The Equilibrium State
All reactions are reversible and under suitable conditions will reach astate of equilibrium.
At equilibrium, the concentrations of products and reactants nolonger change because the rates of the forward and reverse reactionsare equal.
At equilibrium: rateforward = ratereverse
Chemical equilibrium is a dynamic state because reactions continueto occur, but because they occur at the same rate, no net change isobserved on the macroscopic level.

The Equilibrium ConstantConsider the reaction: N2O4(g) −−⇀↽−− 2 NO2(g)
At equilibrium
rateforward = ratereverse

K and the extent of reaction
K reflects a particular ratio of product concentrations to reactantconcentrations for a reaction.
K therefore indicates the extent of a reaction, i.e., how far a reactionproceeds towards the products at a given temperature.
A small value for K indicates that the reaction yields little productbefore reaching equilibrium. The reaction favors the reactants.
A large value for K indicates that the reaction reaches equilibriumwith very little reactant remaining. The reaction favors the products.

Alternative forms of the equilibrium constant
1. If a chemical equation is multiplied by a constant, its equilibriumconstant should be raised to that number as exponent.
2. The equilibrium constant of the reverse reaction is the inverse ofthe equilibrium constant of the forward reaction
3. If a chemical equation can be expressed as the sum of two ormore equations, the equilibrium constant of the overall reaction isthe product of the equilibrium constant of the individual “steps”.

The value of Q indicates the direction in which a reaction mustproceed to reach equilibrium.
If Q < K , the reactants must increase and the products decrease;reactants −−→ products until equilibrium is reached.
If Q > K , the reactants must decrease and the products increase;products −−→ reactants until equilibrium is reached.

The Response of Equilibria toChanges in Conditions
Dynamic equilibria respond to the change in conditions. If we add orremove reactants or products, the reaction will be displaced fromequilibrium and there will be then a direction of spontaneous changeuntil de system is restored to the equilibrium position.
Also changes in the pressure and the temperature will displace theposition of the equilibrium.

Effect of the temperature
The effect of the temperature onan equilibrium depends on whichis the direction heat is absorbed(endothermic) or given away(exothermic).In an equilibrium, an increase inthe temperature will favor thedirection of the endothermicreaction.This changes happen through achange in the value of theequilibrium constant.

The Reaction QuotientIn order to find a quantitative indication of how far a system is fromequilibrium, we define the reaction quotient Q.
It has the same algebraic expression that is used for the equilibriumconstant, but the concentrations (or partial pressures) substituted arearbitrary and not necessarily those of the equilibrium condition.
For the generic reaction
aA + bB � cC + dD
the reaction quotient is
Q =cc
CcdD
caAcb

The Reaction Quotient
If Q = K, the reaction is in equilibrium.
If Q > K, the system is not in equilibrium. It will move spontaneouslytowards equilibrium by making more reactants, the reverse reaction isfavored.
If Q < K, the system is not in equilibrium. It will move spontaneouslytowards equilibrium by making more product, the forward reaction isfavored.
