Chemical Equilibrium化学平衡
When a reaction does not go to completion it reaches a state of dynamic equilibrium — forward and reverse reactions occur at equal rates, and concentrations no longer change. This guide builds the full picture: what reversible reactions are and why they reach equilibrium, how the equilibrium constant $K_{eq}$ encodes the position of equilibrium, how the reaction quotient $Q$ tells you which way a system will shift, how Le Chatelier's principle predicts the effect of concentration, pressure, and temperature changes, how solubility equilibria ($K_{sp}$) extend the same ideas to sparingly soluble salts, how ICE tables (honors) allow quantitative equilibrium calculations, and how the Haber process applies all these principles to industrial ammonia synthesis.当反应未能进行到底时,它达到动态平衡(动态平衡)的状态——正向与逆向反应速率相等,浓度不再变化。本指南系统构建完整图景:可逆反应(可逆反应)的本质与达到平衡的原因、平衡常数(平衡常数)$K_{eq}$ 如何编码平衡位置、反应商(反应商)$Q$ 如何预测体系移动方向、勒沙特列原理(勒沙特列原理)如何预测浓度、压强与温度变化的影响、溶度积(溶度积)$K_{sp}$ 如何将平衡思想推广至微溶盐、ICE 表格(荣誉级)如何实现定量计算,以及哈伯法如何将这些原理应用于工业合成氨。
How to use this guide如何使用本指南
Chemical equilibrium is a Grade-12 topic in every curriculum we map to, and the depth split is stark. US NGSS (HS-PS1-6) is qualitative Le Chatelier only — shift direction when one variable changes, one at a time — and explicitly excludes equilibrium-constant calculation. Ontario SCH4U Strand E, BC Chemistry 12, and Alberta Chemistry 30 Unit D all go fully quantitative: writing $K_{eq}$ and $K_{sp}$ expressions, calculating equilibrium concentrations, ICE-table problems. The table below tells you which sections are core for you; the honors chip flags every section that NGSS students can treat as enrichment.化学平衡是我们所对照的每套大纲中的 12 年级主题,深度差异显著。US NGSS(HS-PS1-6)仅进行定性勒沙特列处理——每次改变一个变量时预测移动方向——明确排除平衡常数计算。安大略 SCH4U E 单元、BC Chemistry 12 以及阿尔伯塔 Chemistry 30 D 单元均进入完整定量处理:书写 $K_{eq}$ 和 $K_{sp}$ 表达式、计算平衡浓度、ICE 表格问题。下表告诉你哪些节是你的核心;荣誉级标记标注了 NGSS 学生可视为拓展内容的每一节。

Once you have located your row, use the two cards below for the speed at which you should work through the recommended sections.找到所在行后,用下面两张卡片决定推进速度。
Memorise four things: at equilibrium, forward rate = reverse rate; $K_{eq} = \frac{[\text{products}]^{\text{coeff}}}{[\text{reactants}]^{\text{coeff}}}$ (omit pure solids/liquids); Le Chatelier predicts the shift direction when a stress is applied; and the Haber process runs at high pressure and moderate temperature. Read every cram-cheat box. Skip the ICE-table derivations if time is short.背熟四件事:平衡时正向速率 = 逆向速率;$K_{eq} = \frac{[\text{products}]^{\text{coeff}}}{[\text{reactants}]^{\text{coeff}}}$(纯固体/纯液体不计入);勒沙特列预测施加压力后的移动方向;哈伯法在高压和适中温度下运行。读每个速记框。若时间紧,可跳过 ICE 表格推导。
Know why $K_{eq}$ is temperature-dependent but pressure- and concentration-independent. Use $Q$ vs $K_{eq}$ comparison to predict shift direction quantitatively. Complete ICE tables from scratch when given initial concentrations and $K_{eq}$. Derive $K_{sp}$ from molar solubility and vice versa. Explain every Le Chatelier prediction using the forward/reverse rate argument, not just the shift direction. ON SCH4U E2.4 and BC Chemistry 12 expect you to calculate equilibrium concentrations, not just quote Le Chatelier.理解为何 $K_{eq}$ 取决于温度,但不受压强和浓度影响。用 $Q$ 与 $K_{eq}$ 的比较定量预测移动方向。在已知初始浓度和 $K_{eq}$ 的情况下从头完成 ICE 表格。从摩尔溶解度推导 $K_{sp}$,反之亦然。用正逆反应速率论证而非仅仅说明移动方向来解释每个勒沙特列预测。ON SCH4U E2.4 与 BC Chemistry 12 要求你计算平衡浓度,而不仅是引用勒沙特列原理。
Reversible Reactions and Dynamic Equilibrium可逆反应与动态平衡
- Reversible reaction可逆反应 — a reaction that can proceed in both directions; written with a double arrow: $\text{A} + \text{B} \rightleftharpoons \text{C} + \text{D}$. The left-to-right direction is the forward reaction; right-to-left is the reverse.— 可沿两个方向进行的反应;用双箭头表示:$\text{A} + \text{B} \rightleftharpoons \text{C} + \text{D}$。从左到右是正向反应;从右到左是逆向反应。
