About Eduqas A Level Chemistry 1.7 Equilibria and Acid-base Reactions
This topic covers simple equilibria and acids. Expect Le Chatelier and titration questions.
What you need to know
- Dynamic equilibrium Forward and reverse rates are equal in a closed system.
- Le Chatelier's principle The position of equilibrium shifts to oppose a change in concentration, pressure or temperature.
- Acids and bases Brønsted-Lowry definitions; strong and weak acids.
- pH and titrations pH = -log[H⁺] for strong acids; acid-base titrations.
Common mistakes in 1.7 Equilibria and Acid-base Reactions
- Saying a catalyst shifts equilibrium position.
- Confusing strong with concentrated.
- Forgetting that equilibria are dynamic.
