium concentrations [N2] = 1.348 M [H2] = 1.044 M [NH3] = 0.304 M Position I: Position II:
VOLUME: When the volume of a gaseous system at equilibrium is decreased, the system shifts in the direction that gives the smaller number of gas molecules decreasing the volume of the following reaction will: CaCO3(s) CaO (s) + CO2(g) shifts the equilibrium to the left
N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g) shifts the equilibrium to the right PCl3(g) + 3NH3(g) P(NH2)3 (g) + 3HCl (g) has no effect on equilibrium position Take the equilibrium between 2NO2 (g) N2O4 (g) brown gas clear gas Which direction is favored by increasing the volume? The right!
TEMPERATURE: When heat is added to a system at equilibrium, the system shifts in a direction that uses up the excess heat, the exothermic reaction. A reaction that absorbs heat is endothermic, a reaction that produces heat is exothermic. N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g) + 92 kJ CaCO3(s) + 556 kJ CaO (s) + CO2(g)
REVIEW EXERCISE: N2O4(g) + energy 2NO2(g) Change: Addition of N2O4(g) Addition of NO2(g) Removal of N2O4(g) Removal of NO2(g) Decrease in container volume Increase in container volume Increase in temperature Decrease in temperature • Shift: • Right • Left • Left • Right • Left • Right • Right • Left
Using the Equilibrium Constant: What can the size of Keq tell you? Take the equilibrium A (g) B (g) If the value of Keq is one then the equilibrium concentrations of A and B are the same. A (g) B (g) If the value of Keq is less than one, then the reaction at equilibrium consists mainly of reactants - the equilibrium position is far to the left. A (g) B (g) If the value of Keq is much larger than one, the reaction system mainly consists of products - the equilibrium position is far to the right. A (g) B (g)
You can also use the equilibrium constant to find the concentrations of reactants and products. For example if you know the value of K and the concentration of all the reactants and products except one, we can calculate the missing concentration. Gaseous phosphorus pentachloride decomposes to chlorine gas and gaseous phosphorus trichloride. In a certain experiment, at a temperature where K = 8.96 10-2 , the equilibrium concentrations of PCl5 is 6.70 10-3 and PCl3 is 0.300 M. Calculate the concentration of Cl2 present at equilibrium. [Cl2] = 2.00 10-3 mol L-1
Solubility Equilibria Often there is an equilibrium between a dissolving solid and its aqueous solution. CaF2 (s) Ca 2+ (aq) + 2F -(aq) Ksp = [Ca 2+] [F -]2 Where Ksp is the solubility product constant, or simply the solubility product.
Calculating the solubility product: CuBr has a measured solubility of 2.0 10-4 at 25 C. Calculate the solids Ksp value CuBr (s) Cu + (aq) + Br -(aq) Ksp = [Cu +] [Br -] We know that 2.0 10-4 mol of solid CuBr dissolves per 1.0L of solution to come to equilibrium. CuBr (s) Cu + (aq) + Br -(aq) Ksp = [Cu +] [Br -] = (2.0 10-4 )(2.0 10-4) = 4.0 10-8
