Unit 7.1: Introduction to Equilibrium
Describe characteristics of equilibrium, both macroscopically and at the
particle level.
-
What does it look like macroscopically when a chemical system is at
equilibrium?
-
Explain equilibrium at the particle level in terms of reaction rates.
Identify the point at which equilibrium has been reached on a graph of
amount or rate vs. time.
-
On a concentration vs. time graph, how can you tell when equilibrium
is reached?
-
Explain what it means when the forward and reverse rates become
constant on a rate vs. time graph.
