Resources

We go over Chemical Equilibrium and discuss how it is different than โ€œone-wayโ€ reactions. We also cover the Equilibrium Constant (K) and the Reaction Quotient (Q) and what they tell us about the reaction, along with how both relates to one another. We work through sample problems and practice solving for the Equilibrium Constant and the Reaction Quotient. We discuss the difference between K and Q.
