Factors that Affect Equilibrium 

• examine how activation energy and heat of reaction affect the position of equilibrium

  • Notes: Activation Energy

• explain the overall observations about equilibrium in terms of the collision theory

  • Notes: Collision Theory

  • Analogy Question

EDROLO SUMMARY NOTES 

•  investigate the effects of temperature, concentration, volume and/or pressure on a system at equilibrium and explain how Le Chatelier’s principle can be used to predict such effects, for example:

  • heating cobalt(II) chloride hydrate

  • interaction between nitrogen dioxide and dinitrogen tetroxide

  • iron(III) thiocyanate and varying concentrations of ions

• PRACTICAL 1 - TAKING THE FIZZ OUT OF SOFT DRINKS

  • Pressure in a System
    
    

• PRACTICAL 2 - PRESCRIBED REACTIONS

  • Prescribed practical explanations
