Equilibrium

Calculating equilibrium constant

No items found.

This Smart Worksheet provides a introduction to calculating equilibrium constants (Kc) for chemical reactions. Students will apply Le Chatelier's principle to predict equilibrium shifts and practice calculations using ICE tables and equilibrium concentrations in two example problems.

Learning outcomes

  • Apply Le Chatelier's principle to a range of scenarios.
  • Use an ICE table to calculate moles and concentrations at equilibrium.
  • Calculate equilibrium constant by using the equilibrium constant general expression.
