1

Conditions required to reach equilibrium? (2)

1) closed system (no matter enters or leaves, but energy can go in or out

2) reactants and products present

New cards
2

Equilibrium:

Constant macroscopic properties

New cards
3

Equilibrium: solids (rare)

-Constant mass

New cards
4

Equilibrium: liquids *common example

- pure

- constant mass or volume

- esterification (organic reaction)

New cards
5

Fluid Equilibrium questions mass

-Always constant mass if at equilibrium or not*

-does not tell you if it's at equilibrium due to conservation of mass

New cards
6

Reasons why reactions don't go to completion:

- rates of collision theory

- think of mr. Hopes night club analogy

New cards
7

Rates (collision theory): in order to effectively react reactants:

1) must be collisions

A) concentrations

B) anything to alter the # of collisions

2) must collide often

3) effectiveness of collision (activation energy)

New cards
8

Equilibrium

RXN rate forward = RXN rate reversed

- reactions proceed in both directions at equilibrium at the same rate once equilibrium has been reached

New cards
9

Pressure is

Particles hitting the walls of the container

New cards
10

Law of chemical equilibrium

- in a chemical system at equilibrium, there is a constant ratio between the (concentration) of the products and the concentrations of the reactants

New cards
11

23

Not usually equal

New cards
24

What number should you get if: neither products or reactants are favourited

K= 1

New cards
25

What number should you get if: reactants are favoured

K < 1

New cards
26

What number should you get if: products are favoured

K > 1

New cards
27

The Keq tells us

When a chemical reaction had reached equilibrium.

New cards
28

The equilibrium constant is a comparison between

the equilibrium concentrations of the products and the equilibrium concentrations of the reactants.

New cards
29

K expression=?

Q expression= ?

K expression= at EQ already

Q expression= at some point during the reaction

New cards
30

When initiating a chemical reaction, we mixed various concentrations of reactants and products. It can be useful to know the direction in which the system will shift. To determine this we use?

The reaction quotient, Q.

The reaction quotient is derived by using the initial concentration do the products.

New cards
31

To determine in which direction a system will shift to reach equilibrium, we can compare the values of K vs Q. There are three possible cases. 1) Q=K

Q=K, the system is in equilibrium and no shift will occur

New cards
32

To determine in which direction a system will shift to reach equilibrium, we can compare the values of K vs Q. There are three possible cases. 2) Q>K

Q>K, the ratio of initial concentration of products to reactants is to large. This means there are more products, than reactants in the reaction mixture. The equilibrium will shift the reaction to less the amount of products. *The reverse reaction will be favoured

New cards
33

To determine in which direction a system will shift to reach equilibrium, we can compare the values of K vs Q. There are three possible cases.

3) Q

Q

New cards
34

Chatellier's principle (qualitative)

- if a stress is placed on a system in equilibrium, the system will shift to maximize (counteract) the stress placed on it.

New cards
35

7 stresses

1. Adding or removing products and reactants

2. Adding of removing heat (endothermic and exothermic)

3. Volume change (relieve or add pressure)

4. Adding a catalyst or inert gas

5. Neutralization

6. Precipitation

7. Low ionization acids

New cards
36

Endothermic reaction

- heat on reactant side

- surroundings cool

- 🔼h = +

New cards
37

Exothermic reaction

- heat on product side

- warm the surrounding

🔼H = -

New cards
38

Heat will

Permanently change the k value

New cards
39

The only stress that permanently changes the k value is

Heat

New cards
40

When dealing with pressure/volume stresses, it's good to recall?

Boyle's law - pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the container

- or: the concentration of a gas in a container is directly proportional to there pressure of the gas.

New cards
41

When dealing with pressure/ volume you go from?

Pressure to volume:

increase pressure: decrease volume

Decrease pressure increase volume

New cards
42

Memorize what two things about pressure/volume stresses

1) more volume for more moles of gas

2) less volume for less moles of gas

New cards
43

To predict whether a change in pressure will affect a system equilibrium, you must consider?

The total amount in moles of gas reactants and the total amount of gas products.

New cards
44

Increased volume decreases the pressure what response is there by the system

System wants to get back to equilibrium and previous pressure so the reaction favours whatever reaction that increases # of miles therefore increasing pressure.

New cards
45

Effects of adding an inert gass or catalyst generally

Causes no shift

New cards
46

Effect of adding an inert gas

Does increased the partial pressure of the gases. But effects a gas equally.

New cards
47

An inert gas? Examples?

An inert gas doesn't react.

Eg: Nobel gases except xenon

New cards
48

Catalyst

- speeds up a reaction by providing an alternative reaction pathway, which decreases activity ion energy of a successful collision.

New cards
49

Effects on equilibrium of adding at catalyst

Increases the rate forward and reverse by the same amount

New cards
50

Secondary reaction stresses (3)

1) neutralization

2) precipitate

3) low ionization acid

New cards
51

Stress neutralization

- species list

It's the reaction between an acid and a base that is causing the shift.

New cards
52

When every they have something written above the equilibrium arrow this something is most likely

A catalyst

New cards
53

Stress: precipitation

-species list

-Addition of a substance that causes a precipitation to from from one of the other substances (usually causes a decrease stress in one of the factors)

New cards
54

Stress: low ionization acid

- Weak acid formation

-species list

- will from a weak acid (so will most likely slightly decrease a concentration of a molecules)

New cards
55

All reactants and products lines become level when?

Equilibrium had been achieved

New cards
56

La Chatellier's principle- Graphs: concentration, it not reactant or product is added then?

i) only 1 line increases vertically at the stress point

ii) Concentration adjust accordingly after the stress point

New cards
57

For La Chatellier's principle- Graphs: becareful of

Mole ratios

- especially with concentrations

New cards
58

La Chatellier's principle- Graphs: concentration: reactant or product is removed

i) only one line decreases vertically at stress point

New cards
59

How does the k value change with concentrations forLa Chatellier's principle- Graphs

Trick question! It doesn't

New cards
60

La Chatellier's principle- Graphs: Stress with no concentration change (inert gas/catalyst)

- Lines stay flat

New cards
61

La Chatellier's principle- Graphs: pressure/volume: volume increased

Concentrations go down

-* all gaseous lines go down

New cards
62

La Chatellier's principle- Graphs: pressure increases

- concentrations go up- all gaseous lines go up

New cards
63

La Chatellier's principle- Graphs: pressure/ volume keep in kind?

C= (n/V)

New cards
64

La Chatellier's principle- Graphs: heat?

- some line go up gradually

- some lines go down gradually

New cards
65

La Chatellier's principle is used to

Qualitatively predict an increase or decrease in the concentration of any substance when a change is introduced to a system equilibrium

New cards
66

Ice tables what does each part stand for?

I= initial concentration

C= change (in constant)

E = equilibrium concentration

f= final

New cards
67

Which parts of the ice table have variables

E and C

New cards
68

=E?

I +C = E

New cards
69
