Keq
Equilibrium Constant
Equilibrium Expression
Product of Products (raised to coefficient powers)
OVER
Product of Reactants (raised to coefficient powers)
Given: reaction is at equilibrium
Given: Keq > 1
Which side is favored: products or reactants?
PRODUCTS
If K > 1, Products are greater percentage of system
(If K < 1, Reactants are greater percentage of system)

I
C
E
Reaction
Initial concentrations
Change in concentrations
Equilibrium concentrations
If Q = Keq
Reaction is at equilibrium
If Q > Keq
Reaction is NOT at equilibrium
Reaction will proceed towards equilibrium by shifting Left
(If Q is BIG, products are big. Products are STRESSED.)
If Q < Keq
Reaction is NOT at equilibrium
Reaction will proceed towards equilibrium by shifting RIGHT
(If Q is small, products are small. Reactants are STRESSED.)
Law of Mass Action
ICE equations
I plus C equals E
LeChatelier’s Principle
A change in conditions will STRESS one side of reaction.
Equilibrium will shift in to OTHER side.
What species are NOT included in equilibrium expression (Keq equation)?
Pure solids and pure liquids
First step in solving ICE problem
Balance chemical reaction!
Second step in solving RICE/ICE problem
Fill out RICE table
Figure out knowns and unknowns, including Keq
Third step in solving RICE/ICE problems
Write down equations (I+C=E & Keq)
Confirm # of knowns = # of unknowns
Solve for WHAT IS ASKED FOR!!
NH4Cl(s) ⇔ NH3(g) + HCl(g)
An increase in NH3(g) concentration put into the system STRESSES which side?
