Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibirium Constant .txt | Remember, the two constants going this way and this way are different times the concentration of z to the c coefficient or exponent times the concentration of w to the d power. |
Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibirium Constant .txt | Now this guy is equal to this guy because we're a dynamic equilibrium. |
Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibirium Constant .txt | And the only reason we are able to write the rate laws like this using the coefficients is because this is an elementary reaction. |
Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibirium Constant .txt | So now let's bring all the constant to one side and everything else the concentrations to this side. |
Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibirium Constant .txt | So we get the following. |
Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibirium Constant .txt | K one divided by k minus one equals this guy divided by this guy. |
Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibirium Constant .txt | Now notice that these two guys are constants. |
Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibirium Constant .txt | They're the same or they don't change at the same temperature. |
Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibirium Constant .txt | And that means we can represent this guy as another constant, namely K. Now this K is known as the equilibrium constant. |
Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibirium Constant .txt | And the relationship between our K, the equilibrium constant. |
Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibirium Constant .txt | And the chemical equation above is known as the law of mass action. |
Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibirium Constant .txt | So what's the meaning of K? |
Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibirium Constant .txt | Well, K is simply the ratio of the concentration of products and the concentration of reactants at equilibrium when the Navy equilibrium has been established. |
Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibirium Constant .txt | And what K does is it tells us how far the reaction proceeded at equilibrium. |
Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibirium Constant .txt | In other words, we can have three situations. |
Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibirium Constant .txt | K can either be greater than one and if K is greater than one, that means at equilibrium we have more products than reactants. |
Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibirium Constant .txt | And that means our reaction is a product favored, it's spontaneous going this way. |
Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibirium Constant .txt | Now, if K equals one, that means at equilibrium our concentration of products is the same as the concentration of reactants. |
Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibirium Constant .txt | Now, if K is less than one, that means this denominator is larger than our enumerator. |
Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibirium Constant .txt | And that means we have more concentration of reactants of these guys at equilibrium than of our products than these guys. |
Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibirium Constant .txt | And that means our reaction is not product favorite, it's not spontaneous, in fact it's reactant favorite. |
Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibirium Constant .txt | This reaction is spontaneous, but this reaction isn't if our K is less than one. |
Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibirium Constant .txt | And that's the meaning of K. Now, a few more important things that I want to mention about equilibrium constants. |
Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibirium Constant .txt | Now an equilibrium constant is unitless. |
Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibirium Constant .txt | And that's because we're dividing concentration by concentration. |
Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibirium Constant .txt | So our units at the end will cancel out. |
Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibirium Constant .txt | Now, our equilibrium constant depends strictly on temperature. |
Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibirium Constant .txt | And that's because our constant is actually a rate constant divided by a rate constant. |
Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibirium Constant .txt | So it's the ratio of the rate constant going this way to the rate constant going in the reverse direction. |
Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibirium Constant .txt | And because these guys are dependent only on temperature, these guys also depend upon temperature. |
Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibirium Constant .txt | It does not depend on the concentration. |
Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibirium Constant .txt | Now note there is a big difference between equilibrium constant and chemical equilibrium. |
Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibirium Constant .txt | Although the two things are related, they're two different separate ideas. |
Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibirium Constant .txt | Once again, equilibrium constant is a ratio of products to reactants, and it depends on temperature. |
Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibirium Constant .txt | While chemical equilibrium refers to a condition, a system. |
Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibirium Constant .txt | And if we add, for example, more reactants to our system now our chemical equilibrium is shifted to the right, more reactants will be produced. |
Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibirium Constant .txt | And that's because of Washacliere's principle. |
Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibirium Constant .txt | We'll discuss that in a bit. |
Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibirium Constant .txt | But remember to have this distinction between equilibrium constant and chemical equilibrium. |
Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibirium Constant .txt | There are different things. |
Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibirium Constant .txt | Last thing I want to mention is about this expression, this chemical equilibrium expression. |
Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibirium Constant .txt | Now, notice we included every single reactant product. |
Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibirium Constant .txt | And that's because we assume that X-Y-Z and W were either in the aqueous state or the gas state. |
Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibirium Constant .txt | Now only aqueous or gas molecules are included or expressed in our final expression. |
Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibirium Constant .txt | Solid molecules and liquid molecules are not included in our expression. |
Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibirium Constant .txt | And that's because their density stays the same throughout our experiment. |
Chemical Equilibrium and Equilibirium Constant .txt | And so they really have no effect on our equilibrium constant or chemical equilibrium. |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | Now, any given time during the rest of the potential, our concentration on the outside is lasted on the inside. |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | So let's say our outside is 0.003 molar, and on the inside is 0.135
molar. |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | So how would we find the cell voltage due to the potassium ions? |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | Will we use the Nurse equation? |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | What this equation says is our cell voltage at any given concentration is equal to our standard cell voltage. |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | But this guy is zero. |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | We just said that the cell voltage of this reaction and this reaction are equal but opposite. |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | So when you add them, this guy goes to zero. |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | That means our cell voltage is just simply this whole guy. |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | Where gas constant T is our temperature, n is the Mozzo electrons, epic Faradays constant. |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | And Q is our expression. |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | Now, let's look at Q first. |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | What is Q? |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | Well, Q is the concentration of products divided by the concentration of reactants, right? |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | And our products is this guy, it's 0.3 molar, our 0.3 molar. |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | Sorry. |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | And this guy is zero point 13 five molar. |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | So our Q is 0.3
over zero point 13 five. |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | The M cancel out. |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | Now, our T is our temperature of our body. |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | It's not 25 degrees Celsius, it's 37 degrees Celsius. |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | So we have 37 to 273, and we get 310. |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | So it's 310 right here. |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | This is our gas constant. |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | It's just a constant 8.3, 114. |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | Our fahrenheit is constant. |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | So what is N is the moles of electrons produced per potassium or a mole of potassium. |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | So notice that our mole here is one. |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | It's a ratio of one to one. |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | That means we have 1 mol of electron. |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | So number one goes for N.
We plug these guys into the calculator. |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | Notice that natural log of a number smaller than one gives you a negative number. |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | So the negative is becoming positive. |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | And this is our final cell voltage, zero point 102 volts. |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | So then we do the same exact thing for calcium, for sodium, and for chloride. |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | Add all the guys up and we should get our final resting electrical potential to sell. |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | Now, I want to talk more about the meaning of this number. |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | What is meant by this number? |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | Remember, we have the electrochemical gradient of our cell. |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | And this is the gradient due to the concentration of ions and due to charge. |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | So it's the chemical gradient and electrical gradient or voltage gradient. |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | And these guys are opposite of each other. |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | In other words, notice that our potassium ion, there is a larger concentration on the inside than outside. |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | And that means these guys will tend to move down their chemical gradients, right? |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | Because there are more of these guys on the outside. |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | So equilibrium will want to establish and these guys will want to move to the outside down their chemical gradient. |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | Now, electrical gradient is the opposite of that. |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | Because electrons travel this way, electrons will want to travel to the place where there is more positive charge. |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | That means it's opposite. |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | Now, what this number means is that when our electrical gradient and our chemical gradient equal to this number, when they're both this number, that means equilibrium will be established between the potassium ions and the same number of potassium ions will be going in as they will be coming out, right? |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | So the rates will equal, and that's what this number means. |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | So actually, our electrical potential should be negative of this because they're opposite of each other. |
Neuron Cells Part II .txt | They have the same magnitude but different signs. |