- Dynamic equilibrium动态平衡 — reached when the forward rate equals the reverse rate. Concentrations of all species are constant, but both reactions continue at the molecular level. The system must be closed (no mass exchanged with surroundings).— 当正向速率等于逆向速率时达到动态平衡。所有物种的浓度保持不变,但在分子层面正逆反应仍在继续进行。体系必须是封闭的(与外界无质量交换)。
- Key sign of equilibrium平衡的关键标志 : macroscopic properties (concentration, colour, pressure) are constant, yet the system is not static — molecules continue to react in both directions. NGSS HS-PS1-6 Clarification Statement explicitly requires the "connection between changes at the macroscopic level and what happens at the molecular level.":宏观性质(浓度、颜色、压强)恒定不变,但体系并非静止——分子仍在双向持续反应。NGSS HS-PS1-6 澄清说明明确要求"宏观层面变化与分子层面发生情况之间的联系"。
Dinitrogen tetroxide decomposes reversibly: $\text{N}_2\text{O}_4\text{(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2\,\text{NO}_2\text{(g)}$. A sealed flask initially contains only $\text{N}_2\text{O}_4$. Describe what happens over time and identify two observable signs that equilibrium has been reached.四氧化二氮可逆分解:$\text{N}_2\text{O}_4\text{(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2\,\text{NO}_2\text{(g)}$。密封烧瓶初始只含 $\text{N}_2\text{O}_4$。描述随时间的变化过程,并给出平衡已达到的两个可观察标志。
Initially.初始阶段。 Only $\text{N}_2\text{O}_4$ (colourless) is present. The forward rate is high; the reverse rate is zero (no $\text{NO}_2$ yet). The brown gas $\text{NO}_2$ begins to form and accumulates.仅有 $\text{N}_2\text{O}_4$(无色)存在。正向速率高;逆向速率为零(尚无 $\text{NO}_2$)。棕色气体 $\text{NO}_2$ 开始生成并积累。
Over time.随时间推移。 As $[\text{NO}_2]$ rises, the reverse rate (recombination of $\text{NO}_2$) increases. As $[\text{N}_2\text{O}_4]$ falls, the forward rate decreases. Eventually the rates become equal.随着 $[\text{NO}_2]$ 升高,逆向速率($\text{NO}_2$ 的重新结合)增大。随着 $[\text{N}_2\text{O}_4]$ 下降,正向速率降低。最终两者速率相等。
Observable signs of equilibrium.平衡的可观察标志。
(1) The brown colour of the flask becomes constant — neither deepening nor fading further, because $[\text{NO}_2]$ is no longer changing. (2) The total gas pressure in the flask becomes constant, because the total number of moles of gas (and thus pressure at fixed volume and temperature) stops changing.(1)烧瓶的棕色不再加深也不再变浅,趋于恒定——因为 $[\text{NO}_2]$ 不再变化。(2)烧瓶内总气压趋于恒定——因为气体的总物质的量(以及在固定体积和温度下的压强)停止变化。
Going deeper — why equilibrium is reached: rate argument深入 — 为何会达到平衡:速率论证
Consider a closed vessel initially containing only reactants A and B. At $t = 0$, the forward rate $r_f$ is high (high [A] and [B]) while the reverse rate $r_r = 0$ (no products yet). As the reaction proceeds, [A] and [B] decrease so $r_f$ drops; [C] and [D] build up so $r_r$ rises. At some time $t_\text{eq}$, $r_f = r_r$. After that, any momentary fluctuation that increases [C] also increases $r_r$, which tends to restore the balance — the system is self-regulating. This argument shows equilibrium is a kinetic phenomenon: it is the steady state at which production and consumption of every species are exactly balanced. The position of that steady state (i.e. the ratio of concentrations at equilibrium) is encoded in $K_{eq}$, derived in §2.设想一个密闭容器,初始只含反应物 A 和 B。在 $t = 0$ 时,正向速率 $r_f$ 很高([A] 和 [B] 高),而逆向速率 $r_r = 0$(尚无产物)。随着反应进行,[A] 和 [B] 降低故 $r_f$ 下降;[C] 和 [D] 积累故 $r_r$ 升高。在某时刻 $t_\text{eq}$,$r_f = r_r$。此后,任何使 [C] 暂时增加的涨落也会增大 $r_r$,从而趋向恢复平衡——体系具有自我调节能力。这一论证表明平衡是一种动力学现象:它是每种物种的生成速率与消耗速率精确平衡的稳态。该稳态的位置(即平衡时浓度之比)由 $K_{eq}$ 编码,在 §2 中推导。
The Equilibrium Constant $K_{eq}$平衡常数 $K_{eq}$
