Sub-strand

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

State Le Chatelier’s Principle and apply it to deduce qualitatively, the effects of various factors on the positions of equilibrium and on the value of the equilibrium constant
