Combustion to make water is favored, but extremely slow at PSCB 100 temp.

Generic Equilibrium Constant

Ratio of equilibrium concentrations of products over reactants Concentrations raised to the stoichiometric coefficients in the

Equilibrium Constant

Origin of Equilibrium ConstantEquilibrium occurs when the rates of the forward
and reverse reactions are exactly equal
rateforward =ratereverse
Reaction rate is the number (mol) of molecules produced or d i h i l ti ti l (L) ti ( )consumed in a chemical reaction per reaction volume (L) per time (s)

rateforward
Origin of Equilibrium ConstantFor simple reactions (like this one), reaction rate is proportional to the
concentrations of the reactants raised to their stoichiometric coefficients

ExampleThe reaction of CO with Cl2 to form COCl2 is another single-step reaction. A vessel is filled with only CO and Cl2. Describe how equilibrium is achieved and the connection between the reaction rates and the equilibrium constant.
Balanced Reaction:
connection between the reaction rates and the equilibrium constant.
CO(g) +Cl2 (g) COCl2 (g)
rateforward = kf x [CO][Cl2]
Initially, we have only reactants: CO(g)+Cl2(g) COCl2(g)
forward f [ ][ 2]
Initially:rateforward >>ratereverse
As products form, the rate of the reverse reaction increases:
CO(g)+Cl2(g) COCl2(g)

Equilibrium Expressed in Partial Pressures aA+bB cC+dD
Since PV = nRT, we can write for gas phase reactions:
Kp expresses equilibrium in terms of the partial pressures

35
Homogeneous EquilibriaRefers to reactions in which all reactants and products are in the
same phase.
36
Heterogeneous EquilibriaIn heterogeneous equilibria, reactants and products are in different phases
The concentrations of pure solids and pure liquids are constant and are not included in the expression for the equilibrium constant

Manipulating Equilibrium Constant Expressions Eachoftheseproperchemicalequationswillhaveadifferent
equilibriumexpressionandadifferentnumericalvalueofKc:
N2(g)+3H2(g) 2NH3(g)
1/2N2(g)+3/2H2(g) NH3(g)
2NH3(g) N2(g)+3H2(g)
Changing the reaction stoichiometry by a factor of x raises Kc to the power of x
41
The Kcs of a forward and reverse reaction are reciprocals of each other
K of Forward and Reverse Reactions
42
Multiple Equilibria
43
Example
N2(g)+O2(g) 2NO(g)
2NO(g)+O2(g) 2NO2(g)+
N2(g) +2O2(g) 2NO2(g)
Kc is equal to the product of the equilibrium constants for the individual reactions
44
Another Example
Reactions 1, 2 and 3 are related as follows:2x{Reverse Reaction 1} + {Reaction 2} = {Reaction 3}2x{Reverse Reaction 1} + {Reaction 2} = {Reaction 3}
So:K1-1 x K1-1 x K2 = K3
Solving for K3:10-52 x 10-52 x 10129 = 1025

Calculating Equilibrium ConcentrationsWhen Qc Kc, we can calculate exactly how much additional reactant or product will form in order to reach equilibrium.
PCl5 (g) PCl3 (g) + Cl2 (g) Kc = 0.030
Consider this equilibrium:
A t i iti ll t i i l PCl t t ti f 0 100 M hA system initially containing only PCl5 at a concentration of 0.100 M has a Qc = 0, which is less than 0.030. What are the equilibrium concentrations of the three gases?
51
Set up the problem in the following way:Setuptheprobleminthefollowingway:
PCl5 (g) PCl3 (g) + Cl2 (g) Kc = 0.030

The concentrations at equilibrium are:

= 0.058 M0.042 M 0.042 M
Check for yourself that this gives Kc!

atm at a certain high temperature. Calculate the equilibrium vapor pressures of ammonia gas and HCl gas starting from pure NH4Cl (s).pressures of ammonia gas and HCl gas starting from pure NH4Cl (s).
54
Sample Problem
First calculate Q, compare with K: Q = (0.012)^2/0.063 = 0.0023
Q > K, reaction goes to reactants!
Change (M) +x -2xEquilibrium (M) 0.063 + x 0.012 2x
55
(0.012 2x)2 = 0.0011x + 6.93 x 10-5
4x2 - 0.048x + 0.000144 = 0.0011x + 6.93 x 10-5
4x2 - 0.0491x + 0.0000747 = 0
x = 0.0105 , x = 0.00178
Change (M) +x -2x x = 0.0105 gives nonsense;reject it
Equilibrium (M) 0.063 + x 0.012 2x reject it
At equilibrium: [Br] = 0.012 2(0.00178) = 0.00844 M
56
[Br2] = 0.063 + 0.00178 = 0.0648 M

The 5% Rule: if the change in concentration is less than 5% of the initial concentration, we can safely ignore it.5% of the initial concentration, we can safely ignore it.
