Industrial Chemistry > Many Industrial Processes Involve Manipulation of Equilibrium Reactions
Many industrial processes involve manipulation of equilibrium reactions
Students learn to:
- explain the effect of changing the following factors on identified equilibrium reactions
- interpret the equilibrium constant expression (no units required) from the chemical equation of equilibrium reactions
- identify that temperature is the only factor that changes the value of the equilibrium constant (K) for a given equation
Students:
- identify data, plan and perform a first-hand investigation to model an equilibrium reaction
- choose equipment and perform a first-hand investigation to gather information and qualitatively analyse an equilibrium reaction
- process and present information from secondary sources to calculate K from equilibrium conditions
