Equilibrium In Chemical Reaction

The double arrow tells us that N2 + 3H2 2NH3 The double arrow tells us that this reaction can go in both directions:

1) Reactants react to become products, N2 + 3H2 2NH3 1) Reactants react to become products, N2 + 3H2 2NH3 (‘forward’ reaction)

1) Reactants react to become products, N2 + 3H2 2NH3 (‘forward’ reaction) while simultaneously, 2) Products react to become reactants N2 + 3H2 2NH3 (‘reverse’ reaction)

N2 + 3H2 2NH3 In a closed system, where no reactants, products, or energy can be added to or removed from the reaction, a reversible reaction will reach equilibrium.

N2 + 3H2 2NH3 At equilibrium, the rate of the forward reaction becomes equal to the rate of the reverse reaction, and so, like our escalator metaphor, the two sides, reactants and products, will have constant amounts, even though the reactions continue to occur.

N2 + 3H2 2NH3 However (like the metaphor), the equilibrium amounts of reactants and products are usually not equal, they just remain unchanged.

Equilibrium: the extent of a reaction In stoichiometry we talk about theoretical yields, and the many reasons actual yields may be lower. Another critical reason actual yields may be lower is the reversibility of chemical reactions: some reactions may produce only 70% of the product you may calculate they ought to produce. Equilibrium looks at the extent of a chemical reaction.

The Concept of Equilibrium Consider colorless frozen N2O4. At room temperature, it decomposes to brown NO2: N2O4(g)  2NO2(g). At some time, the color stops changing and we have a mixture of N2O4 and NO2. Chemical equilibrium is the point at which the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction. At that point, the concentrations of all species are constant. Using the collision model: as the amount of NO2 builds up, there is a chance that two NO2 molecules will collide to form N2O4. At the beginning of the reaction, there is no NO2 so the reverse reaction (2NO2(g)  N2O4(g)) does not occur.

N2O4(g) 2NO2(g) As the substance warms it begins to decompose: When enough NO2 is formed, it can react to form N2O4: 2NO2(g)  N2O4(g). At equilibrium, as much N2O4 reacts to form NO2 as NO2 reacts to re-form N2O4 The double arrow implies the process is dynamic. N2O4(g) 2NO2(g)

B A As the reaction progresses [A] decreases to a constant, [B] increases from zero to a constant. When [A] and [B] are constant, equilibrium is achieved. A B

No matter the starting composition of reactants and products, the same ratio of concentrations is achieved at equilibrium. For a general reaction the equilibrium constant expression is where Kc is the equilibrium constant.

Kc is based on the molarities of reactants and products at equilibrium. We generally omit the units of the equilibrium constant. Note that the equilibrium constant expression has products over reactants.

Write the equilibrium expression for the following reaction:

The Equilibrium Constant in Terms of Pressure If KP is the equilibrium constant for reactions involving gases, we can write: KP is based on partial pressures measured in atmospheres.

of Equilibrium Constants The Magnitude of Equilibrium Constants Therefore, the larger K the more products are present at equilibrium. Conversely, the smaller K the more reactants are present at equilibrium. If K >> 1, then products dominate at equilibrium and equilibrium lies to the right. If K << 1, then reactants dominate at equilibrium and the equilibrium lies to the left.

An equilibrium can be approached from any direction. Example:

However, The equilibrium constant for a reaction in one direction is the reciprocal of the equilibrium constant of the reaction in the opposite direction.

Heterogeneous Equilibria When all reactants and products are in one phase, the equilibrium is homogeneous. If one or more reactants or products are in a different phase, the equilibrium is heterogeneous. Consider: experimentally, the amount of CO2 does not seem to depend on the amounts of CaO and CaCO3. Why?

Heterogeneous Equilibria

Heterogeneous Equilibria Neither density nor molar mass is a variable, the concentrations of solids and pure liquids are constant. (You can’t find the concentration of something that isn’t a solution!) We ignore the concentrations of pure liquids and pure solids in equilibrium constant expressions. The amount of CO2 formed will not depend greatly on the amounts of CaO and CaCO3 present. Kc = [CO2]  Kp = [pCO2]

Applications of Equilibrium Constants Predicting the Direction of Reaction We define Q, the reaction quotient, for a reaction at conditions NOT at equilibrium as where [A], [B], [P], and [Q] are molarities at any time. Q = K only at equilibrium.

