The Concept of Equilibrium We’ve already used the phrase “equilibrium”
when talking about reactions.
In principle, every chemical reaction is reversible ... capable of moving in the forward or backward direction.
2 H2 + O2 2 H2O
Some reactions are easily reversible ...Some not so easy ...
The Concept of Equilibrium Chemical equilibrium occurs when a
reaction and its reverse reaction proceed at the same rate.
The Concept of Equilibrium
As a system approaches equilibrium, both the forward and reverse reactions are occurring.
At equilibrium, the forward and reverse reactions are proceeding at the same rate.
A System at Equilibrium
Once equilibrium is achieved, the amount of each reactant and product remains constant.
A System at EquilibriumRates become equal Concentrations become constant
Depicting Equilibrium In a system at equilibrium, both the
forward and reverse reactions are running simultaneously. We write the chemical equation with a double arrow:
Equilibrium Constant
Forward reaction: Reverse reaction:
Rate LawRate law
Equilibrium ConstantAt equilibrium
Rearranging gives:
r
Equilibrium Constant The ratio of the rate constants is a constant
(as long as T is constant).
The expression becomes
Equilibrium Expression (Law of Mass Action)To generalize, the reaction:
Has the equilibrium expression:
This expression is true even if you don’t know the elementary reaction mechanism.
Equilibrium Expression
[A], [B], [C], [D] = molar concentrations or partial pressures at equilibrium
Products = numerator and reactants = denominator
Coefficients in balanced equation = exponents
Equilibrium Expression Equilibrium constant can have different
subscripts
Kc = concentration Moles, liters, or molarity
Kp = partial pressure Atmospheres
Ksp = solubility product Reactant is a solid so only products are in
expression
Equilibrium Expression
Does not depend on initial concentration of reactants and products
Solids and pure liquids are not included in equilibrium expression (only gases and solutions)
Keq does not have units (describes activity of reaction)
Depends only on the particular reaction and the temperature
Equilibrium Expression The Concentrations of Solids and Liquids
Are Essentially Constant Therefore, the concentrations of solids and
liquids do not appear in the equilibrium expression
Kc = [Pb2+] [Cl−]2
PbCl2 (s) Pb2+ (aq) + 2 Cl−(aq)
Sample Exercise 1 Write the equilibrium expression for Kc for
the following reactions:
Sample Exercise 1 – Answers
Homogeneous vs Heterogeneous Homogeneous equilibrium
Reactants and products are all in the same phase Example: 2NOBr(g) ↔ 2NO(g) + Br2(g)
Heterogeneous equilibrium Reactants and products are occur in different
phases Example: PbCl2 (s) ↔ Pb2+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq)
Equilibrium - Summary At equilibrium…
Concentrations of reactants and products no longer change with time
Neither reactants nor products can escape from the system
The equilibrium constant comes from a ratio of concentration
Solving for Keq
Kc, the final ratio of [NO2]2 to [N2O4], reaches a constant no matter what the initial concentrations of NO2 and N2O4 are.
Solving for Keq
= = 0.211

Solving for Keq
This graph shows data from the last two trials from the table.
What does the value of K mean? If K >> 1, the
reaction is product-favored; contains mostly products at equilibrium
• If K << 1, the reaction is reactant-favored; contains mostly reactants at equilibrium.
Manipulating Equilibrium Constants The equilibrium constant of a reaction in
the reverse reaction is the reciprocal of the equilibrium constant of the forward reaction.
Manipulating Equilibrium Constants The equilibrium constant of a reaction that
has been multiplied by a number is the equilibrium constant raised to a power that is equal to that number.
Manipulating Equilibrium Constants If two reactions can be added together to
create a third reaction, then the Keq for the two reactions can be multiplied together to get the Keq for the third reaction.
If A + B ↔ C Keq = K1
and C ↔ D + E Keq = K2
then A + B ↔ D + E Keq = K1K2
Manipulating Equilibrium Constants (Summary) The equilibrium constant in the reverse
direction is the inverse of the equilibrium constant in the forward direction.
The equilibrium constant of a reaction that has been multiplied by a number is the equilibrium constant raised to a power equal to that number.
The equilibrium constant for a net reaction made up of multiple steps is the product of the equilibrium constants for individual steps.
Equilibrium Constant and Gases Because pressure is proportional to
concentration for gases, the equilibrium expression can also be written in terms of partial pressures (instead of concentration):
Mixed versions are also used sometimes:
Relationship between Kc and Kp
From the ideal gas law we know that
= Pressure in terms of concentration
Relationship between Kc and Kp
Substituting P=[A]RT into the expression for Kp for each substance, the relationship between Kc and Kp becomes
Where:Kp = Kc (RT)n
n = (moles of gaseous product) – (moles of gaseous reactant)R = 0.0821 L∙atm/mol∙K
GIVEN TO YOU ON AP CHEAT SHEET!!
Relationship between Kc and Kp
In the synthesis of ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen, N2(g) + 3H2(g) ↔ 2NH3(g). Given Kc of 9.60 at 300°C, calculate Kp.n = (moles gaseous products – moles
gaseous reactants) = 2-4 = -2
Kp = Kc (RT)n
Kp = 9.60(0.0821×573K)-2= 4.34×10-3

