Chemical Equilibrium
In systems that are in equilibrium, reverse processes are happening at the same time and at the same rate.
Rate forward = Rate reverse This is called “dynamic equilibrium,”
because there is no net change, yet individual molecules are constantly changing.

Reverse Reactions
A reaction in which the products can react to re-form the reactants is called a reversible reaction.

Reversible Reactions Example:
N2O4(g) → 2 NO2(g)
And
2 NO2(g) → N2O4(g)

Reversible Reactions Notice that in all cases, there is more N2O4
than NO2 at equilibrium.
We can say N2O4 is favored at equilibrium

Equilibrium Constant Expressions Whether reactants or products are favored
at equilibrium is quantified by the equilibrium constant, K.
When K > 1, products are favored. When K < 1, reactants are favored. For N2O4(g) ⇌ 2 NO2(g)
K = 4.6 x 10-3 or 0.0046
4.6 x 10-3 < 1, therefore reactants (N2O4) favored at equilibrium

Shifting Equilibria An equilibrium system can be
manipulated to proceed forward or in reverse.
This is summarized by Le Châtelier’s Principle:– If a stress is applied to a system at equilibrium,
the system will react in the direction (forward or in reverse) that relieves the stress.
![Page 20: Chemical Equilibrium. n In systems that are in equilibrium, reverse processes are happening at the same time and at the same rate. n Rate forward = Rate](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070414/5697c01e1a28abf838cd11ef/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Shifting Equilibria Possible stresses:
–Changing concentrations of reactants or products
–Changing the pressure–Changing the temperature
![Page 21: Chemical Equilibrium. n In systems that are in equilibrium, reverse processes are happening at the same time and at the same rate. n Rate forward = Rate](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070414/5697c01e1a28abf838cd11ef/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Shifting Equilibria Collision Theory:
– In order for a reaction to happen, molecules must collide with enough energy to react.
– In an equilibrium system, both the forward and the reverse reaction can happen depending on the conditions.
– When the forward rate exceeds the reverse rate, the reaction will proceed forward.
– When the reverse rate exceeds the forward rate, the reaction will proceed in reverse.
![Page 22: Chemical Equilibrium. n In systems that are in equilibrium, reverse processes are happening at the same time and at the same rate. n Rate forward = Rate](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070414/5697c01e1a28abf838cd11ef/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Changing ConcentrationA + B ⇌ C + D
An increase in [A] will increase the number of collisions of A with B, and the reaction will shift right (forward direction)
Similarly, an increase in [C] will increase the number of collisions of C with D, and the reaction will shift left (reverse direction)
![Page 23: Chemical Equilibrium. n In systems that are in equilibrium, reverse processes are happening at the same time and at the same rate. n Rate forward = Rate](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070414/5697c01e1a28abf838cd11ef/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Changing ConcentrationA + B ⇌ C + D
A decrease in [A] will decrease the number of collisions of A with B, and the reaction will shift left (reverse direction)
Similarly, a decrease in [C] will decrease the number of collisions of C with D, and the reaction will shift right (forward direction)
![Page 24: Chemical Equilibrium. n In systems that are in equilibrium, reverse processes are happening at the same time and at the same rate. n Rate forward = Rate](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070414/5697c01e1a28abf838cd11ef/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Changing ConcentrationA + B ⇌ C + D
Changing the concentrations do NOT affect the value of the equilibrium constant K
The ratio of products to reactants will be the same at equilibrium, even if the values of concentrations change during the shift.
![Page 25: Chemical Equilibrium. n In systems that are in equilibrium, reverse processes are happening at the same time and at the same rate. n Rate forward = Rate](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070414/5697c01e1a28abf838cd11ef/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Changing ConcentrationN2(g) + 3 H2(g) ⇌ 2 NH3(g)
• After adding NH3, the reaction proceeds in reverse to reestablish equilibrium.
• NH3 is consumed.
• H2 and N2 are created.
![Page 26: Chemical Equilibrium. n In systems that are in equilibrium, reverse processes are happening at the same time and at the same rate. n Rate forward = Rate](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070414/5697c01e1a28abf838cd11ef/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Changing PressureA(g) ⇌ 2B(g)
A change in pressure will only affect equilibria in which gases are involved.
For a change in pressure to have an effect, the total moles of gas on the reactants side must be different from the total moles of gas on the products side.
![Page 27: Chemical Equilibrium. n In systems that are in equilibrium, reverse processes are happening at the same time and at the same rate. n Rate forward = Rate](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070414/5697c01e1a28abf838cd11ef/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Changing PressureA(g) ⇌ 2B(g)
Increasing pressure will create a shift toward the side that has fewer total moles of gas.
By decreasing the total moles of gas, the pressure stress will be relieved.
![Page 28: Chemical Equilibrium. n In systems that are in equilibrium, reverse processes are happening at the same time and at the same rate. n Rate forward = Rate](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070414/5697c01e1a28abf838cd11ef/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Changing PressureA(g) ⇌ 2B(g)
Increasing pressure will shift the reaction to the left.
B will be consumed, A will be created, and the pressure will be relieved.
![Page 29: Chemical Equilibrium. n In systems that are in equilibrium, reverse processes are happening at the same time and at the same rate. n Rate forward = Rate](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070414/5697c01e1a28abf838cd11ef/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Changing PressureA(g) ⇌ 2B(g)
Decreasing pressure will create a shift toward that side that has more total moles of gas.
By increasing the total moles of gas, the pressure stress will be relieved.

Changing PressureA(g) ⇌ 2B(g)
Decreasing pressure will shift the reaction to the right.
B will be created, A will be consumed, and the pressure will be relieved.

Changing liquids and solids Changing the amount of liquid or solid in
an equilibrium system will have NO EFFECT on the equilibrium position, because liquids and solids do NOT appear in the equilibrium constant K expression.
![Page 33: Chemical Equilibrium. n In systems that are in equilibrium, reverse processes are happening at the same time and at the same rate. n Rate forward = Rate](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070414/5697c01e1a28abf838cd11ef/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Changing Temperature Reversible reactions are exothermic in
one direction and endothermic in the opposite direction.
That is, they give off heat in one direction and absorb heat in the opposite direction.
![Page 34: Chemical Equilibrium. n In systems that are in equilibrium, reverse processes are happening at the same time and at the same rate. n Rate forward = Rate](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070414/5697c01e1a28abf838cd11ef/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Changing Temperature According to Le Châtelier’s principle,
adding heat (increasing the temperature) will create a shift so that heat is absorbed.
This favors the endothermic reaction. Removal of heat favors the exothermic
reaction.
![Page 35: Chemical Equilibrium. n In systems that are in equilibrium, reverse processes are happening at the same time and at the same rate. n Rate forward = Rate](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070414/5697c01e1a28abf838cd11ef/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Changing Temperature Treat heat like you would a reactant or
product, and think about it like changing concentration shifts.
Example: CO + 2 H2 ⇌ CH3OH is exothermic (gives off heat)
Rewrite: CO + 2 H2 ⇌ CH3OH + heat– Increasing temperature is adding
heat, will shift the reaction to the left.– Decreasing temperature is removing
heat, will shift the reaction to the right.