Predicting the Direction of Reaction If Q > K then the reverse reaction must occur to reach equilibrium (go left) If Q < K then the forward reaction must occur to reach equilibrium (go right)

What we are asked for here is the equilibrium concentration of H2 ... Note the moles into a 10.32 L vessel stuff ... calculate molarity. Starting concentration of HI: 2.5 mol/10.32 L = 0.242 M 2 HI H2 + I2 Initial: Change: Equil: 0.242 M 0 0 -2x +x +x 0.242-2x x x What we are asked for here is the equilibrium concentration of H2 ... ... otherwise known as x. So, we need to solve this beast for x.

And yes, it’s a quadratic equation. Doing a bit of rearranging: x = 0.00802 or –0.00925 Since we are using this to model a real, physical system, we reject the negative root. The [H2] at equil. is 0.00802 M.

This type of problem is typically tackled using the “three line” approach: 2 NO + O2 2 NO2 Initial: Change: Equil.:

Approximating If Keq is really small the reaction will not proceed to the right very far, meaning the equilibrium concentrations will be nearly the same as the initial concentrations of your reactants. 0.20 – x is just about 0.20 is x is really dinky. If the difference between Keq and initial concentrations is around 3 orders of magnitude or more, go for it. Otherwise, you have to use the quadratic.

x = 3.83 x 10-6 M Initial Concentration of I2: 0.50 mol/2.5L = 0.20 M I2 2 I More than 3 orders of mag. between these numbers. The simplification will work here. Initial change equil: 0.20 0 -x +2x 0.20-x 2x With an equilibrium constant that small, whatever x is, it’s near dink, and 0.20 minus dink is 0.20 (like a million dollars minus a nickel is still a million dollars). 0.20 – x is the same as 0.20 x = 3.83 x 10-6 M

I2 2 I 0.20 0 Initial: -x +2x Change: 0.20-x 2x equil: Initial Concentration of I2: 0.50 mol/2.5L = 0.20 M I2 2 I These are too close to each other ... 0.20-x will not be trivially close to 0.20 here. Initial: Change: equil: 0.20 0 -x +2x 0.20-x 2x Looks like this one has to proceed through the quadratic ...

Le Châtelier’s Principle Le Chatelier’s Principle: if you disturb an equilibrium, it will shift to undo the disturbance. Remember, in a system at equilibrium, come what may, the concentrations will always arrange themselves to multiply and divide in the Keq equation to give the same number (at constant temperature).

Change in Reactant or Product Concentrations Adding a reactant or product shifts the equilibrium away from the increase. Removing a reactant or product shifts the equilibrium towards the decrease. To optimize the amount of product at equilibrium, we need to flood the reaction vessel with reactant and continuously remove product (Le Châtelier). We illustrate the concept with the industrial preparation of ammonia

Consider the Haber process If H2 is added while the system is at equilibrium, the system must respond to counteract the added H2 (by Le Châtelier). That is, the system must consume the H2 and produce products until a new equilibrium is established. Therefore, [H2] and [N2] will decrease and [NH3] increases.

Change in Reactant or Product Concentrations The unreacted nitrogen and hydrogen are recycled with the new N2 and H2 feed gas. The equilibrium amount of ammonia is optimized because the product (NH3) is continually removed and the reactants (N2 and H2) are continually being added. Effects of Volume and Pressure As volume is decreased pressure increases. Le Châtelier’s Principle: if pressure is increased the system will shift to counteract the increase.a

Consider the production of ammonia As the pressure increases, the amount of ammonia present at equilibrium increases. As the temperature decreases, the amount of ammonia at equilibrium increases. Le Châtelier’s Principle: if a system at equilibrium is disturbed, the system will move in such a way as to counteract the disturbance.

Change in Reactant or Product Concentrations

Effects of Volume and Pressure The system shifts to remove gases and decrease pressure. An increase in pressure favors the direction that has fewer moles of gas. In a reaction with the same number of product and reactant moles of gas, pressure has no effect. Consider

Effects of Volume and Pressure An increase in pressure (by decreasing the volume) favors the formation of colorless N2O4. The instant the pressure increases, the system is not at equilibrium and the concentration of both gases has increased. The system moves to reduce the number moles of gas (i.e. the reverse reaction is favored). A new equilibrium is established in which the mixture is lighter because colorless N2O4 is favored.

Effect of Temperature Changes The equilibrium constant is temperature dependent. For an endothermic reaction, H > 0 and heat can be considered as a reactant. For an exothermic reaction, H < 0 and heat can be considered as a product. Adding heat (i.e. heating the vessel) favors away from the increase: if H > 0, adding heat favors the forward reaction, if H < 0, adding heat favors the reverse reaction.

