Topic 2.4: Chemical Equilibrium I

return to AS and A2 chemistry

You should be able to:
2.4a understand that equilibria are dynamic
2.4b deduce the qualitative effects of changes of temperature, pressure and concentration on the position of a homogeneous equilibrium
· a statement of Le Chatelier’s Principle will not be examined)
2.4c recall that the presence of a catalyst does not affect the position of equilibrium

2.4d understand the importance of temperature control to the establishment of the optimum reaction conditions for an industrial process.
