Reversible Reaction All reactions are reversible. For example: Decomposition of dinitrogen tetroxide: N 2 O 4 2 NO 2 Starting from pure N 2 O 4, NO 2 will form as product form decomposition of dinitrogen tetroxide Starting from pure NO 2 , N 2 O 4 will form as product from combination of nitrogen dioxide 2 NO 2 N 2 O 4 17 -4
The Equilibrium State Starting from pure reactant, as reaction progresses, [reactant] ↓, [product] ↑ Therefore rateforward ↓ , ratereversed ↑ • When rateforward = ratereversed, [product] and [reactant] remain constant, the reaction reaches equilibrium Chemical equilibrium is a dynamic state, meaning: • Forward and reverse reactions continue to occur • Forward and reverse reaction at the same rate • No net change is observed on the macroscopic level 17 -5

Expressing Equilibria with Pressure: Kp Kp : K for a reaction involving gas expressed using partial pressures of gaseous reactants instead of molarity. Partial pressure in atmosphere (atm). The partial pressure of each gas is directly proportional to its molarity. Qp = 17 -27 2 P NO 2 P 2 NO x PO Qc = 2 [NO 2]2 [NO]2 [O 2]

Solving Equilibrium Problems If equilibrium quantities are given, we simply substitute these into the expression for Kc to calculate its value. If only some equilibrium quantities are given, we use a reaction table (or ICE table) to calculate them and find Kc. A reaction table shows • the balanced equation, • the initial quantities of reactants and products, • the changes in these quantities during the reaction, and • the equilibrium quantities. • Change = Equilibrium - Initial 17 -30

Le Châtelier’s Principle “When a chemical system at equilibrium is disturbed, it reattains equilibrium by undergoing a net reaction that reduces the effect of the disturbance. ” A system is disturbed when a change in conditions forces it temporarily out of equilibrium. The system responds to a disturbance by a shift in the equilibrium position, until a new equilibrium is reached.

What can affect a chemical equilibrium? Starting from a reaction mixture at equilibrium, Q = K. If reaction quotient Q changes or equilibrium constant K changes, Q ≠ K, the reaction mixture will change to reach a new equilibrium. Recall: Q < K: [products] /[reactants]. To regain equilibrium, [reactants]↓ and [products]↑ Reaction proceeds to the right. Q > K: reaction proceeds to the left to reach equilibrium. 17 -41

Equilibrium that involves Gases • Changes in P or V have no effect on the value of K. • Boyle’s law: at constant temperature, P causes V , vice versa. • Ideal gas law p. V = n. RT: If the moles of gas (n) do NOT equal between reactant and product (Dngas ≠ 0), the volumes of reactants do NOT equal that of products. • More moles of gas corresponds to _____ (larger/smaller) volume. 17 -45
Change in Pressure (Volume) Affect Equilibrium Changes in P or V affect equilibrium systems containing gaseous components. • Increase in P (or decrease in V) causes the shift toward the side with less volume between reactant and product. P or V↑ favor larger ngas. vice versa • Adding an inert gas has no effect on the equilibrium position, as long as the volume does not change. – This is because all concentrations and partial pressures remain unchanged. 17 -46

In-depth reading: Temperature affects K The only factor that affects the value of K for a given equilibrium system is temperature. For a reaction with DH°rxn > 0, an increase in temperature will cause K to increase. For a reaction with DH°rxn < 0, an increase in temperature will cause K to decrease. The van’t Hoff equation shows this relationship: ln 17 -60 K 2 K 1 o DH rxn = R 1 T 2 - 1 T 1 R = 8. 314 J/mol·K K 1 is the equilibrium constant at T 1

Le Chatlier: For equilibrium: 2 H 2 S(g) + O 2(g) 2 S(s) + 2 H 2 O(g) What happens to the equilibrium if (a) [H 2 O] if O 2 is added? (b) [H 2 S] if O 2 is added? (c) [O 2] if H 2 S is removed? (d) [O 2] if solid sulfur is added? 2 Qc = [H 2 O] [H 2 S]2[O 2] (a) When O 2 is added, Q decreases and the reaction proceeds to the right until Qc = Kc again, so [H 2 O] increases. (b) When O 2 is added, Q decreases and the reaction proceeds to the right until Qc = Kc again, so [H 2 S] decreases. (c) When H 2 S is removed, Q increases and the reaction proceeds to the left until Qc = Kc again, so [O 2] increases. (d) The concentration of solid S is unchanged and does not appear in the reaction quotient. Adding more S has no effect, so [H 2 S] is unchanged. 17 -62

Analysis (a): Kc = [CO][Cl 2] [COCl 2] x 2 = 8. 3 x 10 -4 = 0. 500 - x Since Kc is very small, the reaction does not proceed very far to the right, so let's assume that x can be neglected when we calculate [COCl 2]eqm: Kc = 8. 3 x 10 -4 x 2 ≈ 0. 500 x 2 ≈ (8. 3 x 10 -4)(0. 500) so x ≈ 2. 0 x 10 -2 At equilibrium, [COCl 2] = 0. 500 – 2. 0 x 10 -2 = 0. 480 M and [Cl 2] = [CO] = 2. 0 x 10 -2 M Check that the assumption is justified: x 2. 0 x 10 -2 x 100 = 4%, which is < 5%, so the x 100 = [COCl 2]init 0. 500 assumption is justified. 17 -66

Analysis: SOLUTION: (a) CO 2 is the only gas present. To increase its yield, we should increase the volume (decrease the pressure). (b) There are moles of gaseous reactants than products, so we should decrease the volume (increase the pressure) to shift the equilibrium to the right. (c) The number of moles of gas is the same in both the reactants and the products; therefore a change in volume will have no effect. 17 -70

Analysis: SOLUTION: (a) Ca. O(s) + H 2 O(l) Ca(OH)2(aq) + heat An increase in temperature will shift the reaction to the left, so [Ca(OH)2] will decrease. (b) Ca. CO 3(s) + heat Ca.
