Equilibrium

Mr. Andersen explains chemical equilibrium using a water demonstration, illustrating how reactants and products reach a state of balance. He discusses the Haber process for ammonia production, showing how to calculate equilibrium constants (K) and reaction quotients (Q). The video covers predicting reaction directions using K and Q values, and demonstrates advanced calculations with ICE tables to determine equilibrium conditions.

What happens to the concentrations of reactants and products over time in a reversible reaction?

How do you calculate the equilibrium constant (K) from a given reaction?

What is an ICE table and how is it used in calculating equilibrium concentrations?

How do changes in Q and K values affect the direction of a chemical reaction?
