Practice Will each of the following favor reactants or products? Reaction with Kc = 2.9 x 10-12 Reaction with Kc = 0.001 x 105
Calculating Concentrations at Equilibrium Carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas react reversibly to form CH4 (g) and water vapor. What is the concentration of CH4 at equilibrium? At equilibrium at 1000 °C, the concentrations of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and water are 0.30 M, 0.51 M, and 2.0 M, respectively. (Kc at 1000 °C = 260)
Le Châtelier’s Principle At equilibrium, concentrations of substances do not change. If a stress is put on the reaction at equilibrium, the equilibrium will _______________________ What changes count as stress?
Effect of Concentration Changes NO2 (g) NO (g) + O2 (g) What is the effect on the equilibrium? Add NO2? Add O2? Remove NO2? Remove NO?
Effect of Pressure Changes If P increases, equilibrium shifts to side with ____________________________ If P decreases, equilibrium shifts to side with ____________________________ NO2 (g) NO (g) + O2 (g)
