General Chemistry revisitedA(g) + B(g) C(g) + D(g)
We said that G = H –TSh H H(C) + H(D) H(A) H(B)where, eg, H = fH(C) + fH(D) - fH(A) - fH(B)
G < 0 implied spontaneous to rightG > 0 implied spontaneous to left
In a very unconnected way, we discussed the equilibrium
A(g) + B(g) C(g) + D(g)with equilibrium constant C D

We talked about the reaction proceeding in both directions to establish equilibrium.

ie, proceeding both when ΔG < 0 and when ΔG > 0 !!!

We said that ΔG = ΔH –T ΔSWe said that ΔG ΔH T ΔSwhere, eg, ΔH = ΔfH(C) + ΔfH(D) - ΔfH(A) - ΔfH(B)ΔG < 0 implied spontaneous to rightΔG > 0 impli d sp nt n us t l ftΔG > 0 implied spontaneous to left
The description above basically treats A B C and D as pure componentsSo where is equilibrium? What’s wrong?
The description above basically treats A,B, C and D as pure componentsthat never mix. That is to say, as though the composition is constant.This has to be made more sophisticated if we are to couple this conceptwith that of equilibrium.with that of equilibrium.
We now know about chemical potentials and molar Gibbs energies,so that we can follow G as the composition changes, gaining a muchmore sophisticated viewpoint
We now do just that!

Effects of Changes on EquilibriaEff f g EqThe Le Chatelier Principle results from consideration of the effects of temperature pressure or quantity the effects of temperature, pressure or quantity changes on an equilibrium constant. E.g.,
2 NO2 (g) N2O4 (g)The reaction shifts to the left when the # moles of N2O4 is increased
2 NO2 (g) N2O4 (g)
of N2O4 is increased.The reaction shifts to the right when the total pressure is increased.
We now consider in a bit more detail pressure and temperature effects on equilibria.p q(Reasons that we might do this include having tests forequilibrium, and to have ways to measure H or S.)
Effects of Pressure on EquilibriaEff f Eq
G° = –RT ln K°PWe know PΔG is defined at P = P = 1 bar, and so it is independent of pressure. (ideal gases assumed)

There are three ways that one could imagine changing the pressure:a) Add an inert gas to the reaction mixtureb) Change the volume of the reaction mixtureb) Change the volume of the reaction mixturec) Change the quantity of one of the components (eg, A,B, Y or Z in above)
Take a brief look at each of them.

Changing the volume can have an effect if the number of moles of gas on the left and right sides of the equation are different.

o = 2.84 104 at 298 K. A reaction flask is filled to a pressure of 1.0 bar with gases at the following partial pressures: P(NH3) = 0.10 bar, P(O2) = 0.10 bar, P(H2O) = 0.60 bar, and P(N2) = 0.20 bar. The gases are well mixed. You may further assume that the total pressure of the reaction flask is maintained constant, the gases behave ideally, and standard state corresponds to partial pressures of 1 bar of all gases.Compared with the initial composition will the flask contain fewer reactants or Compared with the initial composition, will the flask contain fewer reactants or fewer products when it reaches equilibrium?
