DISCUSSION Chemical equilibrium and its different applications were studied in this experiment. The Le Chatelier’s principle‚ which is the main principle behind chemical equilibrium‚ states that‚ “If an external stress is applied to a system at equilibrium‚ the system adjusts in such a way that the stree is partially offset as the system reaches a new equilibrium position.”[1] The “stress” can be a change in concentration‚ volume‚ pressure‚ or temperature that disturbs the equilibrium

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

Chemical equilibrium is the point at which the concentrations of reactants and products do not change with time. It would appear as if the reaction has stopped‚ but in fact‚ the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal‚ causing the reactants and products to be created at the same rate. This can be expressed mathematically in the form of the equilibrium constant. The following is the general equation for a reversible chemical reaction: aA+bB →cC+dD

In nature‚ this happens when the temperature and concentrations of different components are altered. In this lab experiment‚ we will be doing an in-depth research of exactly what happens to the enzymes‚ when it happens‚ and why it denatures the way it does. b. Hypothesis Materials and Methods a.

1 Measuring and calculating equilibrium constants Clearly‚ if the concentrations or pressures of all the components of a reaction are known‚ then the value of K can be found by simple substitution. Observing individual concentrations or partial pressures directly may be not always be practical‚ however. If one of the components is colored‚ the extent to which it absorbs light of an appropriate wavelength may serve as an index of its concentration. Pressure measurements are ordinarily able to measure

Chemistry Lab: Haber’s Process (A Computer Simulation) Cherno Okafor Mr. Huang SCH4U7 October 8th‚ 2012 Introduction The Haber process is the process by which ammonia (NH3) is produced. The equation for this reaction is... The symbol shown in the middle means it is a reversible reaction so the product can decompose back into the reactants. Therefore‚ optimum conditions must be selected to get the greatest yield. When the forward and backward reactions are the same‚ it is said

The purpose of this lab is to determine the rate of reaction under different circumstances. Different variables will be manipulated to discover their effects on a particular reaction. Changes in temperature‚ pH‚ and enzyme concentration are examples of factors that have the potential to affect the initial rate of an enzyme catalyzed reaction in a controlled experiment‚ whether it be speeding the reaction up or slowing it down. Part I of the experiment establishes a baseline that can be used to compare
