Write
the equilibrium expression
for:
H2(g) + I2(g) 2 HI(g)
C(s) +
O2(g) 2 CO(g)
Problem
What is the equilibrium constant for the
following reaction if the concentrations are
[H2]=[I2]= 0.0033 M and [HI]= 0.0099M?
H2(g)
+ I2(g) 2 HI(g)
Does
the equilibrium lie to the left or
right?
Equilibrium expression
N2O4(g) 2 NO2(g)
Kp=
Kc vs KP
These will have different values since
Kp = Kc(RT)n
Where R = 0.08206 (L atm)/(K mol)
And T = temperature in K
And n = change in moles of gas
Practice
2 SO3(g) ↔ 2 SO2(g) + O2(g)
Kc = 4.08 E -3
What is the Kp expression?
What is the value for Kp?
T = 300 K
The Meaning of K…
What can you say about the amount of
(concentration or pressure) reactant or
product if:
K is much larger than 1?
K is much smaller than 1?
K is equal to 1?

For the reaction:
N2(g) + O2(g) ↔ 2 NO(g)
What is the equilibrium expression?
If Kc at 25o C is 1.00 E -30, is this a good
method to ‘fix’ nitrogen?
Practice
For the reaction:
H2(g) + I2(g) ↔ 2 HI(g)
Kc = 794 at 298K
Kc = 54 at 700 K
Which temperature is favored to produce
HI? Why?
Direction for equilibrium
For the reaction:
H2(g) + I2(g) ↔ 2 HI(g)
Kc = 794 at 298K
Write the K expression.
Write the K expression for the reverse
reaction.
What is the value of K for the reverse
reaction?

Write Kc

Knowing what you do about solubility, would
you expect the value of K to be high or
low?
Practice
Write the equilibrium constant expressions
for Kc and Kp for:
CO2(g) + H2(g) ↔ CO(g) + H2O(l)
SnO2(s) + 2CO(g) ↔ Sn(s) + 2CO2(g)
Calculations
For the reaction:
2NO2Cl(g) ↔ 2NO2(g) + Cl2(g)
Write the K expression.
If [NO2Cl] = 0.00106 M and [NO2] = 0.0108
M and [Cl2] = 0.00538 M, what is the value
of Kc at 500. K?
Kc = 0.558
A mixture of 5.000 E-3 mole of hydrogen
and 1.000 E-2 mole of iodine are placed in
a 5.000 L container at 448 degrees C and
allowed to come to equilibrium. At
equilibrium, [HI] = 1.87 E-3 M. Calculate
Kc for the reaction:
H2(g) + I2(g) < -- > 2HI(g)

Calculate the known initial and

Calculate the change in concentration
that occurs
Use stoichiometry to calculate the
changes in concentration for all other

Calculate the desired item from the ICE
box data.
Sulfur trioxide decomposes at high
temperature to form sulfur dioxide and
oxygen. Initially, a container at 1000 K
has a sulfur trioxide concentration of 6.09
E-3 M. At equilibrium the [SO3] = 2.44 E-3
M. Calculate the value of Kc at 1000 K.
The reaction Quotient…
If you put a mixture of 1.25 mol of
hydrogen, 0.880 mol of nitrogen, and 1.50
mol of ammonia in a 1.25 L container, will
the reaction move to the right or left or is it
at equilibrium? Kc = 0.105
N2(g) + 3 H2(g) 2 NH3(g)
Calculate ‘Q’ – the reaction quotient.
Calculated the same way as Kc – but just
the ‘question’, ‘Q’.
Compare to Kc.

If Q > K
If Q = K
If Q < K

Remember… K = Products
Reactants
Q > K This means there are
too many ________

For the Haber process,
N2(g) + 3 H2(g) 2 NH3(g)
Kp = 1.45 E-5 at 500 oC. In an equilibrium
mixture of the three gases at 500 oC, the partial
pressure of H2 is 0.928 atm and that of N2 is
0.432 atm. What is the partial pressure of NH3
in this equilibrium mixture?
