Welcome Students, this week's blog is designed to help you through the concepts we will cover in class for the next two weeks. Dynamic Equilibrium is a phenomenon that occurs when the rate of formation of products is equivalent to the rate of formation of reactants. In other words, the relative amounts of each compound do not change over time.
Le Chatlier's principle explains what occurs when this dynamic equilibrium is disrupted. For the purpose of our class we will discuss three different stresses that will alter this dynamic equilibrium. These are pressure changes, temperature changes, and changes in concentration.
To begin here is a gadget that may be useful as an addition to this introduction.
