Equilibrium
Background Information
For this unit, students must have been exposed to balancing chemical equations. This is extremely important in this unit, as all 3 chapters of the unit require a balanced chemical equation for the calculations. The students must also be able to convert word equations to chemical equations.
ex. Hydrogen gas and oxygen gas reacts to produce water vapour:
2 H2(g) + O2(g) --> 2 H2O(g)
Basic mathematic skills are also required, as the quadratic formula and other methods of solving algebraic problems will be required to complete the calculations.
What is Equilibrium?
Equilibrium is a state in which the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction. Throughout this unit, equilibrium of a variety of chemicals including acids and bases, and salts insoluble in water will be thoroughly analyzed.
What's covered in this unit?
This unit will have 3 chapters, which includes, equilibrium, acids and bases, and solubility. Labs are incorporated within some of the lessons to aid the students' understanding of the chapter.
