Topic 7: Equlibrium

7.1 Dynamic Equilibrium
7.1.1 –Outline the characteristics of chemical and physical systems in a state of equilibrium.

7.2 The position of equilibrium
7.2.1 –Deduce the equilibrium constant expression (Kr) from the equation for a homogenous reaction.

7.2.2 –Deduce the extent of a reaction from the magnitude of the equilibrium constant.

7.2.3 –Apply the Le Chateller’s principle to predict the qualitative effects of changes of temperature, pressure and concentration on the position of equilibrium and on the value of equilibrium constant.

7.2.4 –State and explain the effect of a catalyst on an equilibrium reaction.

7.2.5 –Apply the concepts of kinetics and equilibrium to industrial processes.
