Relationship between equilibrium and enthalpy

[105561735]

How do changes in concentration affect equilibria and how is it related to enthalpy changes?

[hadydamaj27]

Changes in concentration affect equilibria by shifting the equilibrium position to counteract the change. While changes in concentration do not directly affect the enthalpy change of a reaction, they can indirectly influence the heat absorbed or released during the reaction as the system moves toward restoring equilibrium.

When concentration changes affect the equilibrium position, the system moves to establish a new equilibrium where the Gibbs free energy is minimized. This shift in equilibrium position influences the equilibrium constant, which in turn relates to the enthalpy change of the reaction through the relationship between Gibbs free energy and enthalpy.

Hi! Changes in concentration can affect equilibria by causing shifts in the equilibrium position. These shifts are influenced by enthalpy changes in the reaction. Exothermic reactions usually favor the forward direction while endothermic reactions tend to favor the reverse direction under similar conditions.

Changes in concentration affect chemical equilibria according to Le Chatelier's principle, which states that if a system at equilibrium is subjected to a change in concentration, temperature, or pressure, the system will adjust to counteract the effect of the change and restore equilibrium. Specifically, changes in concentration can shift the equilibrium position of a reaction to either the left (reactants) or the right (products) to re-establish equilibrium.

Regarding enthalpy changes, they are related to changes in concentration through the reaction quotient (Q) and the equilibrium constant (K). The reaction quotient (Q) is the ratio of product concentrations to reactant concentrations at any given point during the reaction, whereas the equilibrium constant (K) is the ratio of product concentrations to reactant concentrations at equilibrium.

Increase in temperature, increase in volume, melting, and vaporization all increase entropy. If entropy is negative, |TDeltaS| < deltaH. If entropy is positive, |TDeltaS| > deltaH

A change in concentration of reactants or products shifts the equilibrium accordingly to either produce more reactants or more products, depending on what there is an over abundance of. When enthalpy is negative, the reaction is exothermic. If you increase the temperature of an exothermic reaction, it will decrease the equilibrium constant and favor reactant formation. When enthalpy is positive, the reaction is endothermic. If you increase temperature of an endothermic reaction, it will increase the equilibrium constant and favor product formation.
