• R P• Equilibrium lies to right (favors

products or forward rxn)

• R P

• Equilibrium lies to left (favors

reactants or reverse rxn )

• A<---->B

• kf [A] = kr [B]

• kf/kr= [B]/[A]

• k(eq) =[B]/[A]

• k(eq) = equilibrium constant

aA+ bB <-------> cC + dD• R and P are either g or aq

• Equilibrium expression

• K (eq) = [C]c[D]d = [products]

• [A]a[B]b [reactants]

• solids and liquids are not included in expression• If the only product is a solid or liquid- substitute the

number 1 for concentration

\• If K eq > 1000 (103) lot more products • equilibrium lies to the right• if K eq is greater than 105 the reaction essentially

goes to completion• The larger the K eq, the more the products are favored

• If K eq < 10-3 lot more reactants• equilibrium lies to the left• A very very small Keq indicates that the reaction does

not take place.• The smaller the Keq the more the reactants are

favored

PCl5(g) PCl3(g) + Cl2(g)

• K (eq) = 2.2 x 10-2

If concentrations are:

[PCl5 ] = 2.1 x10 -2

[PCl3 ] = 2.0 x10 -1

[Cl2 ] = 2.0 x10 -1

Is the reaction at equilibrium?If not, which way does it need to shift?

Le Chatelier’s Principle

• If a reaction at equilibrium is disturbed, the reaction returns to equilibrium by shifting in such a direction as to partially undo (oppose) the disturbance.

• New concentrations (equilibrium positions) are established, but the K(eq) remains the same

• K(eq) only changes when temperature changes
