JEE Main - Core Points for Revision - Ch. 8. Equilibrium II – Ionic Equilibrium in Solutions


Importance of  Core Revision Points: Core Revision Points are important because if you remember them strongly, many more points related to them will come out of your memory and help you to answer question and problems. Read them many times and make sure you remember them very strongly.


8.1 Acid-base Concepts

Acids and bases definitions (Arrhenius, Bronsted and Lewis)

Arrhenius defined acid as a hydrogen compound which in water solution give hydrogen ions.
He defined base as a hydroxide compound which in water solution gives hydroxide ions.


Lowry and Bronsted
An acid is defined as a substance having a tendency of lose or to donate one or more protons.
A base is defined as a substance having a tendency to accept or add a proton


Lewis Theory of Acids and Bases

Acid: An acid is any substance (molecule, ion or atom) that can accept a lone pair of electrons to form a coordinate bond (*Remember coordinate bond and lone pair topics in chapter on Bonding)

Base: Base is any species (molecule, ion or atom) that can donate a lone pair of electrons to form a co-ordinate bond.

8.2 Acid- base Equilibria and Ionization of Acids and Bases


8.3 Ionization of Water – Ionic Product of Water


Ionic Product of Water

The Ionic Product of Water, Kw, is the equilibrium constant for the reaction in which water undergoes an acid-base reaction with itself. That is, water is behaving simultaneously as both an acid and a base.

H2O(l) + H2O(l) = H3O+(aq) + OH-(aq)

Kw = [H3O+(aq)][OH-(aq)]

At 298 K, the value of Kw is 1 x 10-14 mol^2 dm^-6. This makes the concentration of H+ ions equal to 1 x 10-7 mol dm^-3, and therefore the pH is 7. This is defined as 'neutral'.

From the above equilibrium expression, taking -log10 throughout

pKw = pH + pOH = 14

Ionic Product does not apply only to water. It applies, for example, to the equilibrium in liquid ammonia:

NH3 + NH3 = NH2- + NH4+

8.4 Expressing Hydrogen Ion Concentration – pH Scale


pH

pH is related to hydrogen ion concentration. Since the H+ ion concentration in solution is often small, the concentration is generally expressed as the logarithm of its reciprocal, which is called a pH value. Therefore, pH is defined as

pH = -log[H+]

For a ten times increase in H+ ion concentration there is a decrease in the pH value of one unit.

Given the pH of a solution, its H+ concentration can be found:

[H+(aq)] = antilog -pH


or

[H+(aq)] = 10^-pH



8.5 Polyprotic Acids and Bases

8.6 Hydrolysis of Salts
Hydrolysis is the name for a substance chemically reacting with water.

Hydrolysis should be distinguished from solvation, which is the process of water molecules associating themselves with individual solute molecules or ions.

When a chemical reaction comes to equilibrium, there is a mixture of all involved substances in the reaction vessel. This mixture is characterized by a constant composition. (constant composition DOES NOT imply equal composition.)

The key point that makes a reaction come to equilibrium is that it is reversible. This means that both the forward reaction and the reverse reaction can happen,
The reaction comes to equilibrium when the rates of the two reactions (forward and reverse) become equal.

8.7 Acid base Titrations and Indicators

8.8 Solubility Product


Solubility product of a salt at a given temperature is equal to the product of the concentrations of its ions in the saturated solution, with each concentration term raised to the power equal to the number of moles of ions produced on dissociation of one mole of the substance.

JEE Main - Core Points for Revision - 7. Equilibrium I – Equilibrium Process and Phase Equilibria

Importance of  Core Revision Points: Core Revision Points are important because if you remember them strongly, many more points related to them will come out of your memory and help you to answer question and problems. Read them many times and make sure you remember them very strongly.






7.1 Equilibrium and Its dynamic nature


In most of the reaction carried out in closed vessels, reaction does not go to completion under given set of conditions of temperature and pressure. Initially, in the vessel, only reactants are present, and as the reaction proceeds, the concetration of reactants will decrease and that of products will increase.

