Abstract for Lecture #19 - (a) Advanced Calculations using the Equilibrium Constant; (b) The Le Chatelier Principle; (c) Equilibria of Real Gases


Strategies for calculating equilibrium concentrations are given in the case where the equilibrium constant and initial values for (some) concentrations are given.

Le Chatelier's Principle helps predict the direction of a shift in equilibrium in response to a stimulus.
