Chemistry for the gifted and talented: rates and equilibria

No comments

This activity demonstrates the links between the topics of rates of reaction and the equilibrium law. It provides students with an explanation of the equilibrium law and helps them explain why Le Chatelier’s principle works for temperature, concentration and pressure.

On page 5, on the second card

The equilibrium constant for step 1 is k₁ and for step 2 is k₂

should read

The equilibrium constant for step 1 is K₁ and for step 2 is K₂

—-

On page 6, on the second card

K₂ = [H][E]/[A][E]

should read

K₂ = [H][E]/[A][G]

On This Day – Sep 17 : Le Chatelier died

He is best known for developing Le Chatelier’s principle, which predicts the effect of changing conditions (temperature, pressure, and concentration of reaction components) on the equilibrium of a chemical reaction. His principle says that a system will shift the equilibrium to counteract the change.
