MOE Syllabus OutcomesMOE: Chemical Equilibria - JC1

About This Topic

Predicting the response of a system at equilibrium to changes in concentration, pressure, and temperature.

Key Questions

  1. Explain how a system at equilibrium minimizes the effect of an external disturbance?
  2. Predict the shift in equilibrium position due to changes in concentration, pressure, or temperature.
  3. Justify why a change in pressure only affects equilibria involving gaseous components?
