Study Notes
Equilibrium
- Equilibrium is a state where the forward and reverse reactions occur at the same rate.
- Two types of equilibrium: static and dynamic.
- Static equilibrium: Two equal weights on a seesaw.
- Dynamic equilibrium: A restaurant with constant occupancy despite people entering and leaving.
Characteristics of Dynamic Equilibrium
- Closed system: No matter enters or exits.
- Constant rate: The forward and reverse reactions occur at the same rate.
- Macroscopic scale: No noticeable change.
- Microscopic scale: Constant motion of particles.
Principles of Chemical Equilibrium
- Equilibrium constant (K): The ratio of product concentrations to reactant concentrations at a given temperature.
- General reaction: aA + bB ⇌ cC + dD
- Equilibrium constant expression: K = [C]c[D]d / [A]a[B]b
- represents concentration.
- Kp: Equilibrium constant in terms of partial pressures (for gases only). Solids are excluded.
- Example: 2SO₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇌ 2SO₃(g)
Le Chatelier's Principle
- If a change (stressor) is applied to a system in equilibrium, the system will shift to counteract the change and re-establish equilibrium.
- Examples: Change in temperature, pressure, or concentration.
Catalyst
- Catalysts speed up the rate of both forward and reverse reactions.
- They do not shift the equilibrium position or the equilibrium constant.
- They only affect the rate at which equilibrium is reached.
Temperature Changes
- Temperature affects the equilibrium constant.
Pressure Changes
- If pressure increases, the equilibrium shifts towards the side with fewer moles of gas to reduce pressure.
- If pressure decreases, the equilibrium shifts towards the side with more moles of gas to increase pressure.
Haber Process
- N₂ + 3H₂ ⇌ 2NH₃ ΔH is -ve, meaning the forward reaction is exothermic.
- Lowering the temperature favors the exothermic forward reaction thus increasing the yield of ammonia.
- Increasing pressure favors the side with fewer moles of gas (the right side), also increases the ammonia yield.
Contact Process
- Similar to Haber process, system shifts to counteract applied pressure change.
Equilibrium Calculations
- ICE tables (Initial, Change, Equilibrium) are useful tools for calculating equilibrium concentrations.
- Used to solve for unknown quantities upon adding reactants or products to existing equilibrium conditions.
Equilibrium Constant, Kc
- Equilibrium constant for a given reaction at a defined temperature.
- Used to determine how much reactants/products are at equilibrium.
- Value determined based on amounts of products/reactants.
