LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET

Chemical Equilibrium

Background Information for Learners

Chemical equilibrium occurs when a reaction and its reverse reaction proceed at the same
rate. As a system approaches equilibrium, both the forward and reverse reactions are occurring.
At equilibrium, the forward and reverse reactions are proceeding at the same rate.
In a system at equilibrium, both the forward and reverse reactions are running
simultaneously. We write the chemical equation with a double arrow:

Learning Competency with code

Explain chemical equilibrium in terms of the reaction rates of the forward and the reverse
reaction (STEM_GC11CEIVb-e-145).

Directions/ Instructions

Read and analyze the table below and give what is ask in the problem.

The equilibrium concentrations from two experiments of reactions (c) and (d) above are
tabulated below. Calculate the Kc in the last two columns in each table.

Observation in the experiments

Answer as directed.
Answer the following questions: Write your answer on the space provided in every question.

1. Consider the generic reversible reaction: a A + b B  d D + e E

a. What does it mean if Q < Kc?
- If Q < Kc, it tells that the net forwards reaction is proceeding.

b. What does it mean if Q > Kc?

- If Q > Kc, it tells that the reverse reaction is proceeding.

2. Consider an aqueous solution containing oxalic acid ([H2C2O4] = 0.38 M), fluoride ions ([F - ] =
4.13 M), hydrofluoric acid ([HF] = 1.75 M ) and oxalate ions ([C2O4 2- ] = 0.14 M):
H2C2O4(aq) + 2 F- (aq)  2 HF(aq) + C2O4 2- (aq) with Kc = 2.1
Determine whether this system is…
a.) at equilibrium, or b.) if the net forward reaction is proceeding, or c.) if the net reverse
reaction is proceeding. State your response and Justify your conclusion with the appropriate
calculation.

Reflection
Therefore, if the Qc's outcome is less than Ck, then the net forward reaction is proceeding
and if Qc is greater than Ck, the reverse reaction is proceeding.
