Equilibrium Flashcards
Henry’s law
Mass of a gas dissolved in a given mass of solvent at any temp is prop to pressure of gas above solvent
Character of equilibrium
- Possible on in closed system
- Both the opposing processes occur at same rate
- All measurable qualities remain const
Eq. mixture
Mixture of reactants & products in eq state
Eq equation also known as
Law of mass action
Law of chemical eq
At a temp, product of conc of products raised to their stoichio coeff divided by product of conc of reactants raise to their stoichio coeff is a const
Homogeneous system
Reactants & products are in same phase
Delta n =
No of moles of (products -reactants)
Features of eq const
- Applicable only when conc of reactants & products have constant value at eq
- Independent of initial conc
- Temp dependant
- Eq const for Reverse reaction = eq const for forward reaction
Applications of eq const
- Predict extrnt of reaction based on its magnitude
- Predict direction of reaction
- Calc eq conc
If K(c) > 10³
P > R
If K(c) < 10^-3
R > P
If Q(c) > K(c)
Dir of R
If Q(c) < K(c)
Dir of P
If delta G is -ve
Fd dir
Le chatelier’s principle
Change in any factor that determine eq of a system will cause the system to change to reduce & counteract the change
Effect of pressure change on eq
A pressure change obtained by changing volume can affect yield of products where total no of moles of reactants & products are diff
If volume is halved, partial pressure & conc
Doubles
Effect of inert gas
Addition of it at const volume doesn’t change Laotian pressure or conc
Eq const for exothermic when temp increases
Decreases(-ve delta H)
