Chemical equilibrium is the point at which the concentrations of reactants and products do not change with time. It would appear as if the reaction has stopped‚ but in fact‚ the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal‚ causing the reactants and products to be created at the same rate. This can be expressed mathematically in the form of the equilibrium constant. The following is the general equation for a reversible chemical reaction: aA+bB →cC+dD

Equilibrium and Acid Base Test Review: May 2012 Things to know: 1. Explain DYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM. Why does a reaction at equilibrium look like it is NOT reacting? 2. Are all reactions equilibrium reactions? What assumptions do we make when we say that a reaction does NOT take place or that it is UNIDIRECTIONAL and goes 100% to completion 3. Be able to sketch a graph of the following (assuming that you start with all reactants and no products) : a. A reaction that really doesn’t do anything

Equilibrium In your text (Chang‚ 6th Ed) : Ch. 15 Chemical Equilibrium‚ esp. Section 15.3 Purpose: The Law of Mass Action will be examined via a series of samples using the same reaction‚ but different stating concentrations. The equilibrium constant‚ K‚ for each reaction will be calculated‚ demonstrating that K for a given reaction at a fixed temperature is a constant‚ independent of starting concentrations. Background: For a general reaction aA + bB ↔ cC + dD‚ the Law of Mass Action

Introduction Chemical reactions don’t typically go to completion. Instead‚ the system goes to an intermediate state where the rate of the forward reaction and the rate of the reverse reaction equal each other. At this point‚ the concentrations do not change with time. These reactions are said to be in equilibrium. Equilibrium is depended on a particular temperature‚ and the concentrations of reactants and products have to follow a rule demonstrated by the equilibrium constant Kc. The equilibrium concentrations

What Factors Affect Chemical Equilibrium? Introduction: In investigation 14‚ “What Factors Affect Chemical Equilibrium?”‚ the purpose was to find out which reagents caused a change in the chemical equilibrium. A deep red color was formed when Iron Nitrate [Fe(NO3)3 (aq)] was mixed with water and Ammonium Thiocyanate [NH4NCS (aq)]. The product of these two reactants was Iron Thiocyanate(FeNCS). After different trials of mixing the given reagents

Chemical Equilibrium ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- RESULTS AND DISCUSSION A. Iron-Silver Equilibrium In studying equilibrium between iron and silver‚ 0.10 M FeSO4 and 0.10 M AgNO3 were used. The balanced equation for the reaction is: FeSO4 (aq) + 2 AgNO3 (aq) ↔ Fe(NO3)2 (aq) + Ag2SO4 (s) It has a net equation of: Fe2+(aq) + Ag+(aq) ↔ Fe3+(aq) + Ag(s) This part of the experiment
