Throwing Contest AnalogyThe Avengers face off against me and my friends:
Rules of the game:My team starts with 10,000 balls. The Avengers start with none. Each team must throw balls to the other side as quickly as possible
Equilibrium is reached when the number of balls on each side isn’t
changing
Initial Count: 0Initial Count: 10,000
Initial Count: 0Final Count: 3
Initial Count: 10,000Final Count: 9997
Important similarities to chemical equilibrium:
Even though the number of balls on each side is staying the same, they are still being exchanged.
Throwing Contest Analogy
At equilibrium the speed of the forward and the reverse reaction are the same.
What is dynamic equilibrium?
A reaction (or phase change) doesn’t simply go in one direction.
Physical
Chemical
Review
Dynamic equilibrium occurs when the rate of the forward process equals the rate of the reverse process.
When dynamic equilibrium is reached their will be no change in amount of products or reactants, even though the forward and reverse reactions are still occurring.

Kc Examples:Write the expression for the equilibrium constant for the following reactions:
Pure phosgene gas (COCl2), 3.00x10-2 mol, was placed in a 1.50L container. It was heated to 800K and the pressure of CO was found to be 0.497 atm. Calculate the equilibrium constant Kp for the reaction.
Questions:
If Kc is significantly greater than 1 what does that mean about the concentrations of products to reactants?
If Kc is significantly less than 1 what does that mean about the concentrations of products to reactants?
What does the size of Kc say about the
reaction?Products Favored
© Pearson
© Pearson
Reactants Favored
K>>1
K<<1
ReviewKc is equal to the products over the reactants raised to the power of the coefficient
Kc is used because the final ratios of products to reactants change based on initial concentraions and stoichiometric coefficents but Kc does not.
If Kc is much greater than one then products are favored
If Kc is much less than one, then reactants are favored.
The last two will be true of all the equilibrium constants we’ll cover over the next several chapters.
Learning Outcomes:
Write equilibrium constant in terms of pressure (Kp) for a given reaction.
Use data to determine the equilibrium constant (Kp) for a given reaction.
Determine the relation between Kc and Kp
Convert between Kc and Kp
Kp Examples:
Find Kp for the decomposition of phosphorus pentachloride into phosphorus trichloride and chlorine gas given that the equilibrium partial pressures are 0.875atm, 0.463atm and 1.98 atm respectively at 250oC. (review naming if needed)
Then find its Kc.
When is Kc equal to Kp?
Question:
Orange= CaCO3
Green= CaORed+Black=CO2
The amount of CaO and CaCO3 doesn’t matter, so long as there is
enough of each that there is leftover at equilibrium.
Only gas and aqueous species are included in the equilibrium constant expression: Why?
Review Slide: The magnitude of K tells us whether reactants or products are favored
K>>1 Products favored
K<< 1 Reactants are favored
Only gas and aqueous species are included in the equilibrium constant expression
Concentrations at equilibrium vary depending on initial conditions
This is why we use K rather than ratios.
Kc does not change given a constant temperature
Quick note about K units
Equilibrium constants are unitless
This is because we aren’t really using the concentrations and pressures, but are actually using “activities”
We are actually filling in
Where Po is 1atm and co is 1 mol/L leaving the activity unitless.
Learning Outcomes:
Discuss a medical/pharmalogical term that is related to our topics.
Use Kd definition to compare binding efficiencies and doses of two theoretical drugs (don’t worry, no bio required).
Related Medical/Pharmalogical Term:
Kc is related to the amount of drug needed to give a specific amount of the drug/protein complex.
Use to decide dosage of a drug (also used in other protein binding
medical applications.)
Kd Example
Which binds more tightly (aka has a high affinity).
Drug B
If binding is required for the drug effect, which would you expect to be more effective at lower doses.
Drug B.
Drug A has a much higher Kd than Drug B. Both work on the same receptor, and both have similar cellular responses. Answer the following questions. (Note: no biology background is required to do the problem.)
Review
In medical applications Kd is often used instead of Kc.
The lower the Kd the higher the binding affinity.
Learning Outcomes:
Determine Kc when a reaction is reversed.
Determine Kc when a reaction is multiplied by a number.
Manipulating K ExampleWrite the equation for the Kc of the reverse reaction of the previous example. What is the relation between them?
Previous example:
Reverse Reaction:
They are inverses of each other!
Manipulating K ExampleIf you multiply the decomposition of N2O4 equation by 2, what is the Kc? What is the relation between the Kc of each?
Previous example:
Multiplied by 2 Reaction:
If you multiply by 2 you square it!
ReviewIf you reverse the equation. K is inverted.
If you multiple the equation by a number K is raised to that power.
Learning Outcomes:
Reverse and multiply equations and then add them to create a new chemical equation (this is
similar to Hess’s Law Problems).
Use the rules for Kc to determine the Kc of the new equation (different rules than Hess’s Law)
Combine multiple equations to determine a Kc for a new reaction. (different rules than Hess’s Law)
Combining multiple Kc
If two equations add to a new equation. The Kc of the new equation is found by multiplying the component equations.
***Similar to the Hess’s law problems, but be careful its multiplication NOT addition.
Kc= (K’c)(K’’

