Thermodynamics: Reaction Equilibria
Explore a comprehensive series of screencasts delving into reaction equilibria in thermodynamics. Learn about the equilibrium constant, standard state Gibbs energy, energy balances for reactions, and colligative properties. Discover the differences between kinetics and thermodynamics, understand the reaction coordinate, and apply the Gibbs Phase Rule to reacting systems. Examine catalytic selectivity, LeChatelier's Principle, and its limitations. Investigate gas-phase, heterogeneous, and solid-liquid chemical equilibria, as well as the effects of inert substances and diluents. Study protein stability, unfolded protein equilibrium, and equilibrium protein binding. Calculate adiabatic reactor temperatures, boiling point elevation, and freezing point depression. Explore the temperature dependence of equilibrium constants and learn to use Gibbs minimization for chemical equilibrium calculations. Analyze multi-reaction chemical equilibria and compare equilibrium constants for water as a liquid or gaseous reactant/product. Read more
