following terms:
reversible reaction Use the equilibrium position of a reaction to determine whether products or reactants are favored in a reversible reaction Apply stoichiometry to equilibrium mixtures Set up an I.C.E. (Initial-Change-Equilibrium) table Use the magnitude of the equilibrium constant to determine whether the equilibrium lies to the right or left, and whether products or reactants are favored Write equilibrium constant expressions for homogeneous equilibria, in terms of partial pressures where all species are gaseous, and for heterogeneous equilibria Calculate equilibrium constants from equilibrium concentrations Calculate equilibrium constants from stoichiometry Predict the direction of a reaction from the reaction quotient Calculate one equilibrium concentration given the others and the equilibrium constant Calculate equilibrium concentrations from initial concentrations and the equilibrium constant Apply LeChatelier’s Principle to changes in concentration, changes in temperature, and changes in pressure Explain how catalysts work and their effect on activation energy, rate of reaction, the composition of a reaction mixture, the value of the equilibrium constant, and the rate at which equilibrium is reached |
