VIDEO: EQUILIBRIUM

Students: as of today, we are in a new unit, on 'Solutions, Acids and Bases."  

The first topic in this new unit is chemical kinetics, where we examine things that affect the rate of chemical reactions, including the relative concentration of reactants and products. 

In this video, Paul Anderson does a great job of providing a demonstration that suggests how such chemical systems reach  equilibrium:




Mr. Anderson also models how to equilibrium setups and solve for the value of the equilibrium constant, 'K'.  Students were given a worksheet based on this video in Thursday's class, including a short set of problems in which they will practice setting up equilibrium expressions.

This is a short topic, and on Friday the notes on Chemical Kinetics will be provided.  Both items should be treated as homework, and completed as soon as possible.
