Topics in Equilibrium

1

1. Nature of Equilibrium

  • At equilibrium, the rate of evaporation is equal to the rate of condensation.
  • Equilibrium is dynamic: both forward and reverse processes continue, but at equal rates.
  • Equilibrium can be established for physical as well as chemical processes.
2

2. Law of Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibrium Constant

  • Guldberg and Waage proposed the equilibrium equation in 1864.
  • The equilibrium equation is called the law of mass action because concentration was historically called active mass.
  • For a reaction at a given temperature, a fixed ratio of product concentrations to reactant concentrations is obtained at equilibrium.
3

3. Relation Between Kp and Kc

  • For gaseous equilibria, pressure is proportional to concentration at constant temperature.
  • Pressure must be expressed in bar for Kp calculations because the standard state for pressure is 1 bar.
  • 1 bar = 10^5 Pa.
4

4. Extent and Direction of Reaction

  • If Kc > 10^3, products predominate.
  • If Kc < 10^-3, reactants predominate.
  • If Kc lies between 10^-3 and 10^3, appreciable amounts of both reactants and products are present.
