Chemistry Equilibrium Basics

1. Chemical equilibrium is a dynamic state where the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal, resulting in constant concentrations of reactants and products. 2. The equilibrium constant, Kc, is a measure of the ratio of products over reactants concentrations raised to their stoichiometric coefficients at equilibrium. 3. Pure solids and liquids are excluded from equilibrium constant expressions because their concentrations are considered constant.

Explain why pure solid and liquid can be ignored


EQUILIBRIUM while writing equilibrium constant expression?
It may be defined as a condition at which rate of forward reaction becomes 2. Write the expression for the equilibrium constant,
equal to rate of backward reaction Kc for each of the following reactions:
Chemical equilibrium is dynamic in nature.
 At equilibrium, rate of forward reaction = rate of backward
reaction.
 Concentration of reactants and products remain constant at
equilibrium.
 Reaction taking place in both directions without stopping
3. The following concentrations were obtained for

the formation of NH3 from N2 and H2 at
equilibrium at 500K. [N2] = 1.5 x10-2M. [H2] =
3.0 x10-2 M and [NH3] = 1.2 x 10-2M. Calculate
eqlm constant.

Ans: 1.06 x 103