- Equilibrium constant expression平衡常数表达式 for $a\text{A} + b\text{B} \rightleftharpoons c\text{C} + d\text{D}$:对于 $a\text{A} + b\text{B} \rightleftharpoons c\text{C} + d\text{D}$:
- Pure solids and pure liquids纯固体和纯液体 are omitted from the $K_{eq}$ expression (their "concentration" is constant and folded into $K_{eq}$). Example: for $\text{CaCO}_3\text{(s)} \rightleftharpoons \text{CaO(s)} + \text{CO}_2\text{(g)}$, $K_{eq} = [\text{CO}_2]$.不计入 $K_{eq}$ 表达式(其"浓度"为常数,已并入 $K_{eq}$)。示例:对于 $\text{CaCO}_3\text{(s)} \rightleftharpoons \text{CaO(s)} + \text{CO}_2\text{(g)}$,$K_{eq} = [\text{CO}_2]$。
- Magnitude of $K_{eq}$$K_{eq}$ 的大小: $K_{eq} \gg 1$ means products are favoured (reaction lies to the right); $K_{eq} \ll 1$ means reactants are favoured (reaction lies to the left); $K_{eq} \approx 1$ means neither strongly favoured.:$K_{eq} \gg 1$ 意味着产物占优(平衡偏向右方);$K_{eq} \ll 1$ 意味着反应物占优(平衡偏向左方);$K_{eq} \approx 1$ 意味着两者都不强烈占优。
- $K_{eq}$ depends only on temperature$K_{eq}$ 仅取决于温度. Changing concentration or pressure shifts the equilibrium but does not change $K_{eq}$ (at constant temperature).。改变浓度或压强会移动平衡,但不会改变 $K_{eq}$(在温度恒定时)。
For the reaction $\text{N}_2\text{(g)} + 3\,\text{H}_2\text{(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2\,\text{NH}_3\text{(g)}$, write the $K_{eq}$ expression. At a certain temperature, equilibrium concentrations are $[\text{N}_2] = 0.50\ \mathrm{mol/L}$, $[\text{H}_2] = 0.60\ \mathrm{mol/L}$, and $[\text{NH}_3] = 0.80\ \mathrm{mol/L}$. Calculate $K_{eq}$.对于反应 $\text{N}_2\text{(g)} + 3\,\text{H}_2\text{(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2\,\text{NH}_3\text{(g)}$,书写 $K_{eq}$ 表达式。在某温度下,平衡浓度为 $[\text{N}_2] = 0.50\ \mathrm{mol/L}$,$[\text{H}_2] = 0.60\ \mathrm{mol/L}$,$[\text{NH}_3] = 0.80\ \mathrm{mol/L}$。计算 $K_{eq}$。
Write the expression.书写表达式。 Products over reactants, stoichiometric coefficients as exponents:产物除以反应物,化学计量数作为指数:
$$ K_{eq} = \frac{[\text{NH}_3]^2}{[\text{N}_2][\text{H}_2]^3} $$Substitute values.代入数值。
$$ K_{eq} = \frac{(0.80)^2}{(0.50)(0.60)^3} = \frac{0.64}{(0.50)(0.216)} = \frac{0.64}{0.108} \approx 5.9 $$Interpret.解读。 $K_{eq} \approx 5.9$ — products are moderately favoured at this temperature. (The Haber process operates at much higher pressure and carefully chosen temperature to maximise yield despite a modest $K_{eq}$; see §7.)$K_{eq} \approx 5.9$——在此温度下产物适度占优。(哈伯法在更高压强和精心选择的温度下运行,以在 $K_{eq}$ 适中的情况下最大化产率;见 §7。)
The Reaction Quotient $Q$反应商 $Q$
- Reaction quotient $Q$反应商 $Q$ — calculated from the current concentrations (which need not be equilibrium concentrations). Comparing $Q$ to $K_{eq}$ tells you which way the system will shift to reach equilibrium:— 由当前浓度(不需要是平衡浓度)计算得出。将 $Q$ 与 $K_{eq}$ 比较可判断体系将向哪个方向移动以达到平衡:
| Condition条件 | Meaning含义 | System shifts…体系移动方向… |
|---|---|---|
| $Q < K_{eq}$ | Too few products产物不足 | Forward (right) →正向(右移)→ |
| $Q = K_{eq}$ | At equilibrium已处于平衡 | No shift不移动 |
| $Q > K_{eq}$ | Too many products产物过多 | Reverse (left) ←逆向(左移)← |
For $\text{N}_2\text{(g)} + 3\,\text{H}_2\text{(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2\,\text{NH}_3\text{(g)}$, the equilibrium constant at a certain temperature is $K_{eq} = 5.9$. A mixture at that temperature has $[\text{N}_2] = 1.0\ \mathrm{mol/L}$, $[\text{H}_2] = 1.0\ \mathrm{mol/L}$, $[\text{NH}_3] = 1.0\ \mathrm{mol/L}$. Will the reaction proceed forward or reverse?对于 $\text{N}_2\text{(g)} + 3\,\text{H}_2\text{(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2\,\text{NH}_3\text{(g)}$,在某温度下平衡常数 $K_{eq} = 5.9$。该温度下某混合物为 $[\text{N}_2] = 1.0\ \mathrm{mol/L}$,$[\text{H}_2] = 1.0\ \mathrm{mol/L}$,$[\text{NH}_3] = 1.0\ \mathrm{mol/L}$。反应将正向还是逆向进行?
