Principles of Chemistry II © Vanden BoutChemical EquilibriaWhy do we care?!!Principles of Chemistry II © Vanden BoutPut stuff in a beaker and what do you get?We can use thermodynamics to predict the molecular concentrations at equilibrium(very powerful!)2H2O(g) 2H2(g) + O2(g)ΔrG° = +113.4 kJ mol-1Principles of Chemistry II © Vanden BoutWhat about the opposite reaction?2H2(g) + O2(g) 2H2O(g) ΔrG° = -113.4 kJ mol-1Principles of Chemistry II © Vanden BoutDoes everything go to equilibrium as predicted?What happens if you mix H2 and O2 at 298K?!
