In this unit, we begin our dive into one of the most heavily tested topics on the AP Chemistry exam, chemical equilibrium. Topics from chapters 14, 15, and 16 can comprise anywhere from 18-24% of the multiple-choice questions and an equal or greater significance on the free-response section. This is the section that helps students boost their 3s into 4s and 5s!
Note to future Smith: leave time for a kinetics test review day. This lesson takes a whole period. The best start day for this unit is a Tuesday.
