The story so far…• So far, we learnt about the kinetics of a rxn
– In other words, how fast or how slow it goes, what factors affect this rate and how we can calculate that rate given data.
• Today, we are only focused on one specific condition of rates “Equilibrium”

Equilibrium • A system/rxn is at equilibrium
when the forward and reverse reactions occur at equal rates.
• Chemists draw arrows that look like this to show a system at equilibrium.

Equilibrium Many chemical reactions are reversible if….. the activation energy is low enough , the system is closed and temperature is kept constant.
*Closed system= one where nothing can enter or escape (ideal)
Reactants ⇌ Products
Forward Rate Reverse Rate
reaction rate= kforward.[reactants]k is a rate constant that tells you how fast or slow the reaction is normally.

Let’s see what happens to some reactants if they are placed in a reaction vessel and allowed to react.

How come the concentration of the reactants at equilibrium does not change even though the forward reaction continues to occur????
The reverse reaction continues at the same rate as the forward reaction in an equilibrium. In other words, the products that are made in the forward reaction are used up as fast as they are made due to the reverse reaction taking place at the same rate too! So all concentrations remain the same!
![Page 17: Equilibrium. The story so far… So far, we learnt about the kinetics of a rxn –In other words, how fast or how slow it goes, what factors affect this rate.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b1e7f8b9ab059994639/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Rates and Concentrations at equilibrium
1- Rate of consumption = Rate of production
2- The forward and reverse rates are equal and remain constant unless the system is interrupted.
3-[reactants] differs from [products] but….
4- Concentrations of [reactants] and [products] is now CONSTANT/unchanged in time.
In general, any system which is not at equilibrium will tend to move towards establishing equilibrium
![Page 18: Equilibrium. The story so far… So far, we learnt about the kinetics of a rxn –In other words, how fast or how slow it goes, what factors affect this rate.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b1e7f8b9ab059994639/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Recognize the difference• Forward and reverse rates : equal &
constant• Concentrations of reactants and products:
constant, but not necessarily equal.

How equilibrium is established Stage 1•As a reaction begins, high[reactants] generate a fast forward rate.
![Page 20: Equilibrium. The story so far… So far, we learnt about the kinetics of a rxn –In other words, how fast or how slow it goes, what factors affect this rate.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b1e7f8b9ab059994639/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
How equilibrium is established Stage 2•As the [reactants] falls so does the forward rate, meanwhile the reverse rate rises along with the [products]
![Page 21: Equilibrium. The story so far… So far, we learnt about the kinetics of a rxn –In other words, how fast or how slow it goes, what factors affect this rate.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062600/5a4d1b1e7f8b9ab059994639/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
How equilibrium is established Stage 3•This continues until the reverse rate equals the forward rate, thereby establishing equilibrium.

Equilibrium
Reactant concentrations start high and decrease as the reaction proceeds. The forward rate, which depends on collisions of the reactants, also decreases. Product concentrations start at zero and increase as the reaction proceeds. The reverse rate, which depends on collisions of the products, also increases. Eventually when the forward rate is equal to the reverse rate AND the concentrations are constant ( but not necessarily the same) This is equilibrium.

Characteristics of a System at Equilibrium 1.The Forward rate = The Reverse rate
The equilibrium can be approached from starting with reactants or starting with products.
2.The Reactant and Product concentrations are constant/unchanging [ ] 3.The Macroscopic (observable) properties are constant
Large enough properties to be observed with the naked eyes. Ex; colour changes, total pressure,etc
Yet microscopic changes occur at the atomic or molecular level. 4.The system is in a Dynamic Equilibrium as the forward and reverse reactions continue.
5. Equilibrium will Only shift or change when conditions change -->later topic.

Constant temperature

Think...2NH3(g) N2(g) + 3H2(g)
This is how the above reaction occurs at equilibrium. It means:
__________________________________________________________________________________

2NH3(g) N2(g) + 3H2(g)
If there was a gas mixture of NH3, N2, H2 put in a container and after a few mins it was found that 2 moles of NH3 react for every 3 moles of products which react. Is this mixture at equilibrium?

Clearing out misconceptions• What we refer to is technically called
“Dynamic Equilibrium” as in, it is active and both the reactions continue to occur. They do not stop.
