Equilibrium Position
Equilibrium Expression Equilibrium Constant, K eq The concentrations are at the equilibrium position. The K eq is constant for a given temperature regardless of the initial concentrations.
K eq > 1, products favored in equilibrium K eq < 1, reactants favored in equilibrium K eq is not expressed with units.
Rules for K eq of Heterogeneous Equilibrium (more than one phase) Only gases and solutes concentrations appear in the equilibrium expressions. Pure liquids and solids do not affect the K eq, because they do not change.
Practice 2 SO 2(g) + O 2(g) ⇄ 2 SO 3(g) K eq = AgCl(s) ⇄ Ag + (aq) +Cl - (aq) K eq =
Ex. 1: Calculate the K eq, given equilibrium concentrations N 2 O 4 (g) ⇄ 2 NO 2(g) At equilibrium at 10°C, [N 2 O 4 ]= M and [NO 2 ] = 0.030M. Calculate the K eq. At equilibrium at 10°C, [N 2 O 4 ]= M and [NO 2 ] = 0.030M. Calculate the K eq.Answer: K eq = 0.20
