Reversible Reaction

A reaction that can proceed in both forward and reverse directions, where products can react to form reactants again.

Irreversible Reaction

A reaction that can proceed in only one direction, where reactants are completely converted to products.

Chemical Equilibrium

The point in a reversible reaction where the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal, resulting in no net change in the concentrations of reactants and products.

Dynamic Equilibrium

Study Notes

Chemical Equilibrium

  • Equilibrium: A state in a reversible reaction where the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction. The concentrations of reactants and products remain constant.
  • Reversible Reactions: Reactions that can proceed in both forward and reverse directions.
  • Irreversible Reactions: Reactions that proceed essentially to completion in one direction. Calcium carbonate decomposing into calcium oxide and carbon dioxide is an example of a reaction that proceeds to completion. This is due to factors like high temperature, the greater stability of products, or the continuous removal of a product gas—as occurs in lime kilns.
  • Chemical Equilibrium State: The system is in equilibrium when the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal. This leads to constant concentrations of reactants and products.
  • Dynamic Equilibrium: Equilibrium is dynamic. The forward and reverse reactions continue to occur, but at equal rates.
  • Equilibrium Constant (K): In a reaction at equilibrium, the ratio of product concentrations to reactant concentrations raised to their stoichiometric coefficients is constant.
  • Active Mass: The number of gram molecules of a substance per unit volume can also be termed as its activity.
  • Standard Free Energy Change (∆G): At equilibrium, the standard free energy change of a reversible reaction is zero.
  • Equilibrium Shifting: Changing conditions such as temperature, pressure, or concentration can shift the equilibrium.
  • Catalyst: Catalysts do not affect the position of equilibrium; they only speed up the reaction rate.
  • Le Chatelier's Principle: This principle describes how a change in conditions affects a system at equilibrium.
  • Conditions for Equilibrium: Mutual opposite reactions with identical velocities leads to system at an equilibrium state.
  • Identifying an Equilibrium State: Fifty percent change of substances in both directions and constant velocity of changes to substances are indicator of equilibrium.
  • Equilibrium Graph: A graph can be used to demonstrate equilibrium by showing how concentrations of products and reactants change with time until both rates are equal.
  • Theory of Active Mass: Equilibrium is directly proportional to the concentration of reactants.
