Today's lecture set the foundation for the Equilibrium unit and tied together the content from the Kinetics and Equilibrium chapters.
I introduced an experimental simulation found at the following web site:
Reactions and Rates Interactive Simulation
The goal was to convince you of what is happening at the molecular level in chemical reactions, and to show that the equilibrium constants are derived from rate expressions.
The material from the Equilibrium Chapter is vital for Acid-Base chemistry (Chapter 16), Solubility Equilibrium (Chapter 17), and some concepts also show up in the Thermodynamics (Chapter 19), and Electrochemistry (Chapter 20) chapters. Be sure to have a firm grasp on the equilibrium constants as they will show up again throughout the remainder of 122 and main portions of 123.
