HOW to CALCULATE Kc for A Level Chemistry
Online A Level Chemistry Tutor Paul Morgan with fellow tutor Atul Rana shows how to calculate an equilibrium constant Kc and it's units using the online whiteboard bitpaper _______________________________________ (00:00) Hi, I'm Atul and I'm in London right now. Hi, I'm Paul and I'm in Burnley Lancashire. So we're going to have a look at the equilibrium constant Kc and calculate Kc. So I'll go straight into the question... 5 moles of A is mixed with 5 moles of B in a volume 12 dm3. When the equilibrium is established it contains 3 moles of C. Find the equilibrium constant Kc at this temperature. So the equation Kc is concentration of products over reactants raised to the powers of their moles in the balanced equation. So [C]^2 ••••••••••••••••••• [A]× [B]^2 ICE method = Initial Change Equilibrium Initial 5 moles A 5 moles B 0 moles C Equilibrium 3 moles C (change of +3) So Atul what are changes of A and B? (01:30) Well since number of moles B is the same as the number of moles of C. I expect the change of B to be 3 as well. (01:40) It'd be a change of 3. So our reactants go down. And the change in A is half that so 1.5. (01:55) Excellent so what would be the equilibrium moles. (02:02) B 5 - 3 = 2 moles A 5 - 1.5 = 3.5 moles Equilibrium 3.5 moles A 2.0 moles B 3.0 moles C (02:21) We need to find the concentrations. So concentration = moles ÷ volume. So Concn C 3/12 = 1/4 Concn A 3.5/12 = 7/24 Concn B 2/12 = 1/6 And if we put all that into the calculator, (1/4)^2 •••••••••••••••••••••••• = 7.71 (7/24) x (1/6)^2 = 7.7 ( 2 sig fig) (03:35) And the units? Instead of putting numbers in the equation, we put the units. (molesdm-3)^2 •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• (molesdm-3) x (molesdm-3)^2 So the squared terms cancel. So Atul with your maths head on could you tell me what the units would be for Kc? (04:19) Right so all we have left is the reciprocal of (molesdm-3) which is 1 ÷ (moldm-3) So when you move (moldm-3) to the top that is moles to the -1 and dm to the +3 so (mol-1dm+3) (04:40) So Kc is 7.7 mol-1dm3. (04:53) Great and the units of Kc depend on the number of moles of the reactants and the products in the equation. (05:08) Yes they do. And so you can have different values of units for Kc and you can even have no units if the concentrations cancel. (05:17) Of course. Can be dimensionless. And just to sum up trying to get a tangible meaning of Kc. I suppose it's how much towards the right the equilibrium is. The bigger that number the bigger the rightness to use an unscientific language. (05:42) Yes the bigger value (greater than 1) tells us the equilubrium lies to the right and the bigger the value the more to the right the equilibrium lies. And a value less than 1 lies to the left of the equilibrium. (05:58) And chemists interested in yield will be wanting a big value of Kc (06:03) Mm, that's pretty smart. And I suppose it's like an extension from GCSE where they look at yield in reversible reactions where the yield is a percentage but here you're looking at it more like an absolute number rather than percentage. (06:21) Yeah and at GCSE they look at what cause shifts in equilibrium. (06:26) Yeah. Perfect. That sounds great. Thanks very much for that. And I look forward to the next video. (06:34) Ok. Bye. _______________________________________ More information Paul Morgan - A Level Chemistry Tutor Website https://www.alevelchemistrytuition.com LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/onlinealevelchemistrytutor Atul Rana - Maths and Science Tutor http://www.atultanatutors.co.uk #OnlineALevelChemistryTutor #PaulMorgan #EquilibriumConstant -~-~~-~~~-~~-~- Please watch: "HOW I TUTOR A LEVEL CHEMISTRY ONLINE " https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6vq7x368gU -~-~~-~~~-~~-~-

HOW to IDENTIFY the LIMITING REAGENT for A Level Chemistry
Online A Level Chemistry Tutor Paul Morgan with fellow tutor Atul Rana demonstrates molar calculations involving limiting and excess reagents using the online whiteboard bitpaper _______________________________________ (00:00) Hi, I'm Atul and I am in London. Hi, I'm Paul and I'm in Burnley Lancashire. So today we look at limiting reagents and molar calculations. So the question here is what mass of Iron is formed when 8 g Iron oxide reacts with 2.16 g of Aluminium. For limiting reagents we look at the moles of the reactants. First of all for Iron oxide and Aluminium, we write down the mass, the Mr and the moles. We have 8g of Iron Oxide and 2.16g of Aluminium. 27 is the atomic mass of Aluminium. For Iron Oxide there are 2 iron atoms and three oxygen atoms. So 2(55.8) + 3(16) =159.6 (03:12) We've been asked for the mass of Iron so Mr (Ar) = 55.8. Moles = Mass / Mr so Iron Oxide is 8 ÷ 159.6 = 0.05 moles and Aluminium is 2.16 ÷ 27 = 0.08 moles. (04:13) We've got to work out which of these is the limiting reagent. So if this was a one to one ratio, then our Iron oxide would be the limiting reagent because it's less moles. But it's not a one to one. It's a one to two so if you look at the Aluminium we can say that 0.08 moles of Aliminium, would react 0.04 moles of Iron Oxide and we've more than that. So this is in excess. Therefore the Aluminium is our limiting reagent (05:13) To work out the mass of iron that's formed we use the limiting reagent moles (05:27) The Aluminium and the Iron have a one to one ratio. So we would form exactly the same number of moles. Mass = Moles x Mr so 55.8 x 0.08 = 4.464g = 4.46 g of iron (3sf) (06:31) So we workout the limiting reagent and then we work at the maximum product formed. (06:37) I'm guessing that if they assumed that iron oxide is the correct one, just hypothetically, they'll soon find out that the Aluminium doesn't compute because that'd be like 0.1 or something. (07:21) Yes. They could work out the other the other way round as well. They could look at the, the iron oxide is 0.05 moles so therefore that would react with double the aluminium 0.1 moles. And therefore you can see that the aluminium is the limiting reagent there because 0.08 moles is less than 0.1 moles. (07:42) So you can choose either reactant and work out which is the excess and which is the limiting reagent. (07:48) Yeah. And it's great because in real life one is going to be in excess and one is not just for practical reasons. And it's something students might've seen in titrations for example. So they can extend that idea. (08:05) Yeah. And sometimes the question will tell you that a certain reactant is in excess, so then you just use the other reactant but where it doesn't then you have to work out which is the limiting reagent. _______________________________________ More Information: Paul Morgan | A Level Chemistry Tutor https://www.alevelchemistrytuition.com Atul Rana | Maths and Science Tutor https://www.atulranatutors.co.uk #LimitingReagents #LimitingReactants #OnlineALevelChemistryTutor -~-~~-~~~-~~-~- Please watch: "HOW I TUTOR A LEVEL CHEMISTRY ONLINE " https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6vq7x368gU -~-~~-~~~-~~-~-
