You will be familiar with the idea of reversible reactions from GCSE, and hopefully also you have used le Chatelier’s principle to predict how changing the conditions of a reversible reactions affects amounts of reactants and products. At A level we need to be 100% confident in our understanding of these foundational ideas before we tackle the maths side of things, hence I start with exploring the concept of position of equilibrium which is often very poorly understood by students.
There are practice questions and fully explained answers for each section, and then when you are ready to really test (and stretch) your understanding, why not tackle the Chemical Equilibria e-book of exam style Q&A? ๐๐
