The Concept of Equilibrium and the Equilibrium Constant + What is equilibrium? A state of balance It can be static (like tug o war) It can be dynamic‚ like cars moving across a bridge‚ and like most of the reactions we will be studying + Chemical Equilibrium Occurs when opposing reactions are proceeding at equal rates Rate at which products form is equal to the rate at which reactants disappear Have the illusion that the reaction has stopped +At equilibrium‚ the concentrations

Instead‚ by increasing the concentration of the cathode‚ the voltage of the galvanic cell will decrease due to the equilibrium shift to the left. The highest concentration (1.5 mol dm-3 ) was the lowest out of the 3 trials at 1.68 volts‚ thus proving that the higher concentration the lower the voltage. When the concentration of the product decreases‚ it will drive the equilibrium to the right to minimize the impact. Although‚ the lowest calculation (0.5 mol dm-3) is not necessarily the highest out

Introduction: Solubility equilibrium refers to the dissolution of a compound in water. Specifically‚ the degree to which a compound is soluble (Tro‚ 739). This can be measured using the expression Ksp = [Mb+]a[Xa-]b‚ in which Ksp represents the solubility product constant (Thorne‚ 90). This constant is important because it does not change at a given temperature‚ regardless of the solution a compound is in; a smaller constant would indicate lower overall solubility. It is important to note that

Chemical equilibrium is a state of balance within a system of chemical reactions. Equilibrium in chemistry is achieved when substances are produced and broken down at the same rate and thus‚ the number of molecules of each substances becomes constant. Thermodynamics is a branch of physical science that involves the relationship between heat and other forms of energy (Energy‚ Enthalpy‚ and the First Law of Thermodynamics). There is a more specific area of thermodynamics that explicitly pertains to

Introduction: Chemical equilibrium is when the concentrations of the reactants and products have reached a state where reactions occurring in one direction are at the same rate of reactions occurring in the opposite direction. This process‚ called dynamic equilibrium‚ is the main subject of Le Chatelier’s Principle. Le Chatelier pointed out that if a system at equilibrium is subjected to a stress that momentarily causes the system to be not in equilibrium‚ a spontaneous change will occur to

(a) Define the term equilibrium potential and use the Nernst equation (see Appendix) to show how the equilibrium potentials for both sodium and potassium are calculated. Equilibrium potential is the potential of the membrane when there is no net flow of ions from one gradient to the other gradient. The ions are equal and are opposite of each other but not moving from one side to the other. Sodium: Ena=2.303((8.31 J m-1 K-1)(310K))/((1(= 9.65 x 104 c m-1))(log(150/15))= 61.54 mV Ek=2.303((8

DISCUSSION Chemical equilibrium and its different applications were studied in this experiment. The Le Chatelier’s principle‚ which is the main principle behind chemical equilibrium‚ states that‚ “If an external stress is applied to a system at equilibrium‚ the system adjusts in such a way that the stree is partially offset as the system reaches a new equilibrium position.”[1] The “stress” can be a change in concentration‚ volume‚ pressure‚ or temperature that disturbs the equilibrium

February 25‚ 2013 Lab: Equilibrium of Forces Purpose/Objective: The objective of this lab was to test the first condition of equilibrium for a set of concurrent coplanar forces‚ prove Lami’s Theorem‚ and to determine an unknown mass using rules of equilibrium. Procedure: In the lab‚ we wanted to find at what angles three separate weights would create a net zero force on a force table so that the ring holding the weights was exactly centered in the middle
