AP CHEMISTRY MRS. MOLCHANY EQUILIBRIUM Chemical equilibrium is the condition in which the concentrations of all reactants and products in a closed system cease to change with time. Chemical equilibrium occurs when opposing reactions are proceeding at equal rates. Consider the reaction Forward reaction Reverse reaction A→B A→B B→A Rate = kf [A] Rate = kr [B] kf is rate constant forward rxn kr is rate constant reverse rxn If the reaction is in equilibrium: kf [A] = kr [B] rearrange: [B] = kf = a constant [A] kr Once equilibrium is established, the concentrations of A and B do not change. The equilibrium is dynamic, the forward and reverse reactions continue occurring at the same rate. To indicate that the reaction proceeds in both the forward and reverse directions, use a double arrow. EQUILIBRIUM Uses of equilibrium constants: 1. Calculate the concentrations of the various substances at equilibrium. 2. Predict the initial direction of a reaction. The Haber Process is used to convert N2(g) and H2(g) to NH3(g) ** At some point the reaction seems to stop and all three components of the reaction mixture are present at the same time. EQUILIBRIUM For any equilibrium reaction, the ratio of concentrations of the substances on the right to the concentrations of those on the left equals a constant appropriate for that specific reaction. The Law of Mass Action: aA + bB (See Example #1) ↔ pP + qQ [P]p [Q]q = Kc [A]a [B]b Kc is the equilibrium constant (using molar conc.) a,b,p,q are numerical coefficients [P] denotes the molar concentration of P K depends on the particular reaction, the temperature, and the units used to describe concentration (molarity, pressure or others). Use the following expression when the reactants and products are gases and partial pressures (in atm.) are used. [PP]p [PQ]q = Kp [PA]a [PB]b Kp is the equilibrium constant (using partial press.) Use PV = nRT to convert between concentration (in M) and press. (in atm) rearrange: P = n RT V substitute in: Kp = Kp = remove Kc: use sci. not.: Kp = n = Molarity V P = MRT PA = [A] (RT) ([P] RT)p ([Q] RT)q ([A] RT)a ([B] RT)b [P] p (RT)p [Q] q (RT)q [A] a (RT)a [B] b (RT)b Kc (RT)p (RT)q (RT)a (RT)b Kp = general express: Kp = Kc (RT)(p+q) – (a+b) Kc (RT)∆n ∆n = prod. moles of gas – reac. moles of gas EQUILIBRIUM The magnitude of the equilibrium constant can show whether products or reactants are favored in a reaction. K >> 1: Equilibrium lies to the right; products favored. K << 1: Equilibrium lies to the left; reactants favored. (See Example #2) The direction in which you write the chemical equation for an equilibrium is arbitrary, because equilibrium can be approached from either direction. The equilibrium constant expression for a reaction written in one direction is the reciprocal of the one for the reaction in the reverse direction. The equilibrium constant allows you: 1. to predict the direction in which a reaction mixture will proceed to achieve equilibrium. 2. to calculate the concentrations of reactants and products once equilibrium has been established. Homogeneous equilibria involve substances all in the same phase. Heterogeneous equilibria involve substances all in different phases. Express the concentration of a solid by using its density. Density M = g/cm3 = mol g/mol cm3 M = molarity The density of a pure liquid or solid is a constant at any given temperature. CO2(g) + H2(g) ↔ CO(g) + H2O(l) Kc = [CO]___ [CO2] [H2] Kp = PCO____ PCO2 PH2 H2O(l) is considered a pure liquid with a specific density EQUILIBRIUM Calculating Equilibrium Constants 1. Tabulate the known initial and equilibrium concentrations of all species involved in the equilibrium. 2. For those species for which both the initial and equilibrium concentrations are known, calculate the change in concentration that occurs as the system reaches equilibrium. 3. Use the stoichiometry of the reaction (this is, use the coefficients in the balanced chemical equation) to calculate the changes in concentration for all the other species in the equilibrium. 4. From the initial concentrations and the changes in concentration, calculate the equilibrium concentrations. These are used to evaluate the equilibrium constant. Or, think of it this way: 1. 2. 3. 4. initial and equil. conc. change in conc. stoichiometry to calculate changes in conc. calculate equil. conc. (See Example #3) When the reactant and product concentrations are substituted into the equilibrium constant expression, the result is the reaction quotient (Q). The reaction quotient will equal the equilibrium constant, K, only if the system is at equilibrium: Q = K only at equilibrium. When Q > K, substances on the right side of the equation will react to form more reactants. When Q < K, the reaction will achieve equilibrium by forming more products. Q>K forms reactants Q=K at equilibrium Q<K forms products EQUILIBRIUM Le Chatelier’s Principle – If a system at equilibrium is disturbed by a change in temperature, pressure or the concentration of one of the components, the system will shift its equilibrium position so as to counteract the effect of the disturbance. 3 ways that a chemical equilibrium can be disturbed: 1. adding or removing a reactant or product 2. changing the pressure 3. changing the temperature EQUILIBRIUM EXAMPLES #1 What is the equilibrium expression for the following equation? CH4(g) + O2(g) ↔ CO2(g) + 2H2O(g) #2 At 1000C, the halogen reaction Br2(g) + Cl2(g) ↔ 2BrCl(g) has an equilibrium constant of 0.15 when the concentrations are expressed in either moles or atmospheres. If a reaction vessel is filled with 100 g of Br2 and 50 g each of Cl2 and BrCl, calculate to predict the direction of the initial reaction. ANS: moles BrCl moles Br2 moles Cl2 = 50/115.35 = 100/159.80 = 50/70.90 [BrCl]2 = __(0.433)2___ [Br2] [Cl2] (0.626) (0.705) = 0.433 = 0.626 = 0.705 = 0.425 > 0.15 The reaction 2BrCl(g) ↔ Br2(g) + Cl2(g) is the initial reaction. #3 A mixture of 5.00 x 10-3 mol of H2 and 1.00 x 10-2 mol of I2 is placed in a 5.00 L container at 448 0C and allowed to come to equilibrium.
