Heterogeneous equilbriaOutline of Current LectureCurrent LectureI. The reaction quotient tells which way the equilibrium constant favors. Remember:K > 1 (the reaction is moving to the product)K < 1 (reaction is moving towards the reactant)K = 1 (equilibrium is established)However, what is the limit? What is happening to the reactant? How can you tell? The reaction quotient is represented just as the equilibrium constant is represented:D ¿d¿B ¿bA ¿a¿¿C ¿c¿¿QC=¿QP=PccPDdPAaPBbWhat’s the difference between Q&K? K is for equilibrium and Q is for concentration at any given time. The only time Q and K are equal is at equilibrium. The same rules above apply between Q and K. What is Q=0? The reaction is only reactants and proceeds forward. What ifQ=∞? Then there are only products. As the products move closer to 0, the numerator will more father away from 0.Example: Which direction is the reaction going to favor if PI2=0.114 atm, PCI2=0.102 atm, and PICI=0.355 atm?Given: I2 and CI2↔2ICl, KP=0.102 atm, 81.9 = KQP=PICl2PI2PCI2QP=(0.355)2(0.114)(0.102)=10.8Since 10.8<81.9 the reaction favors the product and moves to the rightII. Finding the equilibrium concentration:Example: I2+Cl2↔2IClI2Cl2IClI .100 .100 .100CE ? ? ?Which direction is the reaction moving?K=[ICl]2[I2][C l2]Q=[ICl]2[I2][C l2]Q=[.100]2[.100][.100]=1Since Q<K (1<81.9) the reaction moves to the productNow define this in the terms of x:I2Cl2IClI .100 .100 .100C -x -x +2xE ? ? ?So….I2Cl2IClI .100 .100 .100C -x -x +2xE .100-x .100-x .100+2xNow solve for x:Kc=(.100+2 x)2(.100−x)(.100−x)=81.981.9=(.100+2 x)2(.100− x)(.100−x)I2Cl2IClI .100 .100 .100C -.0729 -.0729 (.0729)E .027 .027
