and Where is partial pressure of carbon dioxide. Types: Equilibrium Heterogeneous equilibria:
Prediction of direction of reaction – reaction quotient When, Qc > Kc — (Backward reaction will occur, the reaction will proceed in direction of reactants) When, Qc < Kc — (Forward reaction will occur, the reaction will proceed in direction of products) When, Qc = Kc — The reaction will be in equilibrium
Characteristics of Equilibrium constant (K) • Its value is independent of original concentration of reactants, pressure or presence of a catalyst. • It is independent of the direction from which equilibrium is attained. • Its value is constant at certain temperature and would change with temperature. • The larger the value of ‘K’, greater will be the value of products as compared to reactants. • Its value, however, depends on the coefficients of balanced reactants and products in the chemical equation.
Calculation of Equilibrium concentration Considering the equilibrium Let the reaction starts with ‘a’ moles of H2 and ‘b’ moles of I2 taken in a container of volume V litres. ‘x’ moles of H2 have reacted when the equilibrium is attained, then ‘x’ moles of I2 will also react and 2x moles of HI are produced at T K temperature.
Calculation of Equilibrium concentration Initial moles 1 1 0 Moles at eqm a – x b – x 2x
Calculation of Equilibrium concentration Suppose the total pressure at equilibrium is ‘P’ atm. and total moles at equilibrium = a – x + b – x + 2x = a + b
Calculation of Equilibrium concentration 1. KP = KC. 2. No volume or pressure term is involved in the expression for KP or KC. 3. Pressure has no effect on the state of equilibrium.
Reactions in which Suppose initially one mole of PCl5 is present in a vessel of V litres and x moles of PCl5 dissociates at equilibrium at T K temperature. As per stoichiometry of the reaction, ‘x’ moles of PCl5 dissociates to give ‘x’ moles of PCl3 and ‘x’ moles of Cl2 at equilibrium, Initial moles 1 0 0
Reactions in which If the total equilibrium pressure is ‘p’ and total moles at equilibrium are 1 – x + x + x = 1+ x, The partial pressure of each gas is
If the degree of dissociation is very small then Hence KP = x2·P Reactions in which 1. Equilibrium is affected by the pressure. An increase in the value of ‘P’ will prefer backward reaction and the value of ‘x’ decreases. 2. Increase in the conc. of PCl5 favours the forward while the increase in the concentration of PCl3 or Cl2 favours the backward reaction.
Characteristics of Equilibrium constant (K) For example in the reaction If the same reaction is written as i.e, for this reaction which can be balanced in two ways

Le Chatelier’s principle According to this principle, ‘When the equilibrium is disturbed in a chemical reaction by changing any external factor such as, concentration, pressure, temperature etc. then the equilibrium will be shifted in a direction to minimize the effect of the change. Considering the following example. Let a, b and c moles of PCl5, PCl3, Cl2 respectively are present at equilibrium and P is eqm. Pressure.
Le Chatelier’s principle (Ideal gas equation.) Effect of concentration Increase in concentration of reactants and decrease in product the reaction moves to forward direction and vice-versa.
Effect of pressure/volume If the pressure decreases (increasing the volume) The reaction moves to more no. of moles of gas With increased pressure Effect will be opposite
Effect of inert gas Inert gas at constant volume there will be no effect on the equilibrium Inert gas at constant pressure For reactions Dn > 0, the equilibrium shifts to greater number of moles and vice versa. If Dn = 0, there will be no effect.
Effect of temperature For an endothermic reaction, (DH is +ve) K2 > K1, i.e. the reaction will move towards forward direction. Favoured by high temperature While for an exothermic reaction (DH is –ve), thenK2 < K1 and the reaction moves toward backward direction.Favoured by low temperature
