Lesson: Choosing Equilibrium Conditions Chemistry

In this lesson, we will learn how to predict the effect of changing the temperature, concentration, or pressure on the yield of industrial reactions and its financial consequences.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

evaluate combined changes in concentration, pressure, and/or temperature on the position of an equilibrium,
explain how decisions regarding reaction conditions relate to fixed and long-term costs and yield,
apply knowledge of equilibria to suggest conditions for common industrial processes.
