Changing Kc
Like
H, when we manipulate a chemical reaction, the value of the equilibrium constant changes.
Three
possible changes:
1.Running
Reaction in Reverse
2.Multiplying
3.Adding
Reaction by Common Factor
Equilibriums
+Option 1: Running Reactions in Reverse
If
we have the equilibrium
N2O ⇌ 2NO2
Then
the value of the equilibrium constant is:
2
[NO2 ]
Kc
1 0.212
[N2O4 ]
If
we reverse the equilibrium, then it is now:
2NO ⇌ N2O
Therefore,
the new equilibrium constant is
1
[N2O4 ]

Kc
2
[NO2 ]
0.212
When a reaction is run in reverse, the equilibrium constant is

Option 2: Multiplying by a Constant
Like
Hess’s Law, we can multiply equilibriums in order to add them.
If
we multiply the previous equilibrium by two, then we get:
⇌
2N2O
4NO2

Option 3: Adding Equilibriums
Like
Hess’s Law, we can add equilibriums to obtain the desired reaction
When
we add equilibriums, the equilibrium constants are multiplied.

Changing Kc Summary
1.
Kc of a rxn in the reverse direction is the inverse of the Kc of the forward rxn.
2.
The Kc of a rxn that has been multiplied by a number is the Kc raised to a power equal to that number.
3.
The Kc for a net rxn made up of two or more steps is the product of the equilibrium constants for the individual steps.

The
following equilibrium was obtained at
823 K:
CoO (s) + H2 (g)
CoO (s) + CO (g)
⇌
Co (s) + H2O (g)
⇌ 67
Kc =
Co (s) + CO2 (g)
490
Kc =

Based
on these equilibrium, calculate the equilibrium constant for:
H2 (g) + CO2 (g)
Kc= 0.14
Assume
CO (g) + H2O
it is also at 823 K.

Homogeneous vs.
Heterogeneous Equilibria
Homogeneous
When
Equilibria
all substances are in the same phase
Heterogeneous
When
Equilibria
substances are in different phases
Whenever a pure solid or a pure liquid is involved in a heterogeneous equilibrium, its concentration is not included in the equilibrium constant expression for the reaction +
Example 1
Write
the equilibrium-constant expression Kc for the following rxns:
a)
CO2 (g) + H2O (g) ⇌ CO(g) + H2O (l)
b)
SnO2 (s) + 2CO (g) ⇌ Sn(s) + 2CO2
(g)
+Calculating Equilibrium Concentrations
Oftentimes,
we know the amount of substance that we begin with, but the equilibrium amounts are unknown.
We
use stoichiometry to help solve for the equilibrium concentrations using the initial conditions and the value of Kc.
