1. Introduction
Comments on equilibrium constants
i. A reaction can proceed in the forward direction or reverse
direction depending on the initial composition.
ii. All reactions are reversible. A reaction is considered
completion when its equilibrium constant is very large 
reactants’ concentration is negligible in the equilibrium
mixture.
iii. A reaction can proceed to completion if a product is
removed from the equilibrium mixture (in precipitation,
evaporation, or weak electrolyte).

2. Chemical equilibrium in various systems
In ideal solutions

• Ex: CH3COOC2H5 + H2O  CH3COOH + C2H5OH


– Initial: 1 mol 1 mol 0 mol 0 mol
– Equil: 2/3 mol 2/3 mol 1/3 mol 1/3 mol

a. Determine equilibrium constant


b. Calculate % ester reacted if at beginning
nH2O = 10 nCH3COOC2H5
c. Calculate nH2O / nCH3COOC2H5 if 99% ester reacted at
equilibrium.