Calculate $Q$.计算 $Q$。
$$ Q = \frac{[\text{NH}_3]^2}{[\text{N}_2][\text{H}_2]^3} = \frac{(1.0)^2}{(1.0)(1.0)^3} = \frac{1.0}{1.0} = 1.0 $$Compare $Q$ to $K_{eq}$.将 $Q$ 与 $K_{eq}$ 比较。 $Q = 1.0 < K_{eq} = 5.9$. The numerator (products) is too small relative to the denominator (reactants) — the system needs to make more $\text{NH}_3$.$Q = 1.0 < K_{eq} = 5.9$。分子(产物)相对于分母(反应物)太小——体系需要生成更多 $\text{NH}_3$。
Conclusion.结论。 $Q < K_{eq}$, so the reaction proceeds in the forward direction (left to right), producing more $\text{NH}_3$ until $Q = K_{eq}$. ✓$Q < K_{eq}$,故反应向正方向(从左到右)进行,生成更多 $\text{NH}_3$ 直到 $Q = K_{eq}$。✓
Le Chatelier's Principle勒沙特列原理
- Adding a reactant加入反应物 → system shifts forward (right) to consume the added reactant and produce more products.→ 体系向正方向(右移)移动,消耗加入的反应物并生成更多产物。
- Removing a product移走产物 → system shifts forward (right) to replace the removed product.→ 体系向正方向(右移)移动,补充移走的产物。
- Increasing pressure (for gas-phase reactions)增大压强(气相反应) → system shifts toward the side with fewer moles of gas.→ 体系向气体物质的量较少的一侧移动。
- Increasing temperature升高温度 → system shifts in the endothermic direction (favouring the reaction that absorbs heat). This is the one stress that changes $K_{eq}$ itself.→ 体系向吸热方向移动(有利于吸收热量的反应)。这是唯一会改变 $K_{eq}$ 本身的压力。
- Catalyst催化剂 → speeds up both forward and reverse reactions equally; no shift in equilibrium position; $K_{eq}$ unchanged. Equilibrium is reached faster, not at a different position.→ 同等程度地加快正逆反应;平衡位置不移动;$K_{eq}$ 不变。平衡更快达到,位置不变。
Consider the equilibrium: $\text{N}_2\text{(g)} + 3\,\text{H}_2\text{(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2\,\text{NH}_3\text{(g)} + \text{heat}$. For each change below, predict the direction of the equilibrium shift and give the molecular-level reason.考虑平衡:$\text{N}_2\text{(g)} + 3\,\text{H}_2\text{(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2\,\text{NH}_3\text{(g)} + \text{heat}$。对下列每种变化,预测平衡移动方向并给出分子层面的原因。
(a) Add $\text{N}_2$.(a) 加入 $\text{N}_2$。 Shift forward. More $\text{N}_2$ increases the collision frequency between $\text{N}_2$ and $\text{H}_2$, raising the forward rate. The system consumes excess $\text{N}_2$ by making more $\text{NH}_3$.移向正方向。更多 $\text{N}_2$ 增大了 $\text{N}_2$ 与 $\text{H}_2$ 之间的碰撞频率,提高了正向速率。体系通过生成更多 $\text{NH}_3$ 来消耗过量的 $\text{N}_2$。
(b) Increase pressure (decrease volume).(b) 增大压强(减小体积)。 Shift forward. Left side has $1 + 3 = 4\ \text{mol gas}$; right side has $2\ \text{mol gas}$. Shifting forward reduces the total moles of gas, partially relieving the pressure increase.移向正方向。左侧有 $1 + 3 = 4\ \text{mol}$ 气体;右侧有 $2\ \text{mol}$ 气体。向正方向移动减少了气体总物质的量,部分缓解了压强增大。
(c) Increase temperature.(c) 升高温度。 Shift reverse. The forward reaction is exothermic (releases heat). Adding heat (raising temperature) favours the endothermic (reverse) direction, decomposing $\text{NH}_3$ back to $\text{N}_2$ and $\text{H}_2$. $K_{eq}$ decreases.移向逆方向。正向反应是放热的(释放热量)。加热(升高温度)有利于吸热(逆向)方向,将 $\text{NH}_3$ 分解回 $\text{N}_2$ 和 $\text{H}_2$。$K_{eq}$ 减小。
(d) Add a catalyst.(d) 加入催化剂。 No shift. A catalyst lowers the activation energy of both reactions equally. Both the forward and reverse rates increase by the same factor, so the equilibrium position (and $K_{eq}$) is unchanged. Equilibrium is reached more quickly.不移动。催化剂同等程度地降低正逆反应的活化能。正逆反应速率以相同倍数增大,因此平衡位置(以及 $K_{eq}$)不变。平衡更快达到。
Going deeper — Le Chatelier's principle and the molecular explanation深入 — 勒沙特列原理的分子层面解释
