Showing revision 4
Students will be able to:
1) Explain what a reversible reaction is and the conditions for equilibrium to be established. This explanation can be via graphs, pictures and/or prose.
2) Explain the concept of Reaction Quotient (Q) and how it relates to the Equilibrium constant, K to explain how the reaction proceeds to the equilibrium condition (is reaction going to produce more reactant/products). Explanation can via graphs, pictures and/or prose.
3) Using a desired balanced reversible chemical equation including phase, write out the Equilibrium constant expression including showing any species removed from expression due to being a solid and/or liquid. An explanation of this removal needs to be stated.
4) Explain what the qualitative explanation of the Equilibrium constant (K) means with respect to determining the equilibrium position (equilibrium concentration for all species in reversible reaction).
5) Using calculated value of Q and K to explain how the reaction will proceed (making more product or reactant) to equilibrium (see Objective 2 above).
6) Given a balanced reversible reaction and it Equilibrium constant value, be able to determine the Equilibrium constant value, K' of a related balanced chemical reaction (i.e. the original reaction is reversed, what it is K compared to original reaction K).
7) Given a balanced reversible reaction and the Equilibrium constant expression, mathematical determine
