Testing to see if an equilibrium has been established.
The reaction quotient (Q), uses the equilibrium expression with the available concentrations to determine if the reaction has attained equilibrium or not.For the general chemical reaction:

Predicting the direction of an equilibrium
Reaction Quotient Description of equilibrium
Q=Keq The system is at equilibrium
Q>Keq
The system is “product rich”. It must “shift” to the left to achieve equilibrium.
Q<Keq
The system is “reactant rich”. It must “shift” to the right to achieve equilibrium.

Quantitative analysis of equilibria
Using Le Châtelier’s Principle & the Equilibrium Law one can quantitatively assess;The equilibrium constant (Keq)The position or progress of the equilibrium
system with the reaction quotient (Q)The equilibrium concentrations

Determining the position or status of an equilibrium system. Calculate the reaction quotient using the
equilibrium concentrations. Compare the reaction quotient value to the
equilibrium constant value. Determine whether the reaction is reactant or
product rich and adjust the equilibrium to establish the equilibrium.

At 500o C, the value of Keq for reaction between nitrogen and hydrogen to produce ammonia is 25.0. The equilibrium concentrations for the chemicals are; [N2] = 0.10 mol/L, [H2] = 0.30 mol/L & [NH3]=0.20 mol/L. Is the mixture at equilibrium? If not, which direction must it be adjusted to acquire an equilibrium? Balanced equation for the reaction
N2 (g) + 3 H2 (g) 2 NH3 (g)

The equilibrium concentrations for the chemicals are; [N2] = 0.10 mol/L, [H2] = 0.30 mol/L & [NH3]=0.20 mol/L. Is the mixture at equilibrium? If not, which direction must it be adjusted to acquire an equilibrium? Substitute the supplied concentrations into the
expression to solve for Q.
Compare the Q value to the known Keq value.Q < Keq
14.8 < 25.0
![Page 8: Quantitative Changes in Equilibrium Systems](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082215/56816008550346895dcf08b6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

The equilibrium concentrations for the chemicals are; [N2] = 0.10 mol/L, [H2] = 0.30 mol/L & [NH3]=0.20 mol/L. Is the mixture at equilibrium? If not, which direction must it be adjusted to acquire an equilibrium? Use the Q and Keq values to determine the position of the
equilibrium system.
Since Q < Keq, the system has fewer products than the equilibrium state. Therefore the reaction needs to progress toward the products to attain equilibrium. (i.e.- Shift to the right.)

Calculating equilibrium concentrations
To determine the equilibrium concentrations, one must use:A balanced equation for the equilibrium
reactionAn equilibrium expression and constant, Keq
An Initial concentration, Change in concentration, and Equilibrium concentration (ICE) table.

Calculating equilibrium concentrations
In cases where the Keq value is very small the addition and subtraction of the change value (x) may be insignificant and thereby omitted. Use the ratio of the smallest initial concentration and the
Keq to assess the affect of the change.

Calculating equilibrium concentrations
If clue > 500, the addition or subtraction of “x” is insignificant and may be ignored.
If 100<clue<500, the addition or subtraction of “x” is probably insignificant, but should be checked.
If clue<100, the addition or subtraction of “x” is significant and must be included in the calculations.

Calculating equilibrium concentrations
In cases where the Keq expression results in the resolution of a quadratic equation, the use of the quadratic formula my prove helpful.
When the quadratic formula produces two answers select the one that is viable. Remembering that you can not have a negative concentration!

Example – At high temperatures, as with lightning, nitrogen and oxygen will react to produce nitrogen monoxide. A chemist puts 0.085 moles of N2(g) and 0.038 mol of O2(g) in a 1.0 L flask at high temperature, where the Keq= 4.2 x 10-8. What is the concentration of the NO(g) in the mixture at equilibrium?

4. Substitute the equilibrium concentrations (ICE Table) into the expression and solve for “x”.
4.3 and 1.7 are determined through the quadratic formula calculation, but only one is correct!
3.00 – 4.3 = negative value so 1.7 mol/L is the correct value. (A negative concentration is impossible!)
Therefore the final equilibrium concentrations are: [H2]eq = 2.00 – 1.7 = 0.3 mol/L[I2]eq = 3.00 – 1.7 = 1.3 mol/L[HI]eq = 2( 1.7) = 3.4 mol/L

aqueous. units: use M for Kc and or atm for Kp
SIZE OF KK >1 → products favored in equilibrium system
K < 1 → reactants favored in equilibrium system

SUMMARY OF LESSON 1,2 AND 3
Le CHATELIER’S PRINCIPLE: reaction shifts to restore equilibrium (opposes stress on the system)
FACTORS AFFECTING EQUILIBRIUMConcentration; Temperature; Pressure
Concentration: • add/remove reactants/products part of K expression; pure liquids or solids usually do
not affect equilibrium• increase concentration of A, move away from A ( A )
• Decrease concentration of A, move towards A ( A)
Temperature: • endothermic: heat written as a reactant; • exothermic: heat written as a product
• Increase temp always favours the endothermic reaction
Pressure: Must be gaseous and must have unequal number of moles.P ↑ move in a direction with less gas mol
if possible; convert V changes to P
FACTORS NOT AFFECTING EQUILIBRIUMCatalyst, Pure liquid or solid (water sometimes can shift rxn). Inert gases does not affect
equilbrium
