Principles of chemical equilibrium
Central Concepts:
• Thermodynamics can predict whether
a rxn has a tendency to form products,
but it says nothing about the rate
• At constant T and P, a rxn mixture
tends to adjust its composition until its
Gibbs energy is at a minimum
Gibbs Energy vs Progress of Rxn
• Fig 7.1 (158)
• (a) does not go
• (b) equilibrium with
amount of reactants
~amount of products
• (c) goes to completion
Example Rxns
• G6P(aq)

F6P(aq)
• N2(g) + 3 H2(g)  2 NH3(g)
• Reactions are of this form: aA + bB  cC + dD
• If n is small enough, then,
G = (F6P x n) – (G6P x n) --now divide by
n
• rG = G/n = F6P – G6P
The Rxn Gibbs Energy
• rG = G/n = F6P – G6P
• rG is the difference of the chemical
potentials of the products and reactants at the
composition of the rxn mixture
• We recognize that rG is the slope of the
graph of the (changing) G vs composition of
the system (Fig 7.1, p154)
Effect of composition on rG
• Fig 7.2 (154)
• The relationship of
G to composition of
the reactions
• rG changes as n
(the composition)
changes
Reaction Gibbs energy
• Consider this reaction:
aA + bB  cC + dD
• rG = (cC + dD) – (aA + bB)
μJtμJ+ RT ln aJ 
(derived in sec 6.6)
• Chemical potential (μ) changes as [J] changes
• The criterion for chemical equilibrium at
constant T,P is:
 rG = 0

When is rG<0?
When is rG=0?
When is rG>0?
What is the significance of each?
Variation of rG with composition
For solutes in an ideal solution:
• aJ = [J]/c, the molar concentration of J
relative to the standard value c = 1 mol/dm3
For perfect gases:
• aJ = pJ/p, the partial pressure of J relative to
the standard pressure p = 1 bar
For pure solids and liquids, aJ = 1

Variation of rG with composition
• rG = (cC + dD) – (aA + bB)

• rG = {cGm(C)+dGm(D)} – {(aGm(A)+bGm(B)}

• 7.4a and 7.4b are the same

Since

Then
rG = rG + RT ln Q

• Q, arbitrary position; K, equilibrium
• 0 = rG + RT ln K and
• rG = –RT ln K
equilibrium
Equilibrium constant
• With these equations….
0 = rG + RT ln K
rG = –RT ln K
(7.8)
• We can use values of rG from a
data table to predict the equilibrium
constant
• We can measure K of a reaction and
calculate rG
Relationship between rG and K
• Fig 7.4 (157)
• Remember,
• rG = –RT ln K
• So, ln K = –
(rG/RT)
• If rG<0, then K>1;
& products
predominate at
equilibrium
• And the rxn is thermodynamically feasible
At K > 1, rG < 0
At K = 1, rG = 0
At K < 1, rG > 0
Relationship between rG and K
• On the other hand…
• If rG>0, then K<1 and the
reactants predominate at
equilibrium…
• And the reaction is not thermodynamically feasible HOWEVER….
• Products will predominate over
reactants significantly if K1 (>103)
• But even with a K<1 you may have
products formed in some rxns
Relationship between rG and K
• For an endothermic rxn to have rG<0, its
rS>0; furthermore,
• Its temperature must be high enough for its
TrS to be greater than rH
• The switch from rG>0 to rG<0
corresponds to the switch from K<1 to K>1
• This switch takes place at a temperature at
which rH - TrS = 0, OR….

4. If H is positive and S is negative, G will always
be positive—regardless of the temperature.
These two statements are an attempt to say the
same thing.
G = H – TS
1. If H is negative and S is positive, then G will
always be negative regardless of temperature.
2. If H is negative and S is negative, then G will be
negative only when TS is smaller in magnitude than
H. This condition is met when T is small.
3. If both H and S are positive, then G will be
negative only when the TS term is larger than H.
This occurs only when T is large.
4. If H is positive and S is negative, G will always be
positive—regardless of the temperature.
G = H – TS
Factors Affecting the Sign of G
Gibbs Free Energy (G)
G = H – TS
All quantities in the above equation refer to the system
For a constant-temperature process:
The change in Gibbs free energy (G)
G = Hsys – TSsys
If G is negative (G<0),
there is a release of usable energy,
and the reaction is spontaneous!
If G is positive (G>0), the reaction is not spontaneous!
18.4
Gibbs Free Energy (G)
For a constant-temperature process:
G = Hsys – TSsys
G < 0
The reaction is spontaneous in the forward direction.
G > 0
The reaction is nonspontaneous as written. The
reaction is spontaneous in the reverse direction.
G = 0
The reaction is at equilibrium.
18.4
Gibbs Free Energy (G)
The standard free-energy of reaction (G0rxn )
is the free-energy change for a reaction
when it occurs under standard-state conditions.

altitude above or

• Units of kJ/mol
The equilibrium composition
• The magnitude of K is a qualitative indicator
• If K 1 (>103) then rG < –17 kJ/mol @
25ºC, the rxn has a strong tendency to form
products
• If K 1 (<10–3) then rG > +17 kJ/mol @
25ºC, the rxn will remain mostly unchanged
reactants
• If K  1 (10–3-103), then rG is between –17
to +17 kJ/mol @ 25ºC, and the rxn will have
significant concentrations of both reactants and

Equilibrium response to conditions
• What effect will a change in temperature,
in pressure, or the presence of a catalyst
have on the equilibrium position?
• Presence of a catalyst? None. Why?
• rG is unchanged, so K is not changed
• How about a change in temperature?
• Or a change in pressure?
Let’s see…
The effect of temperature
• Fig 7.7 (163)
• rG of a rxn that
results in fewer moles
of gas increases with
increasing T
• rG of a rxn with no
net change…
• rG of a rxn that
produces more moles
of gas decreases with
increasing T
Equilibrium response to conditions
• Le Chatelier’s principle suggests
When a system at equilibrium is
compressed, the composition of
a gas-phase equilibrium adjusts
so as to reduce the number of
molecules in the gas phase

The effect of pressure
• Fig 7.9 (174)
• A change in
pressure does not
change the value
of K, but it does
have other
consequences

Chemical Potential
• Review pp.128-130, Partial molar properties
(e.g. partial molar volume)
• Read p.129, last two paragraphs
• Read handout, “Chemical Potential” by
Philip A. Candela
• Chemical potential ( ) is usually described
as the “partial molar Gibbs function” or
“partial molar Gibbs energy”
Chemical Potential
• The quantity G/n is so important that it is
given a special symbol () and its own
name (chemical potential)
• As the symbols G/n above indicate,
chemical potential is the Gibbs free energy
per mole of substance
• The chemical potential is an indication of
the potential of a substance to be
chemically active (p.130)
Excursus: Chemical Potential
• The standard chemical potential of a gas
(μJ), is identical to its standard molar
Gibbs energy (Gm) at 1 bar
• The greater the partial pressure of a gas,
the greater its chemical potential
