9
Brainstorm: What does it mean to be in equilibrium?
Balanced
10
Chemical Reactions We are use to thinking about chemical reactions like this:
11
Chemical Reactions can be Reversible
Some reactions are reversible, where the products can regenerate the original reactants
12
Chemical Equilibrium The forward and reverse reaction rates are equal
Equilibrium DOES NOT mean the concentrations of reactants and products are equal
14
Dynamic Chemical Equilibrium
Chemists refer to equilibrium as dynamic because the reaction does not stop when it reaches equilibrium, but becomes constant The system is changing but there is no net reaction In a closed system, almost all reactions will reach equilibrium
15
Equilibrium Constant Notes
16
Equilibrium Constant Expresses the relative concentrations of reactants and products at equilibrium by using an “equilibrium constant” – Keq a A + b B c C + d D
17
Equilibrium Constant Only include gases and aqueous solutions when writing equilibrium constants Solids and liquids are not included They can be represented with a [1] or left out entirely
18
Types of Equilibrium Problems
Quantitative Keq < 1, then the reaction is reactant-favored at equilibrium COCl2(g) CO(g) + Cl2(g) Keq = 2.2 x 10-10 Reactant-favored
19
Types of Equilibrium Problems
Keq > 1, then the reaction is product- favored at equilibrium 2 NO2(g) N2O4(g) Keq = 2.15 x 102 Product-favored
20
Keq and Stresses on the system
Keq does not change with change in concentration It will change based on change in temperature and change of pressure
21
Types of Equilibrium Problems
Quantitative (uses the Keq equation) Write the equilibrium expression for the following reaction 2 SO2(g) + O2(g) 2 SO3(g) [SO3]2 [SO2]2 [O2] _______________
22
Types of Equilibrium Problems
If M of O2, M of SO2 and M of SO3 at equilibrium, calculate Keq [SO3]2 [SO2]2 [O2] [.00140]2 [.0250]2 [.0172] _______________ _______________ Keq = .18 (reactant favored)
23
Equilibrium Constant Practice
Complete the practice at your desk. Whatever you do not finish will become your homework
24
Exit Ticket Given the following reaction:
Use Le Chatelier’s principle to determine what would happen if the following changes were made Increase the concentration of N2 Increase the concentration of NH3 Remove NH3 from the reaction after it is made