After some time a stage is reached when no further change in concetrations of reactants and products is observed. This state is called equilibrium state and some of the important questions regarding this phenomenon are:

1. why do reactions seem to stop before they reach completion?
2. What is the extent to which a reaction proceed?
3. Can we modify the conditions to improve the yield of products?

Equilibrium - The phenomenon

Equilibrium is the state at which the concentrations of reactants and products do not change with time.

It is important to remember that equilibrium is achieved in closed vessel reactions only.

The important aspect of reaction equilibrium is the reversibility. The products combine and form reactants. At equilibrium, both the forward and backward reactions are taking place. The rates of forward and backward reactions are same or equal at the equilibrium. As a result, the concentration of each species becomes constant.

The equilibrium is termed as dynamic reaction equilibrium. Dynamic means at a microscopic level, the system is in motion. But at macroscopic level, concentrations are not changing.


Chemical reactions may be classified as reversible reactions and irreversible reactions.

Example of irrereversible reaction

Decomposition of potassium chlorate into potassium chloride and oxygen. Even in a closed vessel this reaction is not reversible.

Example of reversible reaction

1. Decompositon of calcium carbonate. When solid calcium carbonate is heated in a closed vessel at 1073 K, it decomposes into solid calcium oxide and gaseous carbon dioxide. Due to gaseous CO2 there is pressure of gas in the vessel which can be measured. At a constant temperature it can be observed that pressure becomes constant after some time, which means no further CO2 is being produced even though calcium carbonate is still there in the vessel. The constant pressure indicates to us that reaction equilibrium is reached.

Characteristics of chemical equilibrium

1. Chemical equilibrium is dynamic in nature (already explained).

2.The properties of the system become constant at equilibrium and remain unchanged thereafter unless external or internal conditions are changed.

3. The equilibrium is attained only if the system is closed one.

4. As the reactions are reversible and happen under the same conditions, equilibrium can be attained from either direction.

5. A catalyst does not alter the equilibrium point. The catalyst increases the rate of reaction, and at equilibrium it increases both forward and backward reaction rates. But it does not alter equilibrium point, the concentrations of products and reactants at a given set of conditions. But the equilibrium is reached earlier in the presence of a catalyst.

7.2 Equilibrium in Physical Processes

7.3 Equilibria involving Chemical Systems

7.4 Law of Chemical equilibrium and equilibrium Constant


There are reactions where one can see the reverse action also to be active and see the equilibrium point. In this case

A + B → C + D and

C+D → A+B both reactions keep taking place.

At the point of equilibrium the rate of both reactions is same. Formation of A+B is equal to consumption of A+B.



Rate of forward reaction = k-f[A][B]

Rate of reverse reaction or backward reaction = k-r[C][D]

Therefore k-f[A][B] = k-r[C]{D]

This gives k-f/k-r = [C]{D]/[A][B]

The equilibrium constant is always written as products by reactants.

For the a general reaction

aA + bB ↔ cC+dD (Normal two arrows are used for reversible reaction. Only one arrow with heads on both sides is used here to tide over the inability to show two arrows.)

k-eq = [C]^c[D]^d/[A]^a[B]^b

The equilibrium constant may or may not have units.

In the case of 2A ↔ 2B +C

The units of equilibrium constant are going to be: (mol/l)^2(mol/l)/(mol/l)^2

= mol/l

7.5 Types of Chemical Equilibria
7.6 Applications of Equilibrium Constant
7.7 Factors Which change the State of Equilibrium – Le Chatelier’s Principle
7.8 Applications of Le Chatelier’s Principle of Physical Equilibrium

The hydroxy derivatives of aliphatic hydrocarbons are termed alcohols. They contain one or more hydroxyl (OH) groups.

Example:
Methyl Alcohol CH-3OH
Ehtyl alcohol C-2H-5OH also written as CH-3CH-2OH
Propyl alcohol C-3H-7OH also written as CH-3CH-2CH-2OH

Phenols are aromatic hydroxy compounds. In phenols, one or more hydroxyl group is directly attached to the aromatic (benzene) nucleus.

If OH group is not directly attached to be carbon atom in the benzene ring, but present in the molecule as a part of the alkyl side chain group, then the compound is not termed as phenol.It is called aromatic alcohol because it resembles aliphatic alcohols in its characteristics.
