General Equilibrium These terms may be used in a question testing your understanding of EQUILIBRIUM initial concentration/pressure; original concentration/pressure; placed in a container; at equilibrium; LeChatlier s principle (reaction shift direction); ; c ; p ; equilibrium concentration; percent dissociation; equilibrium expression; law of mass action; change in concentration ey Formulas or Relationships Equilibrium Expression (AA Law of Mass Action) coefficients coefficient [Products] (Products P atmospheres) c = [Reactants] coefficients p = Either setup for Q (Reactants P ) coefficient p = c (RT) Δn atmospheres Be sure to leave out any solids and liquids and realize that changing their amounts can in no way affect the position of the equilibrium since they are not variables that are included in the equilibrium expression. Manipulating for different versions of the same reaction: reverse rxn = 1/; double coefficients = 2 ; ½ the coefficients = 1/2 ey Concepts Interpreting : If is >1 then reaction favors products b/c ratio is top heavy If is <1 then reaction favors reactants b/c ratio is bottom heavy Think about the reaction as running a race did the reaction make it over half way to the finish line before it stalled out or did it just barely make it off the starting line before it stalled out? LeChâtelier s Principle: If a system at equilibrium is stressed the system will shift direction until equilibrium is re-established. This will result in different concentration/pressure values for the individual members of the reaction but the VALUE of will not change without temperature. Connections to Other Chapters Thermodynamics: ΔG = ΔH TΔS o 0.0592 Electrochem: Ecell = E table logq n The easiest question you can be asked is What is the value of ΔG or E cell when the system is at equilibrium? Answer: ZERO Potential Pitfalls and Unit Warnings No units on LeChatlier tricky questions: Only temperature will change the value of ; no shifting can affect value of Amounts of solids and liquids that are not in the expression can not change position or size of Adding an inert gas (He, Ar, Ne ) to a gaseous equilibrium has NO EFFECT since it is not represented in the expression. In general equilibrium don t forget that these equations may have 1:2 ratios [i.e. (2x) 2 terms] are possible don t get lazy after acids and bases only involved 1:1 coefficients. Neglecting the x will be O. You should never have to use the quadratic equation on the AP exam. Page 1
Figures and Graphs You May Need to Interpret As time goes by, the concentration of reactants decreases and the concentration of products increases. Slope of curve is determined by stoichiometric coefficients. When the rates of increase and decrease are the same (i.e. level out) equilibrium is established.

Solubility Equilibrium You may be faced with a sp problem if it contains these words or phrases Solubility, molar solubility, sp, precipitation ey formulas and relationships For a poorly soluble salt, XY the reaction and sp equation are: XY (s) X 1 (aq) Y 1 (aq) and sp = [X 1 ][Y 1 ] For a poorly soluble salt XY 2 the reaction and sp equation are: XY 2(s) X 2 (aq) 2Y 1 (aq) and sp = [X 2 ][Y 1 ] 2 Q sp vs. sp can be used to determine whether precipitation will occur: (Remember Q is set up just like using the values you know at the time) If Q > sp then ppt will occur and solid will be present at the bottom If Q = sp the solution is saturated and will begin to show ppt at bottom If Q < sp the solution does not yet have enough ions to make a ppt (no soild) ey Concepts The sp value is telling you one of two things: (1) the amount of ions that will dissolve as a poorly soluble salt gets wet (2) the minimum concentration of ions necessary in a solution for precipitation to begin Therefore there are three types of problems you may encounter with sp : (1) Calculate sp -- calculating the sp from given concentrations. (a) Plug in numbers given to sp equation (b) Apply coefficient ratio if needed to arrive at additional concentration values. (2) Calculate x -- determine the solubility [concentration of dissolved ions] from a sp value (a) without any common ions mentioned use x and 2x type variables in [ ]. (b) if common ion is present, use its concentration directly in [ ] and x for the other. **Neglecting the x portion of the common ion is acceptable. (3) Determine when conditions are right for precipitation within a solution (a) How much must be added to start precipitation? --- Solve for [x] in sp equation. (b) Which ions of a mixture will precipitate first? ---The smaller the sp, the earlier it will precipitate. ---Think time-line : [0 M] sp = 1 10-10 sp = 1 10-8 sp =1 10-6 sp = 1 10-4 ppt#1 starts ppt#2 starts Potential Pitfalls and Unit Warnings Students often get stuck knowing when to use x and 2x and when to apply the exponent. If either [X] and [Y] are given as numbers, use the number in the appropriate [ ] and remember to square/cube it if necessary. USE x for the unknown concentration. If [X] and [Y] are both unknown to you THEN apply the coefficient ratio and use x and 2x as necessary in the appropriate [ ]. Remember to square/cube them if necessary. 2008 by René McCormick and Mary Payton. All rights reserved. 1 Page 6
