Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a reaction that has an equilibrium constant K = 10 at a certain temperature, what happens to the system if we triple the concentration of reactants?
💡 Hint: Use Le Chatelier’s principle for guidance.
Calculate the Gibbs energy change for a reaction at equilibrium where K = 4. Calculating Gibbs at standard conditions leads to ∆G° = -RT ln K. What can we infer about spontaneity?
💡 Hint: Remember the relationship of K to ∆G.
