1 Le Chatelier’s Principle Notes
A Quick Review Thursday, May 17th, 2018

2 Le Chatelier’s Principle
If a stress is applied to a system at equilibrium, the system will change to relieve that stress and re –establish equilibrium It is like the “undo” button on your computer!

3 Factors that Affect Equilibrium
Concentration Temperature Pressure For gaseous systems only!

4 Concentration Changes
Add more reactant  Shift to products Remove reactants  Shift to reactants Add more product  Shift to reactants Remove products  Shift to products

5 Temperature Changes Exothermic Reactions
Consider heat as a product in exothermic reactions. Add heat  Shift to reactants Remove heat  Shift to products A + B  AB + Heat

6 Temperature Changes Endothermic Reactions
Consider heat as a reactant in endothermic reactions. Add heat  Shift to products Remove heat  Shift to reactants A + B + heat = AB

7 Pressure Changes Only affects equilibrium systems with unequal moles of gaseous reactants and products.

8 N2(g) + 3H2(g)  2NH3(g) Increase Pressure Stress of pressure is reduced by reducing the number of gas molecules in the container

9 N2(g) + 3H2(g)  2NH3(g) There are 4 moles of reactants vs. 2 moles of products. Thus, the reaction shifts to the product ammonia.

10 PCl5(g)  PCl3(g) + Cl2(g) Decrease Pressure
Stress of decreased pressure is reduced by increasing the number of gas molecules in the container.

11 PCl5(g)  PCl3(g) + Cl2(g) There are two product gas moles vs. one reactant gas mole. Thus, the reaction shifts to the products.

12 S8(g) + 12O2(g)  8 SO3(g) + 808 kcals
Given: S8(g) O2(g)  8 SO3(g) kcals What will happen when …… Oxygen gas is added? The reaction vessel is cooled? The size of the container is increased? Sulfur trioxide is removed?

13 S8(g) + 12O2(g)  8 SO3(g) + 808 kcals
Given: S8(g) O2(g)  8 SO3(g) kcals What will happen when …… Oxygen gas is added? Shifts right The reaction vessel is cooled? Shifts right The size of the container is increased? Increase volume, decrease pressure, moves to the left Sulfur trioxide is removed? Shifts right

14 Given: What will happen when . . . . . . . Carbon dioxide was removed?
2NaHCO3(s)  Na2CO3 (s) + H2O (g) + CO2(g) What will happen when Carbon dioxide was removed? Sodium carbonate was added? Sodium bicarbonate was removed?

15 Given: What will happen when . . . . . . .
2NaHCO3(s)  Na2CO3 (s) + H2O (g) + CO2(g) What will happen when Carbon dioxide was removed? Shifts right Sodium carbonate was added? Shifts right Sodium bicarbonate was removed? Shifts left
