Equilibrium of solids and solutions
Equilibrium of solids and solutions NaCl(s) + H2O(l)
Equilibrium of solids and solutions NaCl(s) + H2O(l) Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq) To remove an ion from the crystal lattice, the solvating interactions must be stronger than the lattice interactions.
Equilibrium of solids and solutions NaCl(s) + H2O(l) Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq) Solution must be saturated for this equilibrium to take place.
Dynamic equilibrium
Equilibrium for dissolution-precipitation reaction:
Equilibrium for dissolution-precipitation reaction: I2(s) + CCl4(l) I2(CCl4)
Equilibrium for dissolution-precipitation reaction: I2(s) + CCl4(l) I2(CCl4) K [I2]CCl = 4
Equilibrium for dissolution-precipitation reaction: I2(s) + CCl4(l) I2(CCl4) [I2]CCl K = 4 Molarity of saturated solution = K
K will vary when conditions are changed [I2]CCl K = 4 K will vary when conditions are changed based on Le Chatelier’s Principle.
If solution of a material is exothermic, [I2]CCl K = 4 If solution of a material is exothermic, increasing the temperature will decrease K. A(s) A(sol)
If solution of a material is endothermic, [I2]CCl K = 4 If solution of a material is endothermic, increasing the temperature will increase K. A(s) A(sol)
Kinetics (reaction rates) must be considered.
The value of K is not an indicator of how long it takes to attain equilibrium.
A K = 5 does not guarantee a 5 M solution in a few minutes.
