Chemical Equilibrium notes

This section is open and closed systems, reversible reactions, and chemical equilibrium. You define the three official terms, then list the factors that influence the position of an equilibrium. It…

This section is Le Chatelier's principle: state it, then use it to explain how a closed system opposes a disturbance. Work qualitatively: concentration, pressure (gases only), temperature, and the…

This section is the equilibrium constant, Kc. List what changes Kc, write a Kc expression from a given equation, calculate Kc, and explain a high versus a low value. It is not Le Chatelier’s…

This section is interpretation of graphs for chemical equilibrium. The paper draws concentration, rate, number of moles, mass or volume versus time. You read the shape: what is constant, what jumps…

This section is applications of equilibrium principles in the chemical industry: the Haber process (Haber-Bosch) and step 2 of the Contact process. You explain each condition with Le Chatelier's…
