CHEM1101 - Resources for Week 10
Topics and Learning Outcomes
Nitrogen Chemistry and Compounds
explain the difference between a fuel and an explosive explain the concept of activation energy work out the oxidation number of nitrogen in its compounds work out the shapes and the number of unpaired electrons on nitrogen oxides and halides discuss the NOx cycle in the atmosphere explain how the temperature of a planet without a greenhouse effect can be calculated comment on the evidence for global warming and the most important greenhouse gases
Equilibrium
explain what reactions are spontaneous and under what conditions explain the dynamic nature of equilibrium processes write the equilibrium constant for any reaction or process use initial, change, equilibrium (ICE) tables calculate the value of the equilibrium constant for a reverse reaction from its value for a forward reaction, and if the stoichiometry is changed calculate the equilibrium constant for a reaction obtained by combining two other reactions 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 use Le Chatelier's principle to predict the response of a system at equilibrium to changes in temperature, pressure and composition explain how catalysts effect chemical reactions without changing the equilibrium concentrations relate the equilibrium constant, K , to the change in the Gibbs free energy
