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.
