o If you recall, we mentioned that there
are rxns that bounce back and forthfrom forming products to reformingreactants
A.K.A. reversible rxnso Reversible reactions occur simultan-
eously in both directions
An example of a reversible rxninvolves reactants A and B producingC.

oAt chemical equilibrium there is no net
change in the actual amounts of thecomponents of the system.
And although the rates of the forward
& reverse rxns are equalat chemicalequilibrium, the concentrations of thecomponents on both sides of the chem-ical eqn are not necessarily the same.
In fact they can be dramaticallydifferent.

o Consider a set of escalators as beinglike the double arrows in a dynamic
equilibrium.o The # of people using the up escalator
must be the same as the # of peopleusing the down escalator for equilibriumto have been established
However, the # of peopleupstairs do not have to
equal the # of peopledownstairs
Just the transfer between
floors must be consistent

o The equilibrium position of a rxn is
given by the concentrations of thesystems components at equilibrium
o The equilibrium position indicates
whether the components on the left orright side of a reversible rxn are at ahigher concentration.
If A reacts to give B and the mixture atequilibrium contains more of B say1% of A vs. 99% of Bthe formation ofB is said to be favored.
Which Direction is Favored?

o On the other hand, if the mixture
contains 99% of A and 1% of B atequilibrium then the formation of A isfavored.
Reversedirection is
favored!
Forwarddirection isfavored!

o In principle, almost all rxns are
reversible to some extent under theright conditions
o In practice, one set of components is
often so favored at equilibrium that theother set cannot be detected. If one set of components has
established equilibrium by converting
mostly into products, the rxn has goneto completion
When no products can be detected,you can say there is no rxn

o Reversible rxns occupy a middle
ground between the theoreticalextremes of irreversibility and no rxn.
o The addition of a catalyst will speed
up forward and reverse rxns equally By reducing the energy needed to
activate the rxn in both forward andreverse directions.
Does not effect the amount of reactantsand products present at equilibrium;simply decreases the time it takes toestablish equilibrium

Equilibrium Expressiono Chemists can express the equilibrium
position in terms of a numericalconstant The equilibrium constant shows the
relationship between the amount ofproduct and reactant at equilibrium
o Consider this hypothetical rxnaA + bB cC + dD

o We can write an expression to show
the ratio of product concentrations toreactant concentrations called amassaction expression
Equilibrium Expression
[C]c [D]d
[A]a [B]b
o The conc of each substance is raised
to a power equal to the # of mols ofthat substance in the balanced rxn eqn.

o The constant is dependent on the temp If the temp changes so does the
constant
Equilibrium Expression
NOTE: water and solid materials are not
included in mass action
o The resulting ratio of the equilibrium is
called theequilibrium constant or Keq, When the reactants and products
amnts are in molarity the constant iscalled a K
c
When the reactants andproducts amounts are inpressure units is called
a Kp
Keq= [C]c [D]d

o Equilibrium constants provide valuable
chemical informationo They show whether the products
or the reactantsare favored in a rxn
(spontaneus or nonspontaneous) always written as a ratio ofproducts
over reactants
a value ofKeq > 1means that productsare favored
Keq < 1than reactants are favored

o Molarity is a measure of how much
stuff is dissolved in water. The more stuff dissolved,
the more concentrated the solution
The higher the molarity

Sample Problem 1Dinitrogen tetroxide (N2O4), a
colorless gas, and nitrogen dioxide(NO2), a brown gas, exist in
equilibrium with each other according
to the following eqn:N2O4(g) 2NO2(g)A 1.0 liter of gas mixture at 10C atequilibrium contains .0045 mol N2O4
& .030 mol NO2. Write the mass actionexpression and calculate Kc for the rxn.

o Known:
[N2O4] =.0045 mol/1.0 L
[NO2] =.030 mol/1.0 L
o Unknown: Mass action expression = ?
Kc = ?
Analyze: list what we know
oAt equil, there is no net change in theamount of N2O4 or NO2 at any giveninstant

The only product of the rxn is NO2,
which has a coefficient of 2 in thebalanced eqn
The only reactant N2O4 has acoefficient of 1 in the balanced eqn

o We can also determine if a reaction has
reached equilibrium by calculating areaction quotient (Q). Its like taking a snapshot of a reaction
at a given time and interpreting how faralong the reaction is.
o Once the reaction quotient is solved,it is compared to the equilibrium
constant The following picture helps us decide
how to interpret the direction the
reaction will continue.

o Q = 2.94 which is < Keq (55)
o If Q < Keq then the numeratorof our quotient must increase
therefore the rxn continues in order
to increase [products] until it reaches

Manipulating theEquilibriumo There is a principle that can be studiedto govern changes in equilibriumLe ChateliersPrinciple.
o Le Chateliers Principle states:
If a stress is applied to a systemin dynamic equilibrium, thesystemchanges to relieve the stress.
Stresses are changes in temperature,
pressure, concentration of reactants,or concentration of products

oAdjusting the concentrations of either
reactants or products can havedramatic impact on the equilibrium
If we add more of reactant A to asystem at equilibrium the system willstrive to reestablish equilibrium at anew equilibrium position.
The reaction will push to use up the
extra A and generate more C
Concentration & Equilibrium
A + 2B C H= - 250 kJ
[A], rxn will shift toward products

o The impact of temperature changes on
an equilibrium is dependent on if theprocess is endothermic or exothermic
Endothermic processes use energy asa reactant, while exothermic processesproduce energy
Keq is temperature dependent
Temp effects on Equilibrium
A + 2B C H= - 250 kJ
250 kJ is a product
If T, the equilibrium shifts left

o If A, B, and C are all gases, then the
equil they establish is pressuredependent
o When the pressure is increased,the system relieves the pressure byfavoring the direction thatproducesfewer gas molecules. Pressure is # of particles dependent,
the more particles the higher thepressure
Fewer gas molecules will exertlesspressure.

o Conversely, a decrease in pressure will
favor the rxn that produces the mostmolecules
So we have a shift to theleft
