2.6.3 · Chemistry › Equilibrium
Gas-phase reaction ke liye hum equilibrium constant ko concentrations (K c ) ya partial pressures (K p ) dono se likh sakte hain. Dono usi equilibrium ko describe karte hain, isliye dono ka aapas mein connection hona chahiye. In dono ke beech ka bridge ideal gas law hai, jo pressure aur concentration ko connect karta hai. Yeh link sirf ==Δ n == par depend karta hai — yani products aur reactants ke beech gas moles ka fark.
Ek general gas reaction a A + b B ⇌ c C + d D ke liye:
K c = [ A ] a [ B ] b [ C ] c [ D ] d , K p = p A a p B b p C c p D d
[ X ] = molar concentration (mol L⁻¹)
p X = gas X ka partial pressure
Δ n = ( c + d ) − ( a + b ) = (gaseous products ke moles) − (gaseous reactants ke moles)
Δ n ke teen cases:
Δ n
Relationship
Matlab
Δ n = 0
K p = K c
dono sides gas ke equal moles
Δ n > 0
K p > K c (agar R T > 1 )
zyada gas moles produce hote hain
Δ n < 0
K p < K c
gas moles consume hote hain
Worked example Example 1 — Ammonia synthesis
N 2 ( g ) + 3 H 2 ( g ) ⇌ 2 N H 3 ( g ) at 400 K, K c = 0.5 . K p nikalo (R = 0.0821).
Step 1: Δ n = 2 − ( 1 + 3 ) = − 2 .
Kyun? Gas moles count karo: 2 product, 4 reactant.
Step 2: K p = K c ( R T ) Δ n = 0.5 × ( 0.0821 × 400 ) − 2
Kyun? Directly substitute karo; negative exponent note karo kyunki gas moles decrease ho rahe hain.
Step 3: R T = 32.84 , to K p = 0.5/ ( 32.84 ) 2 = 0.5/1078 = 4.6 × 1 0 − 4 .
Kyun chota? Δ n < 0 aur R T > 1 , to ( R T ) Δ n < 1 ⇒ K p < K c . ✔
Worked example Example 2 — Decomposition (
Δ n > 0 )
P C l 5 ( g ) ⇌ P C l 3 ( g ) + C l 2 ( g ) at 500 K, K c = 2.0 × 1 0 − 2 .
Step 1: Δ n = 2 − 1 = + 1 .
Step 2: K p = 2.0 × 1 0 − 2 × ( 0.0821 × 500 ) 1
Kyun? Gas ka ek extra mole banta hai, exponent + 1 .
Step 3: R T = 41.05 , K p = 0.02 × 41.05 = 0.821 .
Yahan K p > K c expected hai. ✔
Worked example Example 3 —
Δ n = 0
H 2 ( g ) + I 2 ( g ) ⇌ 2 H I ( g ) , koi bhi T, K c = 49 .
Δ n = 2 − 2 = 0 ⇒ ( R T ) 0 = 1 ⇒ K p = K c = 49 .
Kyun? Gas moles mein koi change nahi, to pressure aur concentration formulations ek hi hain. ✔
Δ n mein solids/liquids count karna
Galat soch: "C a C O 3 ( s ) ⇌ C a O ( s ) + C O 2 ( g ) mein, Δ n = 2 − 1 = + 1 ."
Kyun sahi lagta hai: Tum equation ki har species count karte ho.
Fix: Sirf gases count hoti hain. Yahan Δ n = 1 − 0 = + 1 (sirf C O 2 gas hai). Pure solids/liquids K mein aate hi nahi.
T Celsius mein use karna
Galat: Room temperature ke liye T = 27 plug karna.
Fix: Kelvin mein convert karo: T = 27 + 273 = 300 K . Gas law sirf absolute temperature mein kaam karta hai.
Δ n ka sign ulta karna
Galat soch: Δ n = reactants − products.
Fix: Hamesha products − reactants . Yaad rakho: K jaisi constants "products over reactants" hoti hain, to Δ n bhi isi tarah hai.
Common mistake Bhool jaana ki
K p / K c strict thermodynamics mein dimensionless hote hain
Problems mein hum R ke zariye units rakhte hain, lekin true thermodynamic K activities (dimensionless) use karta hai. Exam level ke kaam ke liye R ko units se match karna kaafi hai.
What is the relationship between Kp and Kc? K p = K c ( R T ) Δ n
K p = K c ( R T ) Δ n mein Δ n define karoGaseous products ke moles minus gaseous reactants ke moles (products − reactants).
K p = K c ( R T ) Δ n derive karne mein kaun sa gas law use hota hai?Ideal gas law, p X = [ X ] R T ke zariye.
K p = K c kab hota hai?Jab Δ n = 0 (dono sides equal gas moles), kyunki ( R T ) 0 = 1 .
N 2 + 3 H 2 ⇌ 2 N H 3 ke liye Δ n kya hai?2 − 4 = − 2 .
Δ n mein kaun si species count hoti hain?Sirf gaseous species; solids aur liquids exclude hote hain.
Temperature ki unit kya honi chahiye? Kelvin.
atm aur mol/L ke liye R ki value? 0.0821 L atm K − 1 mol − 1 .
Agar Δ n > 0 aur R T > 1 , to K p , K c se bada hai ya chota? Bada (K p > K c ).
p X ko concentration ke terms mein derive karo.p X V = n X R T ⇒ p X = ( n X / V ) R T = [ X ] R T .
Recall Feynman: ek 12-saal ke bache ko samjhao
Socho ek reaction ek box ke andar ho rahi hai jo gases se bhari hai. Tum describe kar sakte ho ki har gas "kitni bheedi" hai do tarike se: ya to har litre mein kitne molecules hain (concentration), ya wo walls par kitna zor lagate hain (pressure). Ideal gas law kehta hai dono same cheez hain, bas R T se scale hoti hai: push = crowd × R T . To equilibrium constant likhne ke do tarike sirf kuch R T 's se different hain. Kitne R T 's? Bilkul arrow ke right aur left side ke gas molecules ke number ka fark. Agar dono sides mein gas molecules ki same number hai, to R T 's cancel ho jaate hain aur dono constants equal hote hain!
"Products Push Past Reactants" → Δ n = products − reactants.
Aur "P for Pressure, P for Products first" taaki sign sahi rahe. Poora formula: Kp = Kc times RT to the change in gas moles.
Concentration = nX over V
Kp from partial pressures
Delta n = product gas moles - reactant gas moles
