Chemical Equilibrium
Dr. S. M. Condren
Chemical Equilibrium
The state of a chemical reaction in
which its forward and reverse reactions
occur at equal rates so that the
concentration of the reactants and
products does not change with time.

Meaning of Equilibrium Constant
• K>>1: reaction is product-favored;
equilibrium concentrations of products are
greater than equilibrium concentrations of
reactants.
• K<<1: reaction is reactant-favored;
equilibrium concentrations of reactants are
greater than equilibrium concentrations of
products.
Dr. S. M. Condren
If K = 100 = [I2 in CCl4] / [I2 in water] for
the equilibrium
I2 in water = I2 in CCl4
What is K for the reverse reaction,
I2 in CCl4 = I2 in H2O?
100, 1, 0.01

Autoionization of Water
H2O + H2O <=> H3O+ + OH+
-
[H3O ][OH ]
K = ----------------[H2O]2
Kw = K [H2O]2 = [H3O+][OH-] = 1.0 x 10-14

Ef
The Fermi level is the energy at which the probability of finding
an electron is 50%; below the Fermi level it is more likely that
the electronic states are occupied with electrons and above
the Fermi level it is more likely they are not occupied.

Le Chatelier's Principle
If a stress, such as a change in concentration,
pressure, temperature, etc., is applied to a
system at equilibrium, the equilibrium will
shift in such a way as to lessen the effect of
the stress.

Gas Phase Equilibrium

N2(g) + 3 H2(g) <=====> 2 NH3(g) + heat
high pressure and temperature
Dr. S. M. Condren
The Principle of Le Chatelier
Changes in Concentration or Partial
Pressure
for
N2(g) + 3 H2(g)  2 NH3(g)
an increase in N2 and/or H2 concentration or
pressure, will cause the equilibrium to shift
towards the production of NH3
Dr. S. M. Condren
The Principle of Le Chatelier
Changes in Concentration or Partial
Pressure
for
N2(g) + 3 H2(g)  2 NH3(g)
likewise, a decrease in NH3 concentration or
pressure will cause more NH3 to be
produced
Dr. S. M. Condren
The Principle of Le Chatelier
Changes in Temperature
for
N2(g) + 3 H2(g)  2 NH3(g) + heat
for an exothermic reaction, an increase in
temperature will cause the reaction to shift
back towards reactants
Dr. S. M. Condren
The cobalt complexes participating in the
equilibrium below comprise a humidity
sensor. From Le Châtelier's principle, when
the sensor is moist (excess H2O), what color
is the cobalt complex?
pink, blue
Dr. S. M. Condren
A competition experiment involves O2 and CO
vying for hemoglobin (Hb) sites, defined by the
equilibrium
Hb(O2)4 + 4 CO = Hb(CO)4 + 4O2
From Le Châtelier's principle, how is CO
poisoning reversed?
decrease O2 pressure, increase O2 pressure, remove Hb
Dr. S. M. Condren
Heterogeneous Equilibrium
CaCO3(s) + heat <===> CaO(s) + CO2(g)