Le Chatelier's principle is a heuristic — it predicts the direction of shift without requiring a full calculation. The molecular explanation is always a rate argument: adding a reactant increases the forward rate (more collisions) while the reverse rate is initially unchanged; the system moves forward until the rates re-equalize. Similarly, increasing pressure in a gas-phase reaction increases collision frequency of all gas molecules; the system shifts toward fewer gas moles because that reduces the total pressure more effectively. For temperature: it raises the rate of both reactions, but raises the rate of the endothermic reaction more (endothermic activation energy is higher, so it benefits more from extra thermal energy). This net increase in the endothermic direction's rate drives the equilibrium shift. NGSS HS-PS1-6 Clarification Statement explicitly requires "descriptions of the connection between changes made at the macroscopic level and what happens at the molecular level" — this going-deeper box is the molecular explanation for that requirement.勒沙特列原理是一种启发式规则——它预测移动方向而不需要完整的计算。分子层面的解释始终是速率论证:加入反应物增大了正向速率(更多碰撞),而逆向速率初始不变;体系向正方向移动直到速率重新相等。类似地,在气相反应中增大压强提高了所有气体分子的碰撞频率;体系向气体物质的量较少的方向移动,因为这样能更有效地降低总压强。对于温度:它同时提高正逆两个方向的反应速率,但对吸热反应速率的提高更多(吸热反应的活化能更高,因此从额外热能中受益更多)。这种净增大的吸热方向速率驱动了平衡移动。NGSS HS-PS1-6 澄清说明明确要求"描述在宏观层面所做改变与分子层面发生情况之间的联系"——这个深入框正是针对该要求的分子层面解释。
Solubility Equilibria: The Solubility Product $K_{sp}$溶解平衡:溶度积 $K_{sp}$
- Dissolution equilibrium溶解平衡 for a sparingly soluble salt $\text{M}_x\text{A}_y\text{(s)} \rightleftharpoons x\,\text{M}^{n+}\text{(aq)} + y\,\text{A}^{m-}\text{(aq)}$:对于微溶盐 $\text{M}_x\text{A}_y\text{(s)} \rightleftharpoons x\,\text{M}^{n+}\text{(aq)} + y\,\text{A}^{m-}\text{(aq)}$:
- The pure solid $\text{M}_x\text{A}_y\text{(s)}$ does not appear in $K_{sp}$ (constant "concentration").纯固体 $\text{M}_x\text{A}_y\text{(s)}$ 不出现在 $K_{sp}$ 中("浓度"为常数)。

For $\text{AgCl(s)} \rightleftharpoons \text{Ag}^+\text{(aq)} + \text{Cl}^-\text{(aq)}$: $K_{sp} = s \cdot s = s^2$. For $\text{Mg(OH)}_2\text{(s)} \rightleftharpoons \text{Mg}^{2+}\text{(aq)} + 2\,\text{OH}^-\text{(aq)}$: $K_{sp} = s \cdot (2s)^2 = 4s^3$.= 平衡时每升溶液中溶解的盐的物质的量。对于 $\text{AgCl(s)} \rightleftharpoons \text{Ag}^+\text{(aq)} + \text{Cl}^-\text{(aq)}$:$K_{sp} = s \cdot s = s^2$。对于 $\text{Mg(OH)}_2\text{(s)} \rightleftharpoons \text{Mg}^{2+}\text{(aq)} + 2\,\text{OH}^-\text{(aq)}$:$K_{sp} = s \cdot (2s)^2 = 4s^3$。
- Common-ion effect同离子效应: adding a common ion (one already present in the equilibrium) shifts dissolution equilibrium in the reverse direction, reducing solubility. Predicted by Le Chatelier.:加入同离子(已在平衡中存在的离子)使溶解平衡向逆方向移动,降低溶解度。由勒沙特列原理预测。

Since $Q = 2.0 \times 10^{-10} > K_{sp} = 1.8 \times 10^{-10}$, the solution is supersaturated and AgCl will precipitate. ✓计算 $Q = [\text{Ag}^+][\text{Cl}^-] = (0.010)(2.0 \times 10^{-8}) = 2.0 \times 10^{-10}$。由于 $Q = 2.0 \times 10^{-10} > K_{sp} = 1.8 \times 10^{-10}$,溶液处于过饱和状态,AgCl 将会沉淀。✓
ICE Tables: Quantitative Equilibrium CalculationsICE 表格:定量平衡计算
- Row I (Initial)I 行(初始): write the initial concentrations of all species.:写出所有物种的初始浓度。
- Row C (Change)C 行(变化): let the change in concentration of one reactant be $-x$ (it decreases); express all other changes in terms of $x$ using stoichiometric ratios (products increase $+x$; reactants decrease $-x$, scaled by molar ratios).:设某反应物浓度变化为 $-x$(它减小);用化学计量比将所有其他变化用 $x$ 表示(产物增加 $+x$;反应物减小 $-x$,按物质的量比缩放)。
- Row E (Equilibrium)E 行(平衡): add I and C for each species. Substitute into $K_{eq}$ expression and solve for $x$.:每种物种的 I 与 C 相加。代入 $K_{eq}$ 表达式并求解 $x$。
For the reaction $\text{H}_2\text{(g)} + \text{I}_2\text{(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2\,\text{HI(g)}$, $K_{eq} = 49.0$ at 458 °C. Initially $[\text{H}_2]_0 = [\text{I}_2]_0 = 0.100\ \mathrm{mol/L}$ and $[\text{HI}]_0 = 0$. Find the equilibrium concentrations.对于反应 $\text{H}_2\text{(g)} + \text{I}_2\text{(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2\,\text{HI(g)}$,在 458°C 时 $K_{eq} = 49.0$。初始 $[\text{H}_2]_0 = [\text{I}_2]_0 = 0.100\ \mathrm{mol/L}$,$[\text{HI}]_0 = 0$。求平衡浓度。
Set up the ICE table.建立 ICE 表格。
| H2 | I2 | 2 HI | |
|---|---|---|---|
| I | 0.100 | 0.100 | 0 |
| C | $-x$ | $-x$ | $+2x$ |
| E | $0.100 - x$ | $0.100 - x$ | $2x$ |
