CHEM1011 - Resources for Week 10
Topics and Learning Outcomes
Chemical Equilibrium
explain the dynamic nature of equilibrium processes
write the equilibrium constant for any reaction or process
use initial, change, equilibrium (ICE) tables and the small 'x ' approach to work out equilibrium concentations
use Le Chatelier's principle to predict the response of a system at equilibrium to changes in temperature, pressure and composition
explain the difference between the equilibrium constant, K , and the reaction quotient, Q
write down the reaction quotient and use it to predict the direction of change
explain how catalysts effect chemical reactions without changing the equilibrium concentrations
