Chapter 14 Chemical Equilibrium Dr. S. M. Condren Chemical Equilibrium The state of a chemical reaction in which its forward and reverse reactions occur at equal rates so that the concentration of the reactants and products does not change with time. Dr. S. M. Condren Law of Mass Action aA + bB + cC + ... <=> pP + qQ + rR + Equilibrium Constant [P]p [Q]q [R]r ... K = --------------------[A]a [B]b [C]c ... Dr. S. M. Condren ... Catalytic Methanation Reaction Dr. S. M. Condren Meaning of Equilibrium Constant • K>>1: reaction is product-favored; equilibrium concentrations of products are greater than equilibrium concentrations of reactants. • K<<1: reaction is reactant-favored; equilibrium concentrations of reactants are greater than equilibrium concentrations of products. Dr. S. M. Condren If K = 100 = [I2 in CCl4] / [I2 in water] for the equilibrium I2 in water = I2 in CCl4 What is K for the reverse reaction, I2 in CCl4 = I2 in H2O? 100, 1, 0.01 Dr. S. M. Condren Autoionization of Water H2O + H2O <=> H3O+ + OH+ - [H3O ][OH ] K = ----------------[H2O]2 Kw = K [H2O]2 = [H3O+][OH-] = 1.0 x 10-14 Dr. S. M.

Condren donors + M M + e– acceptors M M – + h+ Which dopant will act as an acceptor for Si? B, Ge, As As a donor? B, Ge, As Dr. S. M. Condren Fermi Level undoped semiconductor metal Ef Ef The Fermi level is the energy at which the probability of finding an electron is 50%; below the Fermi level it is more likely that the electronic states are occupied with electrons and above the Fermi level it is more likely they are not occupied. n-type semiconductor p-type semiconductor Ef Ef Dr. S. M. Condren Le Chatelier's Principle If a stress, such as a change in concentration, pressure, temperature, etc., is applied to a system at equilibrium, the equilibrium will shift in such a way as to lessen the effect of the stress. Dr. S. M. Condren Gas Phase Equilibrium catalysis N2(g) + 3 H2(g) <=====> 2 NH3(g) + heat high pressure and temperature Dr. S. M. Condren The Principle of Le Chatelier Changes in Concentration or Partial Pressure for N2(g) + 3 H2(g) 2 NH3(g) an increase in N2 and/or H2 concentration or pressure, will cause the equilibrium to shift towards the production of NH3 Dr. S. M. Condren The Principle of Le Chatelier Changes in Concentration or Partial Pressure for N2(g) + 3 H2(g) 2 NH3(g) likewise, a decrease in NH3 concentration or pressure will cause more NH3 to be produced Dr. S. M. Condren The Principle of Le Chatelier Changes in Temperature for N2(g) + 3 H2(g) 2 NH3(g) + heat for an exothermic reaction, an increase in temperature will cause the reaction to shift back towards reactants Dr. S. M. Condren The cobalt complexes participating in the equilibrium below comprise a humidity sensor. From Le Châtelier's principle, when the sensor is moist (excess H2O), what color is the cobalt complex? pink, blue Dr. S. M. Condren A competition experiment involves O2 and CO vying for hemoglobin (Hb) sites, defined by the equilibrium Hb(O2)4 + 4 CO = Hb(CO)4 + 4O2 From Le Châtelier's principle, how is CO poisoning reversed? decrease O2 pressure, increase O2 pressure, remove Hb Dr. S. M. Condren Heterogeneous Equilibrium CaCO3(s) + heat <===> CaO(s) + CO2(g) Dr. S. M. Condren
