i. Buffer system concept and calculations
J. Calculate and use Ksp

A

g. Le Chatelier’s principle can be used to predict the behavior of a system due to changes in pressure, temperature, or concentration.
Le Chatelier’s principle implies that the addition of heat to a reaction will favor the endothermic direction of a reaction as this reduces the amount of heat produced in the system.
Increasing the concentration of reactants will drive the reaction to the right, while increasing the concentration of products will drive the reaction to the left.

A

The rate law expression for a reaction with reactants A, B, etc. is:
rate = k[A]x[B]y …
where the rate constant k and the orders x, y, … must be experimentally determined.

The value of k changes when (a) the temperature changes and when (b) a catalyst is added. The rate law for a reaction is usually found by the method of initial rates.