Substitute into $K_{eq}$.代入 $K_{eq}$。
$$ K_{eq} = \frac{[\text{HI}]^2}{[\text{H}_2][\text{I}_2]} = \frac{(2x)^2}{(0.100 - x)^2} = 49.0 $$Solve.求解。 Take the square root of both sides (valid since the left side is a perfect square):两边取平方根(因为左边是完全平方式):
$$ \frac{2x}{0.100 - x} = 7.00 \implies 2x = 0.700 - 7x \implies 9x = 0.700 \implies x = 0.0778\ \mathrm{mol/L} $$Equilibrium concentrations.平衡浓度。 $[\text{H}_2] = [\text{I}_2] = 0.100 - 0.0778 = 0.0222\ \mathrm{mol/L}$; $[\text{HI}] = 2(0.0778) = 0.156\ \mathrm{mol/L}$. Check: $K_{eq} = (0.156)^2 / (0.0222)^2 = 49.3 \approx 49.0$. ✓$[\text{H}_2] = [\text{I}_2] = 0.100 - 0.0778 = 0.0222\ \mathrm{mol/L}$;$[\text{HI}] = 2(0.0778) = 0.156\ \mathrm{mol/L}$。核验:$K_{eq} = (0.156)^2 / (0.0222)^2 = 49.3 \approx 49.0$。✓
Applications of Equilibrium: The Haber Process平衡的应用:哈伯法
- Reaction反应: $\text{N}_2\text{(g)} + 3\,\text{H}_2\text{(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2\,\text{NH}_3\text{(g)} + 92\ \mathrm{kJ/mol}$ (exothermic).:$\text{N}_2\text{(g)} + 3\,\text{H}_2\text{(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2\,\text{NH}_3\text{(g)} + 92\ \mathrm{kJ/mol}$(放热)。
- High pressure (150–300 atm)高压(150–300 atm): 4 mol gas → 2 mol gas, so high pressure shifts equilibrium right, increasing $[\text{NH}_3]$ at equilibrium. Le Chatelier: higher pressure favours fewer gas moles.:4 mol 气体 → 2 mol 气体,故高压使平衡右移,增大平衡时的 $[\text{NH}_3]$。勒沙特列:高压有利于气体物质的量较少的一侧。
- Moderate temperature (400–500 °C)适中温度(400–500°C): the reaction is exothermic, so lower temperature would favour products (larger $K_{eq}$). However, too low a temperature slows the reaction rate unacceptably. The chosen temperature is a compromise: fast enough kinetically, acceptable $K_{eq}$.:该反应为放热反应,故较低温度有利于产物($K_{eq}$ 更大)。然而温度过低会使反应速率过慢。所选温度是一个折中:动力学上足够快,同时 $K_{eq}$ 可接受。
- Iron catalyst铁催化剂: speeds up both forward and reverse reactions equally. Does not shift the equilibrium position or change $K_{eq}$. Allows equilibrium to be reached at a lower (and more acceptable) temperature.:同等程度地加快正逆反应。不移动平衡位置也不改变 $K_{eq}$。使平衡在更低(且更可接受)的温度下达到。
- Continuous removal of $\text{NH}_3$持续移走 $\text{NH}_3$: the product is condensed and removed, shifting equilibrium right to produce more $\text{NH}_3$. Le Chatelier: removing a product drives the forward reaction.:产物被冷凝并移走,使平衡右移以生成更多 $\text{NH}_3$。勒沙特列:移走产物推动正向反应。
For $\text{N}_2\text{(g)} + 3\,\text{H}_2\text{(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2\,\text{NH}_3\text{(g)} + \text{heat}$, identify whether each of the following changes increases, decreases, or has no effect on the equilibrium concentration of $\text{NH}_3$, and whether $K_{eq}$ changes.对于 $\text{N}_2\text{(g)} + 3\,\text{H}_2\text{(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2\,\text{NH}_3\text{(g)} + \text{heat}$,判断下列每种变化是增大、减小还是不影响 $\text{NH}_3$ 的平衡浓度,以及 $K_{eq}$ 是否变化。
| Change变化 | Shift direction移动方向 | $[\text{NH}_3]_{eq}$ | $K_{eq}$ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Add $\text{N}_2$加入 $\text{N}_2$ | Forward →正向 → | Increases增大 | No change不变 |
| Increase pressure增大压强 | Forward → (fewer gas mol)正向 →(气体物质的量更少) | Increases增大 | No change不变 |
| Increase temperature升高温度 | Reverse ← (endothermic dir.)逆向 ←(吸热方向) | Decreases减小 | Decreases减小 |
| Add Fe catalyst加入 Fe 催化剂 | No shift不移动 | No change不变 | No change不变 |
| Remove $\text{NH}_3$移走 $\text{NH}_3$ | Forward →正向 → | Increases (new eq.)增大(新平衡) | No change不变 |
The industrial compromise: high pressure increases yield; the Fe catalyst achieves acceptable rate at ~450 °C; continuous $\text{NH}_3$ removal keeps $Q < K_{eq}$, driving further conversion. Only the temperature change alters $K_{eq}$.工业折中方案:高压提高产率;Fe 催化剂在约 450°C 实现可接受的反应速率;持续移走 $\text{NH}_3$ 保持 $Q < K_{eq}$,驱动进一步转化。只有温度变化才改变 $K_{eq}$。
Going deeper — other real-world equilibrium applications深入 — 其他现实世界的平衡应用
