    Study Notes

    Chemical Equilibrium

    • Equilibrium is a state where no observable changes occur over time.
    • Chemical equilibrium occurs when the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal.
    • Concentrations of reactants and products remain constant at equilibrium.
    • Physical equilibrium examples include liquid-vapor transitions.
    • Chemical equilibrium examples include reversible reactions like N₂O₄ ↔ 2NO₂.

    Reversible Reactions

    • Reversible reactions proceed in both forward and reverse directions.
    • At equilibrium, reactants and products coexist.
    • A double arrow indicates a reversible reaction (e.g., A + B ↔ C + D).
    • Examples of reversible processes include evaporation and condensation, liquid-vapor transitions, and some chemical reactions.

    Law of Mass Action

    • Equilibrium expression describes the relationship between concentrations of products and reactants at equilibrium.
    • For a general reaction aA + bB ↔ cC + dD, the equilibrium expression is K = [C]c[D]d / [A]a[B]b
    • Equilibrium constant (K) is dimensionless.

    Equilibrium Constant Expressions

    • Concentrations of reactants and products in the condensed phase are expressed in molarity (M).
    • Pure solids, liquids, and solvents are not included in the equilibrium expressions.
    • Equilibrium expressions must specify balanced equations and temperature.

    Chemical Kinetics and Equilibrium

    • Equilibrium is reached when the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction.
    • The equilibrium constant is the ratio of the forward and reverse rate constants.
    • For the reaction A + 2B ↔ AB₂, K = [AB₂] / ([A][B]²)

    Heterogeneous Equilibrium

    • Heterogeneous reactions involve reactants and products in different phases.
    • In heterogeneous equilibrium expressions, concentrations of pure solids and liquids are omitted.

    Examples

    • Examples of acid rain production reactions are given, and the equilibrium constant is defined in relation to those reactions.
    • Equilibrium pressure calculations are shown for reactions.
