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.

1. State the effect of increasing pressure on N₂ + 3H₂ ⇌ 2NH₃. (2 marks)

Show the mark scheme answer

Equilibrium shifts right (1) because there are fewer moles of gas on the right (1).

2. Calculate the pH of 0.01 mol dm⁻³ HCl. (1 mark)

Show the mark scheme answer

pH = -log(0.01) = 2.
