Equilibria

Content standard

Demonstrate understanding that a balance of opposing reactions occur in chemical equilibrium systems to attain equilibrium and this principle is applied in chemical industrial processes

Learning outcome

Explain that dynamic equilibrium is attained when the rates of the forward and backward reactions are equal and this principle has industrial applications

Learning indicator

Deduce expressions for equilibrium constants in terms of concentrations and partial pressures and perform relevant calculations from appropriate data