Hemoglobin and oxygen. The binding of oxygen by hemoglobin in blood is a reversible equilibrium: $\text{Hb} + \text{O}_2 \rightleftharpoons \text{HbO}_2$. In the lungs, where $[\text{O}_2]$ is high, the equilibrium lies far right — hemoglobin loads oxygen. In tissues, where $[\text{O}_2]$ is low (consumed by cellular respiration), the equilibrium shifts left — hemoglobin releases oxygen. Le Chatelier operates here in exactly the same way as in a chemical engineering context. BC Chemistry 12 explicitly lists hemoglobin/oxygen as an application of Le Chatelier (Elaboration to "Le Châtelier's principle and equilibrium shift").血红蛋白与氧气。血红蛋白在血液中与氧气的结合是一个可逆平衡:$\text{Hb} + \text{O}_2 \rightleftharpoons \text{HbO}_2$。在肺部,$[\text{O}_2]$ 较高,平衡强烈偏向右方——血红蛋白装载氧气。在组织中,$[\text{O}_2]$ 较低(被细胞呼吸消耗),平衡左移——血红蛋白释放氧气。勒沙特列原理在这里的作用方式与化学工程中完全相同。BC Chemistry 12 明确将血红蛋白/氧气列为勒沙特列原理的应用("勒沙特列原理与平衡移动"的细化说明)。
Contact process (sulfuric acid production). $2\,\text{SO}_2\text{(g)} + \text{O}_2\text{(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2\,\text{SO}_3\text{(g)}$ (exothermic). Same equilibrium trade-offs as the Haber process: high pressure and moderate temperature (~450 °C with a vanadium pentoxide catalyst). The SO₃ product is absorbed in concentrated H₂SO₄ rather than water (to avoid hazardous acid mist), continuously removing product and driving the reaction forward. Both the Haber process and the Contact process illustrate that industrial chemistry is fundamentally applied equilibrium and kinetics.接触法(硫酸生产)。$2\,\text{SO}_2\text{(g)} + \text{O}_2\text{(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2\,\text{SO}_3\text{(g)}$(放热)。与哈伯法相同的平衡权衡:高压和适中温度(约 450°C,使用五氧化二钒催化剂)。SO₃ 产物被浓 H₂SO₄ 吸收而非直接溶于水(以避免危险的酸雾),持续移走产物并推动反应向正方向进行。哈伯法和接触法都表明,工业化学从根本上是应用的平衡与动力学。
Exam Strategy and Common Pitfalls考试策略与常见陷阱
- Write the balanced equation first.先写配平方程式。 The stoichiometric coefficients become the exponents in $K_{eq}$ and the stoichiometric multipliers in ICE-table change rows. A wrong coefficient propagates through the entire calculation.化学计量数成为 $K_{eq}$ 中的指数和 ICE 表格变化行中的化学计量乘数。系数错误会贯穿整个计算。
- Omit pure solids and pure liquids from $K_{eq}$ and $K_{sp}$.$K_{eq}$ 和 $K_{sp}$ 中省略纯固体和纯液体。 Water in aqueous reactions is a pure liquid — omit it. Solid reactants or products in heterogeneous equilibria — omit them. Forgetting this is one of the most common errors.水溶液反应中的水是纯液体——省略。非均相平衡中的固态反应物或产物——省略。忘记这一点是最常见的错误之一。
- Always compare $Q$ to $K_{eq}$ before predicting shifts.预测移动方向之前始终将 $Q$ 与 $K_{eq}$ 比较。 $Q < K_{eq}$ → forward; $Q > K_{eq}$ → reverse; $Q = K_{eq}$ → at equilibrium. This is faster and more precise than Le Chatelier for multi-variable questions.$Q < K_{eq}$ → 正向;$Q > K_{eq}$ → 逆向;$Q = K_{eq}$ → 处于平衡。对于多变量问题,这比勒沙特列更快且更精确。
- Temperature is the only variable that changes $K_{eq}$.温度是唯一能改变 $K_{eq}$ 的变量。 Adding reactants, removing products, changing pressure: all shift the equilibrium position but leave $K_{eq}$ unchanged (at constant temperature). A question asking whether $K_{eq}$ changes after a concentration or pressure change — the answer is always no.加入反应物、移走产物、改变压强:这些都移动平衡位置但不改变 $K_{eq}$(温度恒定时)。询问浓度或压强变化后 $K_{eq}$ 是否改变的问题——答案始终是否定的。
- Pressure effects apply only to gases.压强效应仅适用于气体。 If all species are in solution or the reaction has no net change in moles of gas, pressure has no effect. Count gas moles on each side first.如果所有物种都在溶液中,或反应的气体物质的量无净变化,则压强无影响。先计算两侧的气体物质的量。
- State the molecular-level reason, not just the direction.说明分子层面的原因,而不仅仅是方向。 Exam boards require "connection between macroscopic changes and molecular-level events" (NGSS HS-PS1-6 Clarification). Rate arguments (adding X increases forward rate) score full marks; direction-only answers typically score partial marks.考试机构要求"宏观变化与分子层面事件之间的联系"(NGSS HS-PS1-6 澄清说明)。速率论证(加入 X 增大正向速率)可得满分;仅说明方向的答案通常只得部分分。