Learning Outcomes:
Define the Reaction Quotient (Q)
Identify the difference between Q and K
Determine the direction that a reaction will proceed given the Q and K.
Reaction Quotient (Q)Defined the same as K, (products reactants, raised to stoichiometric coefficients)
K is at equlibrium
Q can be determined at any point in the reaction.
Compare Q and K to see if the reaction will go “forward” “reverse” or if it is already at equilibrium
Q<K Reaction moves forward, aka from left to right
Q>K Reaction moves in reverse, aka right to left
Q=K the reaction is already at equilibrium and stays the same
Lets look at why this is.
Q compared to K
Q<K Products are smaller/reactants are bigger than K, so must shift to adjust.
Reaction moves forward, to create more products, and less reactants
Q>K Reactants are smaller/products are bigger than K, so must shift to adjust
Reaction moves to left to create more reactants and less products.
Q=K the reaction is already at equilibrium and stays the same
Example: Using Q to predict reaction direction
For the synthesis of ammonia the Kc at 375oC is 1.2. The initial concentrations are H2=0.76 M N2=0.60 M and NH3 = 0.48 M. Which way will the reaction shift? What will happen to the concentration of each gas?
Find Q and compare it to K
Shifts forward, or to the right.
Examples: Using Q to predict reaction direction
The Kp for the reaction below is 5.60x104 at 350oC the initial pressures are SO2= 0.350 and O2=0.762. Is the total pressure at the end, less, greater or the same as intial?
No product. So the reaction MUST shift forward.
Reactants = 3 moles. Products = 2 moles.
Total moles are lower on side of reaction it is shifting toward, So the ideal gas law says that pressure goes down.
Review
The reaction quotient (Q) is products over reactants, raised to their stoichiometric coefficents.
It differs from K, because K is the value at equilibrium while Q is the value at any given point.
You can determine which way the reaction will shift by comparing Q and K
If Q is less than K the reaction shifts right
If Q is less than K the reaction shifts left
Learning Outcomes
Calculate equilibrium concentrations from the initial concentrations and Kc.
Calculate Kc from experimental equilibrium concentrations.
Pre-requisite RequirementsUsing Q to tell which way the reaction will shift.
Defining K, writing equation for K.
Calculating Equilibrium Concentrations
Step 1: Use initial concentrations to calculate Q
Step 2: Decide which way the reaction shifts
Step 3: Recommended make an “ICE” chartInitial, Change, Equilibrium.
Step 4: Fill in initial concentrations and changes (in variable form if need be).
Step 5: Fill in equilibrium concentrations
Step 6: Fill into K equation and solve for the variable.
For you to use as guidelines, sometimes need to be altered based on the situation, follow along as we do problems.
Example:
Calculate the number of moles of H2 that are present at equilibrium if a mixture of 0.300 mol of CO and 0.300 mol of H2O is heated to 700oC (kc=0.534) in a 10.0 L container.
Example:
At a certain temperature, the equilibrium constant, Kc, for this reaction is 53.3. At this temperature, 0.300 mol of H2 and 0.300 mol of I2 were placed in a 1.00L container to react. What concentration of HI is present at equilibrium?
Example:
For the decomposition of phosphorous pentachloride to phosphorous trichloride and chlorine at 400.K the Kc is 1.1x10-2. Given that 1.0g of phosphorous pentachloride is added to a 250mL reaction flask, find the final concentrations of each species and the percent decomposition.
ExampleConsider the reaction below. A reaction mixture at 780 oC initially contains [CO]=0.500 M and [H2]= 1.00M. At equilibrium, the CO concentration is 0.15 M. What is the value of the equilibrium constant?
Review
Using ICE charts, the equation of Kc, and initial concentrations we can determine the concentration of all compounds.
Using ICE charts, the equation of Kp, and initial pressures we can determine the concentration of all compounds.
Remember to think of all of these problems as one type, rather than memorizing each protocol separately.

concentrationsIn the laboratory studying the extraction of iron metal from iron ore, the following reaction was carried out at 1270K in a reaction vessel of volume 10.0L. At equilibrium the partial pressure of CO was 4.24bar and that of CO2 was 1.71 bar. The pressure of the CO2 was reduced to 0.62 bar by reacting some of it with NaOH and the system was allowed to reach equilibrium again. What will be the partial pressure of each gas once equilibrium is re-established?
Volume and Pressure (in gases)
Increase volume, and therefore decrease in pressure: shifts toward the side with more moles of gas
Decrease volume, and therefore increase in pressure it shifts toward the side with less moles of gas
Low pressureShifted further to the left
High pressureShifted further to the right
4 mols reactant

Temperature ChangeAlters Kc/Kp (unlike all other changes)
For an endothermic reaction (DH= positive)Think of heat as a reactant
raising the temperature shifts the reaction to the products
Lowering the temperature shifts the reaction to the reactants
For an exothermic reaction (DH= negative)Think of heat as a product
raising the temperature shifts the reaction to the reactants
Lowering the temperature shifts the reaction to the products
Example
Exothermic
-DH means heat is produced so think of it as a “product”, Increased temperature increases a “product”, so it must shift…..?
