Part 3: Equilibria
Using ICE for equilibria
Using ICE for equilibria
• Write out the chemical equation• Setup the ICE table:
one column for each reactant and productone row each for Initial/Change/Equilibrium
• Define one change as x, express the other changes in it, fill the table
• Use stoichiometry or the rate constant expression to get an equation in x, solve it, calculate all fields

Formation of water -using approximations

Formation of water -using approximations
KC = [H2O]2/([O2][H2]2) = (2x)2/[(.1-x)(.2-2x)2] = (2x)2/[4(.1-x)3] = 3.3*1081.
Not easy to solve. Problem!

Formation of water -using approximations
KC = (2x)2/[4(.1-x)3] = 3.3*1081
x must be very close to 0.1.
There is a standard "trick" to solve problems like this. You want to neglect a small variable relative to a larger known quantity.
That works best if we are trying to solve for a small variable. Since the reaction is virtually complete, it is better to solve for the fraction (y) that has not reacted.
KC = [H2O]2/([O2][H2]2) = (0.2-2y)2/[y(2y)2] = (0.2-2y)2/[4y3] (0.2)2/[4y3] = 3.3*1081
y3 = (0.2)2/(4*3.3*1081) = 3.03*10-84 y = 1.45*10-28 mol/Lor a total of 0.00087 molecules. "Product-favoured"