- Exponents come from coefficients, not multiplied concentrations.指数来自系数,而非相乘的浓度。 For $2\text{A} + \text{B} \rightleftharpoons 3\text{C}$: $K_{eq} = [\text{C}]^3 / ([\text{A}]^2[\text{B}])$, not $2[\text{A}][\text{B}]$ in the denominator.对于 $2\text{A} + \text{B} \rightleftharpoons 3\text{C}$:$K_{eq} = [\text{C}]^3 / ([\text{A}]^2[\text{B}])$,分母不是 $2[\text{A}][\text{B}]$。
- ICE table change row: use stoichiometric ratios.ICE 表格变化行:使用化学计量比。 If reactant A decreases by $x$, and the equation has coefficient 2 for B and 3 for product C, then B decreases by $(2/1)x$ and C increases by $(3/1)x$ (relative to A's coefficient of 1). Never just write $\pm x$ for every species without checking the ratio.若反应物 A 减小 $x$,方程式中 B 的系数为 2,产物 C 的系数为 3,则 B 减小 $(2/1)x$,C 增大 $(3/1)x$(相对于 A 的系数 1)。不要在未检查比例的情况下对每种物种都写 $\pm x$。
- Molar solubility: track ion stoichiometry carefully.摩尔溶解度:仔细跟踪离子的化学计量比。 For $\text{M}_x\text{A}_y$, dissolution gives $x\,\text{M}^{n+}$ and $y\,\text{A}^{m-}$. If solubility $= s$, then $[\text{M}^{n+}] = xs$ and $[\text{A}^{m-}] = ys$. $K_{sp} = (xs)^x(ys)^y$. Forgetting the $x$ or $y$ coefficients on the ion concentrations is the most common $K_{sp}$ error.对于 $\text{M}_x\text{A}_y$,溶解给出 $x\,\text{M}^{n+}$ 和 $y\,\text{A}^{m-}$。若溶解度 $= s$,则 $[\text{M}^{n+}] = xs$,$[\text{A}^{m-}] = ys$。$K_{sp} = (xs)^x(ys)^y$。忘记离子浓度中的 $x$ 或 $y$ 系数是最常见的 $K_{sp}$ 错误。
- The catalyst question: always "no shift, faster equilibrium."关于催化剂的问题:始终是"不移动,平衡更快达到"。 A catalyst never changes $K_{eq}$ or the equilibrium position — it only lowers the activation energy of both reactions equally so equilibrium is reached faster. A two-part answer (shift: none; $K_{eq}$: unchanged) is always needed.催化剂从不改变 $K_{eq}$ 或平衡位置——它只是同等程度地降低正逆反应的活化能,使平衡更快达到。始终需要两部分答案(移动:无;$K_{eq}$:不变)。
- Significant figures in equilibrium calculations.平衡计算的有效数字。 Report $K_{eq}$ to the same number of significant figures as the given concentrations (typically 2–3 sig figs). Do not round intermediate values; carry extra digits and round only at the final step.$K_{eq}$ 的有效数字与给定浓度的有效数字位数相同(通常 2–3 位)。不要对中间值四舍五入;保留额外数字,仅在最终步骤四舍五入。

The preceding unit, Reaction Rates (Kinetics), explained why rates change with temperature and concentration — the microscopic foundation for Le Chatelier's temperature and concentration effects in this guide. The following unit, Acids, Bases, and pH (Unit 9 at the quantitative depth), applies the same $K_{eq}$ framework to weak acid/base ionisation ($K_a$, $K_b$, $K_w$) and buffer calculations — ICE-table skills from §6 are used directly. Solubility and Precipitation (part of Unit 8) uses $K_{sp}$ from §5. Electrochemistry (Unit 13) uses equilibrium concepts to derive the Nernst equation.前一个单元《反应速率(动力学)》解释了速率为何随温度和浓度变化——这为本指南中勒沙特列的温度和浓度效应提供了微观基础。后续单元《酸碱与 pH》(Unit 9,定量深度)将相同的 $K_{eq}$ 框架应用于弱酸/弱碱的电离($K_a$、$K_b$、$K_w$)和缓冲液计算——直接使用来自 §6 的 ICE 表格技能。溶解度与沉淀(Unit 8 的一部分)使用来自 §5 的 $K_{sp}$。电化学(Unit 13)使用平衡概念推导能斯特方程。

If you are aiming for IB Chemistry HL or AP Chemistry, the equilibrium constant expressions, Le Chatelier analysis, ICE-table technique, and $K_{sp}$ calculations here are assumed from the first week of the college-credit course. IB Chemistry HL Reactivity 2 extends this with quantitative Gibbs energy ($\Delta G = -RT\ln K$), the Brønsted-Lowry acid-base equilibrium, and advanced buffer calculations. AP Chemistry Unit 7 (Equilibrium) and Unit 8 (Acids and Bases) build directly on the $K_{eq}$ and ICE-table foundation of this guide. The $Q$ vs $K_{eq}$ comparison is used to predict reaction direction in every subsequent quantitative unit.如果你目标是 IB Chemistry HL 或 AP Chemistry,这里的平衡常数表达式、勒沙特列分析、ICE 表格技术和 $K_{sp}$ 计算从大学学分课程的第一周就被默认掌握。IB Chemistry HL Reactivity 2 通过定量吉布斯能($\Delta G = -RT\ln K$)、布朗斯特-劳里酸碱平衡和高级缓冲液计算来延伸这部分内容。AP Chemistry Unit 7(平衡)和 Unit 8(酸和碱)直接建立在本指南的 $K_{eq}$ 和 ICE 表格基础上。$Q$ 与 $K_{eq}$ 的比较在每一个后续定量单元中都用于预测反应方向。