Effect of Temperature Changes Removing heat (i.e. cooling the vessel), favors towards the decrease: if H > 0, cooling favors the reverse reaction, if H < 0, cooling favors the forward reaction. Consider for which H > 0. Co(H2O)62+ is pale pink and CoCl42- is blue.

Prinsip Le Chatelier Usaha untuk mengubah suhu, tekanan atau konsentrasi pereaksi dalam suatu sistem dalam keadaan setimbang merangsang terjadinya reaksi yang mengembalikan kesetimbangan pada sistem tersebut

Pengaruh perubahan Jumlah spesies yang bereaksi Kesetimbangan awal Gangguan Kesetimbangan akhir

Pengaruh Perubahan Tekanan Jika tekanan pada campuran kesetimbangan yang melibatkan gas ditingkatkan reaksi bersih akan berlangsung kearah yang mempunyai jumlah mol gas lebih kecil begitupun sebaliknya

Pengaruh Gas Lembam (inert) Pengaruh tidaknya gas lembam tergantung pada cara melibatkan gas tersebut Jika sejumlah gas helium ditambahkan pada keadaan volume tetap, tekanan akan meningkat, sehingga tekanan gas total akan meningkat. Tetapi tekanan parsial gas-gas dalam kesetimbangan tetap Jika gas ditambahkan pada tekanan tetap, maka volume akan bertambah. Pengaruhnya akan sama dengan peningkatan volume akibat penambahan tekanan eksternal. Gas lembam mempengaruhi keadaan kesetimbangan hanya jika gas tersebut mengakibatkan perubahan konsentrasi (atau tekanan parsial) dari pereaksi-pereaksinya

Pengaruh Suhu Penambahan kalor akan menguntungkan reaksi serap-panas (endoterm) Pengurangan kalor akan menguntungkan reaksi lepas-panas (eksoterm) Peningkatan suhu suatu campuran kesetimbangan menyebabkan pergeseran kearah reaksi endoterm. Penurunan suhu menyebabkan pergeseran kearah reaksi eksoterm

Pengaruh Suhu pada Kesetimbangan Umumnya tetapan kesetimbangan suatu reaksi tergantung pada suhu Nilai Kp untuk reaksi oksidasi belerang dioksida diperlihatkan pada tabel berikut

Hubungan pada tabel tersebut dapat dituliskan dengan: Persamaan garis lurus y = m .x + b Dan jika ada dua keadaan yang berbeda kita dapat menghubungkan dengan modifikasi sederhana hingga diperoleh:

K2 dan K1 adalah tetapan kesetimbangan pada suhu kelvin T2 dan T1 K2 dan K1 adalah tetapan kesetimbangan pada suhu kelvin T2 dan T1. ∆Ho adalah entalpi (kalor) molar standar dari reaksi. Nilai positif dan negatif untuk parameter ini dimungkinkan dan diperlukan asumsi bahwa ∆Ho tidak tergantung pada suhu Menurut prinsip Le Chatelier, jika ∆Ho > 0 (endoterm) reaksi kedepan terjadi jika suhu ditingkatkan, menyiratkan bahwa nilai K meningkat dengan suhu. Jika ∆Ho < 0 (eksoterm) reaksi kebalikan terjadi jika suhu ditingkatkan dan nilai K menurun dengan suhu Persamaan diatas menghasilkan nilai kuantitatif yang sesuai dengan pengamatan kualitatif dari prinsip Le Chatelier.

Soal Latihan Untuk reaksi N2O4(g)  2NO2(g), ∆Ho = +61,5 kJ/mol dan Kp = 0,113 pada 298K Berapa nilai Kp pada 0oC? (1,2x10-2) Pada suhu berapa nilai Kp = 1,00 (326 K)

Pengaruh Katalis pada Kesetimbangan Katalis dalam reaksi reversibel dapat mempercepat reaksi baik kekanan atau kekiri. Keadaan kesetimbangan tercapai lebih cepat tetapi tidak mengubah konstanta kesetimbangan dari spesies-spesies yang bereaksi. Peranan katalis adalah mengubah mekanisme reaksi agar tercapai energi aktivasi yang lebih rendah. Keadaan kesetimbangan tidak bergantung pada mekanisme reaksi Sehingga tetapan kesetimbangan yang diturunkan secara kinetik tidak dipengaruhi oleh mekanisme yang dipilih.
