Chemical equilibrium: Occurs when a reaction and its reverse reaction (opposing reactions) proceed at the same rate
At equilibrium the rate at which products are produced from reactants equals the rate at which reactants are produced from products
At equilibrium a particular ratio of concentration terms equals a constant
The composition of an equilibrium mixture does not change with time
Kc: equilibrium constant
15.2
Law of mass action: expresses the relationship between the concentrations of the reactants and products present at equilibrium
15.3 *
* LARGE VALUE OF Kc: Equilibrium mixture contains more products than reactants = product side (right side)
K > 1
*SMALL VALUE OF Kc: Equilibrium mixture contains less products than reactants = reactant side (left side)
K < 1
The equilibrium-constant expression for a reaction written in one direction is the reciprocal of the one for the reaction written in the reverse direction
Multiplying all the stoichiometric coefficients by a number gives the equilibrium constant for the original reaction raised to that number

Le chateliers principle: IF a system at equilibrium is disturbed by a change in temperature, pressure, or the concentration of one of the components, the system will shift its equilibrium position so as to counteract the effect of the disturbance
% of NH3 at equilibrium decreases with increasing temperature and increases with increasing pressure * * Endothermic reaction: increase in temperature shifts equilibrium to right reactant absorbs heat
Increasing T results in an increase K * Exothermic reaction: Temperature increase shifts equilibrium to left product gives off heat
Increasing T results in decreasing K * * Increasing pressure ( decreasing volume): equilibrium shifts in
