Lectures 27-35
equilbirum
rate fwd = rate rev
* appears to be no change occuring
* collisions still occuring
dynamic equilbirum
rate fwd = rate rev
chemicals are consumed and made at the same rate, not necessarily the same concentration
equilbrium favors products
rxns that reach equilbirum after almost all reactant molecules are consumed
equilibrium favors reactants
rxns that reach equilbirum after a small percentage of reactant molecules are consumed
equilibrium systems are ___ and ___
dynamic
reversible
what 2 factors do not change at equilbrium in a closed system
concentration and pressure
law of mass action
if the system is at eq. at a given temp, then the ratio of product concentration and reactant concentration is constant
* k or kc
eq constant for rxns with gases
can be expressed as the ratio of the partial pressures of the gasses
which states of matter are not included in the expression of the eq constant
solids and liquids
why are solids and liquids not included in Q and k equations
their [ ] are constant
if keq = a very large number…
there is way more product than reactant
if keq = a very small number…
way more reactant than product
reaction quotient
ratio of [ ]s and/or pressures of the products and reactants in a mixture that may or may not be at equilbirum
which way does the system need to shift when Qc<Kc
right
which way does the system need to shift when Qc>Kc
left
difference between Qc and Kc
Qc is at any time during the reaction
Kc is at eq
for endothermic rxns, is heat a product or reactant
reactant
for exothermic rxns, is heat a reactant or product
product
relationship between pressure and volume
inverse
what 2 conditions regarding gases have no effect on eq
- inert gases
- moles of gas particles are equal on both sides
how does adding a catalyst effect eq and k
it does not, just makes system reach eq faster
