Equilibrium Constant Expression (Kc)

Expression representing the ratio of products to reactants at equilibrium, considering only gaseous and aqueous species. Solids and liquids have constant activity and are excluded.

Equilibrium Condition

At equilibrium, the forward and reverse reaction rates are equal, indicating a dynamic state where the net change in concentrations is zero.

Qc vs Kc

Kc is the equilibrium constant calculated from concentrations, while Qc is the reaction quotient calculated from initial concentrations. Comparing Qc to Kc predicts the direction a reversible reaction will shift to reach equilibrium.

Le Chatelier's Principle: Increase SO2

An increase in SO2 concentration will shift the equilibrium towards the products (right) to reduce the stress, increasing SO3 concentration, according to Le Chatelier's principle.

Volume Change on Equilibrium

Shifts to the side with more gas molecules if volume increases and vice versa. If the number of gas molecules is the same on both sides, changing the volume has no effect.

Study Notes

  • Active & Collaborative Learning Worksheet

Equilibrium Constant Expression

  • For a heterogeneous equilibrium aA(s) + bB(g) = cC(g) + dD(s), the equilibrium constant expression is [C]c[D]d/[B]b.
  • Solid and liquid concentrations are not included in the equilibrium constant expression.

Equilibrium

  • At equilibrium for the reaction CO2(aq) + H2O(l) = H2CO3(aq), the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction.

Equilibrium Shift

  • For the reaction 2NOBr(g) = 2NO(g) + Br2(g) with ΔH°rxn = 30 kJ/mol, equilibrium will shift to the left if the temperature is decreased.

Reaction Direction

  • For the reaction 2A(aq) + B(aq) = 3C(aq), with Kc = 100 and Qc = 50, the reaction will proceed in the forward direction to reach equilibrium.
  • When Qc < Kc, the reaction proceeds in the forward direction.

Equilibrium Position

  • Given the reaction 2SO2(g) + O2(g) = 2SO3(g), if the concentration of SO2 is increased by adding more SO2, the equilibrium position shifts to the right, increasing the concentration of SO3.

Equilibrium Concentrations

  • For the reaction X(aq) + Y(aq) = 2Z(aq), with initial concentrations [X] = 0.3 M, [Y] = 0.3 M, and [Z] = 0 M, and Kc = 250, we need to calculate the equilibrium concentrations using an ICE table.

Reaction Quotient

  • For the reaction 2X(aq) + Y(aq) = Z(s), with initial concentrations [X] = 0.1 M, [Y] = 0.2 M, and [Z] = 0.3 M, the reaction quotient Qc can be calculated.

Kp and Kc Relationship

  • For the reaction CO(g) + H2O(g) = CO2(g) + H2(g), if Kp = 0.1 atm at a temperature of 300 K, then Kc can be calculated using the relationship Kp = Kc(RT)^Δn, where Δn is the change in the number of moles of gas.

Equilibrium Concentration of HI

  • At 400°C, K = 64 for the equilibrium H2(g) + I2(g) = 2HI(g). with 3.00 mol H2 and 3.00 mol I2 introduced into an empty 4.0 L vessel, the equilibrium concentration of HI at 400°C can be found using an ICE table.

Reaction Quotient vs. Equilibrium

  • At 700 K, the reaction 2SO2(g) + O2(g) = 2SO3(g) has the equilibrium constant K = 4.3 × 10^6, with [SO2] = 0.10 M; [SO3] = 10. M; [O2] = 0.10 M, Q < K, the reaction proceeds from left to right to reach equilibrium
  • If Q > K, the reaction proceeds from right to left to reach equilibrium, and if Q = K, the reaction is currently at equilibrium.
