Question Answer
Dynamic equilibrium (3) Closed system forward and backward reactions are occurring at equal rates The concentrations of reactants and products stays constant
Effect of increasing Temperature on equilibrium If temperature is increased the equilibrium will shift to oppose this Moves in the endothermic direction to try and reduce the temperature by absorbing heat.
Effect of decreasing Temperature on equilibrium If temperature is decreased the equilibrium will shift to oppose this and move in the exothermic direction to try and increase the temperature by giving out heat.
Increasing pressure equilibrium to shift towards the side with fewer moles of gas to oppose the change and thereby reduce the pressure. Leads to higher yield of smaller side
Why industrially high pressures aren't always cost effective high electrical energy costs for pumping the gases to make a high pressure and the equipment to contain the high pressures is expensive
Effect of Concentration on equilibrium I2 + 2OH- --> I- + IO- + H2O (3) ^[OH]- = eq. RHS shift to oppose this and remove OH- ions. Higher yield of I- and IO-. The colour would change from brown to colourless.
Effect of catalyst no effect on the position of equilibrium, but it will speed up the rate at which the equilibrium is achieved.
Why? It does not effect the position of equilibrium because it speeds up the rates of the forward and backward reactions by the same amount.
Haber process N2 + 3H2 <-> 2NH3 T= 450c, P= 200 – 1000 atm, catalyst = Fe
Contact process Stage 1 S (s) + O2(g) <-> SO2(g) Stage 2 SO2 (g) + ½ O2 (g) <-> SO3 (g) T= 450c, P= 1 to 2 atm, catalyst = V2O5
Production of methanol from CO CO (g) + 2H2(g) <-> CH3OH (g) T= 400c, P= 50 atm, catalyst = Cr/Zn oxides
Hydration of ethene to produce ethanol CH2=CH2 (g) + H2O (g) <-> CH3CH2OH(l) T= 300c, P= 70 atm, catalyst = conc. H3PO4
Problems with high pressure in ethene High pressure also leads to unwanted polymerisation of ethene to poly(ethene)
Conditions effecting Kc Kc only changes with temperature
Magnitudes of Kc 1=halfway >1=equilibrium favours the product <1=equilibrium favours the reactants
