Unit 7 · Equilibrium

Chapter 7.4

Equilibrium Calculations and Particle Pictures

Given a starting mixture and K, the equilibrium amounts are fixed before the reaction begins. An initial-change-equilibrium table finds them, and a drawing of the particles checks the answer.

By the end

  1. 01Find equilibrium concentrations or pressures from initial amounts and K with an ICE table
  2. 02Use Q versus K to decide which way a mixture shifts to reach equilibrium
  3. 03Draw and read particulate diagrams of a system before and at equilibrium, including K
