If a system at equilibrium is subjected to a change in conditions that disturb the equilibrium system, the system will proceed to a new equilibrium state in such a direction to partially offset the change in condition.
LE CHATELIER’S PRINCIPLE
Le Chatelier’s Principle implies to
minimize the stress in response to the change in the system
REMEMBER:
PV = nRT
where
n = number of moles
R = constant
T = temperature
Relationship of Pressure to Volume
Inversely proportional
IN A CLOSED CONDITION
THE MATTER CAN’T ESCAPE.
THE ENERGY CAN ESCAPE.
no change in volume:
_________ effect in inert gas
NO EFFECT IN INERT GAS
Change in volume: ______________ NUMBER OF PARTICLES
LOWER THE NUMBER OF PARTICLES
EXOTHERMIC
release heat
ENDOTHERMIC
absorb heat
It speeds up the backward and forward reaction
CATALYST
Equilibrium constant
Keq = [D]^d [C]^c
______________
[A]^a [B]^b
Characteristics of K
- REACTION SPECIFIC
- CATALYST
- FACTORS (concentration; pressure; inert gas; temperature; catalyst)
- RELATED TO THE GIBBS FREE ENERGY
ΔG = -RTlnKeq - Keq changes with Temperature
- Krev= 1/ Keq
- IF THE STOICH IS CHANGED, THE K CHANGES IN THE FF:
A+B = C Keq
3A + 3B = 3C 3 Keq - IF REACTION PROCEEDS IN A STEPWISE MANNER
- SIMULATANEOUS REACTION
