Definition - Equilibrium
Reversible Reaction – A chemical reaction that can c e ca eact o t at caproceed in both directions (represented by a “ ”).

Establishing EquilibriumIt takes time to establish equilibrium.
At first, there are only reactants present. Only the forward reaction is possible.
Reactants Products

Forward rate slows and reverse rate increases until they are the same.Once the rate of the forward and reverse process are equal, it is at equilibrium.When equilibrium is established, the number of products and reactants doesn’t change…but the reaction keeps going.
Definition - Dynamic Equilibrium
Dynamic Equilibrium – The reaction continues to proceed in both directions, but at the same rate.

Concentrations of Solids and Liquids Pure solids and pure liquids have constant “concentrations”.
If concentration (Molarity) = molelitersliters
And Density = gramsliters
And Molar Mass = gramsmole
Th f lid li id M l it grams / liters
13/66
Then for a pure solid or liquid, Molarity = grams / litersgrams / mole
Or, Molarity = Density .Molar Mass
Both Density and Molar Mass are constants—they don’t change. Therefore, “concentration” of a pure solid or liquid is a constant.
“K” Expressions with Solids or Liquids
How does this affect the writing of Equilibrium Constant Expressions?
If the “concentration” of a pure solid or liquid is constant, then it will not change during equilibrium and it is not written in the “K” expression.

Meaning of Equilibrium Constant
What general meaning can you get from the magnitude of the equilibrium constant?
If K is very large… [Products][Reactants]
There is a much larger ratio of products to reactants at equilibrium.
The reaction is said to “lie to the right” (products are on the right).
If K is very small [Products]
16/66
If K is very small… [Products]
[Reactants]
There is a much smaller ratio of products to reactants at equilibrium.
The reaction is said to “lie to the left”.

Using Reaction QuotientReaction Quotient is used to determine if a system is at equilibrium…and if it’s not, which way does it need to go to get there.

Breaking Compounds into Electrolytes
How do you break up a compound when forming electrolytes?
Do not break up polyatomic ions1
Example: Break up the following strong electrolytes:
Use subscripts that are not a part of a polyatomic ion as coefficients2

Using Reaction Quotient with Solubility
Reaction Quotient can be used to determine if a solution is saturated or not.
[dissolved ions now] = Qsp [dissolved ions at saturation]=Ksp
Qsp = Ksp [now] = [equilibrium] Equilibrium (saturated solution)
Q > K Too many ions Solution will be saturated. Extra ions will precipitate
29/66
Q > K dissolved back out (go back to the solid form)
Q < K Too few ions dissolved System is not saturated (it could hold more)
Using Reaction Quotient with Ksp
Example: Is a solution of Mg(OH)2 saturated if 1.8×10-4 M Mg2+ and 3.0×10-4 M OH- is present? Ksp is 8.9×10-12

Example: Which way will the reaction shift for each of the following changes:
2 SO (g) + O (g) 2 SO (g) an exothermic reaction
No change (it’s an inert gas)
No change (it s a solid)
(Adding a product)
(Goes to side with least gas moles)
55/66
2 SO2 (g) + O2 (g) 2 SO3 (g) an exothermic reaction
Increasing volume
Raising temperature
Adding O2
Removing SO2
(Goes to side with most gas moles)
(Energy is a product)
(Adding a reactant)
(Removing a reactant)
When companies need to make large amounts of product, a reaction with a very small K is a problem.
Le Chatelier in Industry
Small K Small ratio of products to reactants
Lots of reactants left over (wasting money) and few products made (not making money)

They can push the reaction towards the products.
e.g. Remove the products as they’re made, adjust pressure or temperature as needed to push it to the right.

The reaction to produce ammonia, NH3, is very important to manufacturing.
Haber Process
N + 3 H 2 NH (an exothermic reaction)
In order for the reaction to occur at a reasonable rate, the temperature must be very high.
N2 + 3 H2 2 NH3 (an exothermic reaction)
But when the temperature is high, the equilibrium constant is very low.
57/66
A compromise is made and a catalyst is added to increase the rate at the lower temperature.
The reaction yields 20%...the leftover reactants are recycled and put back into the reaction again.

Equilibrium in the Exam
The first free response question is always ilib i
Common equilibrium problems:
equilibrium:
Either K, Ksp, Ka, or Kb (Ka and Kb are in the next tutorial)
Determine the solubility or solubility product
Determine equilibrium concentrations given K
59/66
Determine K given equilibrium concentrations
Use Q to determine which way a reaction will proceed
Use Le Chatelier’s Principle to determine which way a reaction will proceed
Multiple Choice QuestionsOccasionally, equilibrium is found in the multiple choice section.
Example: Which is the correct equilibrium constant expression for HOBr (aq) H+ (aq) + OBr- (aq)?
A. [HOBr] / [H+][OBr-]B. [H+][OBr-] / [HOBr]C. [H+] / [HOBr]D. [OBr-] / [HOBr]E. None of the above

Free Response Questions
At 25°C the value of Ksp for PbCl is 1 6 10-5 and the value
The equilibrium free response question is often about solubility.
At 25°C, the value of Ksp for PbCl2 is 1.6 × 10-5 and the value of Ksp for AgCl is 1.8 × 10-10.
A. If 30.0 mL of 0.060 M NaCl is added to 30 mL of 0.030 M Pb(NO3)2, will a precipitate form. Assume that the volumes are additive.
B. Calculate the equilibrium value of [Pb+2] in a saturated solution of PbCl2.

Answering Free Response QuestionsAt 25°C, the value of Ksp for PbCl2 is 1.6 × 10-5 and the value
of Ksp for AgCl is 1.8 × 10-10.A. If 30.0 mL of 0.060 M NaCl is added to 30 mL of 0.030 M
Pb(NO3)2, will a precipitate form. Assume that the ( 3)2, p pvolumes are additive.
New volume = 60 mL
New [NaCl] = 30 mL × 0.060 M / 60 mL = 0.030 M
New [Pb(NO3)2] = 30 mL × 0.030 M / 60 mL = 0.015 M
PbCl Pb+2 + 2 Cl-1
62/66
PbCl2 Pb + 2 Cl
Q = [Pb+2][Cl-1]2
Q = (0.015 M)(0.030 M)2 = 1.35 × 10-5
Q < K, it will not precipitate out