Approximating
If Keq is really small the reaction will not proceed to the right very far, meaning the equilibrium concentrations will be nearly the same as the initial concentrations of your reactants.
0.20 – x is just about 0.20 is x is really dinky. (Example: A million dollars minus a nickel is still
a million dollars)
If the difference between Keq and initial concentrations is around 3 orders of magnitude or more, go for it. Otherwise, you have to use the quadratic.

The Reaction Quotient (Q) To calculate Q, one substitutes the initial
concentrations of reactants and products into the equilibrium expression.
Q gives the same ratio the equilibrium expression gives, but for a system that is not at equilibrium.
Q [A], [B], [C], [D] = initial molar
concentrations or partial pressures
If Q = K,
The system is at equilibrium.
If Q > K,
There is too much product
and the reaction proceeds
backwards (equilibrium
shifts to the left).
If Q < K,
There is too much reactant, and the reaction
proceeds forward
(equilibrium shifts to the
right).
Summary Q uses same as equilibrium expression but
with initial concentrations or pressures
Q = K, reaction is at equilibrium Q > K, reaction goes backwards (shifts left) Q < K, reaction goes forward (shifts right)
Le Châtelier’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.”
Le Chatlier’s Principle1. System starts at equilibrium.2. A change/stress is then made to system
at equilibrium. Change in concentration Change in volume Change in pressure Change in Temperature Add Catalyst
3. System responds by shifting to reactant or product side to restore equilibrium.
Le Chatlier’s Principle – basic terms When you take something away from a system at
equilibrium, the system shifts in such a way as to replace some what you’ve taken away.
When you add something to a system at equilibrium, the system shifts in such a way as to use up some of what you’ve added.
Le Chatlier’s Principle - Concentration
A system shifts to offset the change in concentration of reactants or products
Le Chatlier’s Principle - Concentration Adding reactants or products causes a shift in
the other direction to offset the added reactants or products
aA + bB cC + dD

Shifts right Shifts left
Le Chatlier’s Principle - Concentration Removing reactants or products causes a
shift toward the removed reactants or products to offset the change
aA + bB cC + dD aA + bB cC + dD
Remove Remove
Shifts rightShifts left
Le Chatlier’s Principle – Volume & Pressure
Only matters when dealing with gases
Count the total moles of gas on each side of the equation to determine shift
Le Chatlier’s Principle – Volume & Pressure The system shifts to remove gases and
decrease pressure. An increase in pressure favors the
direction that has fewer moles of gas. In a reaction with the same number of
product and reactant moles of gas, pressure has no effect.

Le Chatlier’s Principle – Volume & Pressure
CHANGE SHIFT
Increase pressure Toward side with less moles of gas Decrease volume Toward side with less moles of gas Decrease pressure Toward side with more moles of gas Increase volume Toward side with more moles of gas
A (g) + B (g) C (g)
Le Chatlier’s Principle – Temperature Endothermic: heat can be considered as a
reactant A + heat B + C
Exothermic: heat can be considered as a product A + B C + heat
Adding heat (i.e. heating the vessel) favors away from the increase
Removing heat (i.e. cooling the vessel), favors towards the decrease
Le Chatlier’s Principle – Temperature Equilibrium constant, K, is temperature
dependant Temperature is only factor that can change
the value of K
Change ExothermicIncrease temperature K decreases
Decrease temperature K increases
EndothermicK increases
K decreases
Le Chatlier’s Principle – Catalysts Does not change K Does not shift the position of an
equilibrium system System will reach equilibrium sooner
Catalysts increase the rate of both the forward and reverse reactions.
Equilibrium is achieved faster, but the equilibrium composition remains unaltered.
