Security Dilemma the Collective Action Problem and the Nash Equilibrium. Criticism of the United Nations highlight the lack of power it has and its reliance on superpowers for legitimacy. The use by states of the UN is conditional on whether it serves state self-interest and whether the value of participating outweighs the cost (Abbott and Snidal 2005: 27). This brings into question why states would allow the UN to impose International laws and Norms that erode state sovereignty and how this

INTEGRATED CONCEPTS OF EQUILIBRIUM RESULTS AND DISCUSSION A system in equilibrium can be affected by the addition of another reagent leading to a change in chemical equation with a new equilibrium constant. An overall reaction is the sum of two or more reaction steps with different equilibrium constants. The overall equilibrium constant‚ Koverall‚ is the product of the equilibrium constants of the individual reaction step. If a reaction step is reversed‚ the equilibrium constant is set into its

temperature‚ concentration‚ and pressure on equilibrium Introduction Our ongoing discussion has been on systems at dynamic equilibrium: for a reversible reaction‚ the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction. What happens if equilibrium is disturbed? In this lab activity‚ we are going to examine the effect of changing reaction conditions on the position of equilibrium. Part I: Effect of temperature We will consider the equilibrium system [Co(H2O)]2+(aq) +
