1 Approaching Equilibrium Lesson 1

2 Approaching Equilibrium
Many chemical reactions are reversible if the activation energy is low and the system is closed. Reactants ⇌ Products

3

4 Approaching Equilibrium
Many chemical reactions are reversible if the activation energy is low. Reactants ⇌ Products Forward Reaction is left to right Reverse Reaction is right to left

5 Lets see what happens to some reactants if they are placed in a reaction vessel and allowed to react.

6 Approaching Equilibrium
Reactants Products Forward Rate Reverse Rate

7 Approaching Equilibrium
Reactants Products Forward Rate Reverse Rate

8 Approaching Equilibrium
Reactants Products Forward Rate Reverse Rate

9 Approaching Equilibrium
Reactants Products Forward Rate Reverse Rate

10 Approaching Equilibrium
Reactants Products Forward Rate Reverse Rate

11 Approaching Equilibrium
Reactants Products Forward Rate Reverse Rate

12 Approaching Equilibrium
Reactants Products Forward Rate Reverse Rate Are Equal

13 Approaching Equilibrium
Reactants Products Forward Rate Reverse Rate Are Equal Are Constant

14 Graphing the Approach to Equilibrium
product  Concentration reactant Time

15 Graphing the Approach to Equilibrium
reactant  Concentration product Time

16 Graphing the Approach to Equilibrium
Forward rate  Concentration Reverse rate Overall rate Time

17 Approaching Equilibrium
Reactant concentrations start high and decrease as the reaction proceeds. The forward rate, which depends on collisions of the reactants, also decreases. Product concentrations start at zero and increase as the reaction proceeds. The reverse rate, which depends on collisions of the products, also increases. Eventually the forward rate is equal to the reverse rate and the concentrations are constant. This is equilibrium.

18 Characteristics of a System at Equilibrium
The Forward rate = The Reverse rate The Reactant and Product concentrations are constant The Macroscopic (observable) properties are constant The system is Dynamic as the forward and reverse reactions continue. The equilibrium can be approached from starting with reactants or starting with products.

19 Approaching Equilibrium from Products
Reactants Products Forward Rate Reverse Rate

20 Approaching Equilibrium from Products
Reactants Products Forward Rate Reverse Rate

21 Approaching Equilibrium from Products
Reactants Products Forward Rate Reverse Rate

22 Approaching Equilibrium from Products
Reactants Products Forward Rate Reverse Rate

23 Approaching Equilibrium from Products
Reactants Products Forward Rate Reverse Rate

24 Approaching Equilibrium from Products
Reactants Products Forward Rate Reverse Rate Are Equal Are Constant Same as before

25 If you start with products all aspects of the approach to equilibrium are reversed
Products and Reverse Rate decrease Reactants and Forward Rate increases

26 Conditions Necessary for Equilibrium
Closed system Constant temperature Ea is low so the reaction is reversible
