Chemistry 201: General Chemistry II - Lecture Dr. Namphol Sinkaset Chapter 16 Study Guide Concepts 1. Reversible reactions can proceed in both the forward and reverse directions. 2. equilibrium: situation that exists when a reaction appears to have stopped and the concentrations of the reactants and products no longer change. At equilibrium, the forward and backward reaction rates are equal. 3. Equilibrium does not mean that all concentrations are equal!! 4. equilibrium constant, K: the ratio at equilibrium of the concentrations of products raised to their stoichiometric coefficients divided by the concentrations of reactants raised to their stoichiometric coefficients. 5. The law of mass action relates a balanced equation to its equilibrium constant expression. 6. The numerical value of K gives an indication of the relative amounts of products and reactants that exist at equilibrium. 7. Another way of interpreting the value of K is that it tells you how far the equilibrium goes to formation of products. 8. When an equilibrium reaction is reversed, its equilibrium constant is the inverse of the original (1/K). 9. When an equilibrium equation is multiplied by a factor, the equilibrium constant is raised to that power. 10. When chemical equilibrium equations are added, the overall equilibrium constant is the product of the individual equilibrium constants. 11. Since partial pressures are proportional to concentration, equilibrium constants can be expressed in terms of partial pressures. 12. Conversion between Kc and Kp relies on determining the change in moles of gas in a reaction. 13. Pure solids and pure liquids are not included in the equilibrium constant expression. 14. Equilibrium constants are unitless even though molarity concentrations or partial pressures are used to calculate them. 1 15. No matter how a reaction is set up, the value of the equilibrium will be the same if the temperature is kept constant. 16. The reaction quotient, Qc , is expressed as concentration of products over concentration of reactants, with each substance raised to its stoichiometric power. There is also a Qp , of course. Q is for a specific set of reaction conditions that may or may not be at equilibrium. 17. If Q > K (concentration or pressure), then the reaction is not at equilibrium. Furthermore, the reaction will shift to the left. 18. If Q < K (concentration or pressure), then the reaction is not at equilibrium; it will shift to the right. 19. If Q = K (concentration or pressure), then the reaction is at equilibrium. 20. A concentration table (or pressure table for a Kp problem) is a good way to organize information given in an equilibrium problem. 21. Key points to keep in mind when performing equilibrium calculations: (1) can only use equilibrium concentrations in the Kc /Kp expression, (2) initial concentrations should be in molarity if using Kc , (3) changes in concentrations always occur in the same ratio as the coefficients in the balanced equation, and (4) all reactants should change in one direction while all products change in the opposite direction. 22. When K is really small or really big, simplifications can be made in the equilibrium expression. Unknown x values can be discarded in any addition/subtraction operation but not from any multiplication/division operation. When checking whether or not the assumption is valid, the percentage difference should be 5% or less. 23. Successive approximations can be used if the 5% rule is not met or if the problem involves evaluating a higher order equation. 24. Le Châtelier’s Principle is used to make qualitative predictions about changes in chemical equilibria. It states: “When a chemical system at equilibrium is disturbed, the system shifts in the direction that minimizes the disturbance.” 25. There are multiple ways to disturb an equilibrium: (1) add/remove a reactant or product; (2) change the volume/pressure in reactions that involve a gas; (3) change the temperature. 26. An equilibrium will shift in a direction that will partially consume a reactant or product that is added or partially replace a reactant or product that has been removed. 27. Reducing the volume of a gaseous reaction mixture shifts the equilibrium in whichever direction will, if possible, decrease the number of moles of gas. 28. Temperature affects an equilibrium based on whether the reaction is exo- or endothermic. 29. Catalysts do not affect the position of the equilibrium. 2 Equations products] (Concentration equilibrium constant expression) 1. Kc = [[reactants ] P 2.

Use the following equilibria to calculate Kc for the reaction 2CH3 OH(g) + H2(g) ↔ C2 H6(g) + 2H2 O(g) . CH4(g) 2CH4(g) + H2 O(g) * ) C2 H6(g) + H2(g) * ) CH3 OH(g) + H2(g) Kc = 9.5 × 10−13 Kc = 2.8 × 10−21 Somehow, we need to have these two reactions add up to the overall reaction given to us. The only way we can do this is by reversing the second reaction and multiplying by 2. When we do that, we need to take the inverse of Kc and then square it. After manipulating the equations, we multiply the individual Kc ’s to get the overall Kc . 2CH4(g) 2CH3 OH(g) + 2H2(g) 2CH3 OH(g) + H2(g) * ) C2 H6(g) + H2(g) * ) 2CH4(g) + 2H2 O(g) * ) C2 H6(g) + 2H2 O(g) Kc = 9.5 × 10−13 Kc = 1.3 × 1041 Kc = 1.2 × 1029 R46. At 460 ◦ C, the reaction, SO2(g) + NO2(g) ↔ NO(g) + SO3(g) , has Kc = 85.0 A reaction flask at 460 ◦ C contains these gases at the following concentrations: [SO2 ] = 0.00250 M, [NO2 ] = 0.00350 M, [NO] = 0.0250 M, [SO3 ] = 0.0400 M. (a) Is the reaction at equilibrium? (b) If not, which way will the reaction have to proceed to arrive at equilibrium? 3 This is a problem where we need to calculate the reaction quotient, Q, for the reaction and compare its value to Kc . [NO][SO3 ] [SO2 ][NO2 ] (0.0250 M)(0.0400 M) = (0.00250 M)(0.00350) = 114 Q = We see that Q is larger than Kc . Therefore, the reaction will need to shift to the left to go towards equilibrium. R60. At 25 ◦ C, Kc = 0.145 for the following reaction in the solvent CCl4 : 2BrCl ↔ Br2 + Cl2 . If the initial concentration of each substance in a solution is 0.0400 M, what will their equilibrium concentrations be? Well, it’s an equilibrium problem, so first we write the Kc expression. Kc = [Br2 ][Cl2 ] [BrCl]2 Since we’re given that every species has an initial concentration of 0.0400 M, we need to calculate Q to find out which way the equilibrium is going. [Br2 ][Cl2 ] [BrCl]2 (0.0400 M)(0.0400 M) = (0.0400 M)2 = 1 Q = We see that Q is larger than Kc , so the equilibrium will shift to the left. When we set up our chart, we know that we will need to have the product concentrations decrease and the reactant concentration increase. Additionally, we need to take the reaction stoichiometry into account. * Reaction: 2BrCl Br2 + Cl2 ) Initial 0.0400 0.0400 0.0400 Change +2x −x −x Equil. 0.0400 + 2x 0.0400 − x 0.0400 − x We place the equilibrium row into the Kc expression and solve.
