CHATELIER’S PRINCIPLE
OBJECTIVES:
𝑲 =¿ ¿
The equilibrium constant (K)
unitless value.
Temperature- dependent.
Reaction is constant for a given temperature, it allows for
the determination of the equilibrium concentrations of
reactants and products.
EXAMPLE
THE EQUILIBRIUM CONCENTRATION OF IS 0.025 M AT 25
]=
HOMOGENOUS EQUILIBRIA
Involves reactants and products that are present in only one phase.
The equilibrium constant of gaseous system can be expressed in terms of the concentrations and
the partial pressures of the gases involved.
Two expressions for equilibrium constant instead of K.
- partial pressures
- molar concentrations
are related to this equation:
Pure solid and liquid substances do not appear in the equilibrium constant
expression.
Molar concentrations of these substances are always constant (having a value
equal to 1)
Predicting the
Direction of a reaction
Consider again the reversible reaction
𝑵 𝟐 ( 𝒈 )+𝟑 𝑯 𝟐 ( 𝒈 ) ⇌ 𝟐 𝑵𝑯 𝟑(𝒈)

Le Chateliers Principle
States that when stress is introduced to a system in
equilibrium, the system will adjust to relieve the stress
and regain equilibrium.
