The equilibrium constant, K, for the reaction, c A A + c B B c Y Y + c Z Z is given by a a K = 5.2 a a CY Y CA A CZ Z CB B where a A , a B , a Y and a Z are the activities of A, B, Y and Z under equilibrium conditions, and c A , c B , c Y and c Z are the stoichiometric coefficients of A, B, Y and Z, respectively. Moreover, any combination of a A , a B , a Y and a Z satisfying this equation constitutes equilibrium conditions. The equilibrium constant depends only temperature. CX For more general reactions, there are additional a X factors in the numerator, if there are additional products; and in the denominator, if there are additional reactants. Examples are provided as follows: Reaction Equilibrium constant Br 2 (g) + Cl 2 (g) 2 BrCl(g) K = p p p 2 BrCl Br2 Cl2 H 2 (g) + I 2 (s) 2 HI(g) K = p p 2 HI H2 N 2 (g) + 3 H 2 (g) 2 NH 3 (g) K = p p 2 NH3 3 N p 2 H2 CaO(s) + H 2 O(l) Ca 2+ (aq) + 2 OH − (aq) K = [Ca ][OH ] 2+ − 2 HClO(aq) + H 2 O(l) ClO − (aq) + H 3 O + (aq) NaF(s) Na + (aq) + F − (aq) K = K a = K = K sp = + − + − [H3O ][ClO ] [H ][ClO ] [HClO] + − [Na ][F ] or [HClO] The last two examples show named equilibrium constants, K a and K sp , the acid ionization constant and the solubility product, respectively. In general, acids are characterized by the acid ionization constant, K a + − [H3O ][A ] = , 5.3 [ HA] the equilibrium constant for the acid ionization reaction, HA(aq) + H 2 O(l) H 3 O + (aq) + A − (aq) .

Bases are characterized by the base ionization constant, K b + − [HB ][OH ] = , 5.4 [ B] the equilibrium constant for the base ionization reaction, Salts are characterized by the solubility product, B(aq) + H 2 O(l) HB + (aq) + OH − (aq) . K sp c+ a a− c = [M ] [X ] 5.5 the equilibrium constant for the dissolution of the salt, M a X c (s) a M c+ (aq) + c X a− (aq) . Example 5.1: Write down the equilibrium constant, K, for each of the following reactions. (a) CaCO 3 (s) CaO(s) + CO 2 (g) (b) NH 4 HS(s) NH 3 (g) + H 2 S(g) (c) NO(g) + O 3 (g) NO 2 (g) + O 2 (g) (d) Cl 2 (aq) + H 2 O(l) H + (aq) + Cl − (aq) + HClO(aq) (e) Cl 2 (g) + 2 Fe 2+ (aq) 2 Cl − (aq) + 2 Fe 3+ (aq) Approach: Look for gases or aqueous species. The equilibrium constant is constructed from the partial pressures of gases and the concentrations of aqueous species, raised to the associated stoichiometric coefficients in the balanced chemical reaction. Products appear in the numerator, while reactants appear in the denominator. (a) K = p CO2 The equilibrium constant is just the partial pressure of carbon dioxide. K here is the vapour pressure of solid carbon dioxide. In an enclosed space, CO 2 (s) will sublimate until the partial pressure of CO 2 (g) equals K and the solid and gas are in equilibrium. (b) K = p p NH H S 3 2 NH 4 HS(s) does not appear in the equilibrium constant because it is a pure solid. All solids and liquids you will encounter in chemical reactions are pure (water, in aqueous reactions, is treated as though it were pure). (c) K = p NO2 O2 p NO p p O3 (d) + − [H ][Cl ][HClO] K = [Cl ] 2 Page 41 of 88
