Study Plan

1
Day 1–2

Learn the Theory

Read the textbook chapter carefully. Note down definitions, formulas and key ideas. Focus on: 1. Physical and Chemical Equilibrium, 2. Henry's Law and Dissolution of Gases, 3. Law of Mass Action, Equilibrium Constant, and Reaction Quotient.

2
Day 3

Practise

Solve the textbook exercises and extra practice questions. There are 81 questions available for this chapter.

3
Day 4

Revise & Test

Revise key points without looking at your notes. Take a practice quiz and mark weak areas for another pass.

Day 7

Spaced Revision

Come back to Equilibrium after a week. Use flashcards for quick recall and try past exam questions on this chapter.

What to Focus On

  • Physical equilibrium is dynamic.
  • Liquid-vapour equilibrium requires a closed container.
  • Vapour pressure is the pressure of liquid and vapour in equilibrium.
  • Chemical equilibrium requires equal forward and backward rates.
  • Equilibrium is dynamic, not static.
  • Equilibrium is attained only in a closed system.
  • Law of mass action links rate with active masses.
  • Kc uses concentration and Kp uses partial pressure.
  • Kp = Kc(RT)^Δn.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Chemical equilibrium means the forward and backward reactions stop completely.

Equilibrium can be attained in an open vessel if enough time is given.

A catalyst increases the value of the equilibrium constant and shifts equilibrium toward products.
