Forward and reverse reactions • Both the forward and reverse reactions have a reaction rate. • Chemical equilibrium is reached when the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal.
Le Chatelier’s Principle • We can disrupt a reaction’s equilibrium by changing parts of the reaction or the conditions of the reaction. (change temperature, add reactants, add products, etc.) • When we do this, the reaction has to make up for the difference, so it “shifts” the equilibrium to make up for the change.
Examples • For the following equations, predict the direction that the equilibrium will shift based on the change made to the reactants and products. • CH4 + 2O2 CO2 + H2O • Add CH4 – • Remove O2 – • Remove CO2 – • Add H2O –
Effect of changing temperature N2 + 3H2 2NH3 + 92 kJ • Exothermic reactions (heat is a product)
Endothermic reactions: heat is a reactant CaCO3 + 556 kJ CaO + CO2
Review • For the following equation, decide which direction the EQ will shift based on the change made. N2O4 + heat 2NO2 add N2O4 = add NO2 = decrease temp =
Change in Pressure • Changes in pressure only affect gases (g) • Remember from EL 7 that pressure and volume are inversely related, so they are opposites.
Examples P4(s) + 6Cl2(g) 4PCl3(l) add P4 = remove PCl3 = increase pressure = increase volume = add Cl2 =
4NH3(g) + 5 O2 (g) 4NO(g) + 6H2O (g) remove NH3 = increase volume = increase pressure = add O2 = add NO = remove H2O =
