Equilibria of Other Reaction Classes
Through these lessons, the pupil shall be equipped with an understanding of solubility equilibrium; this is a more complex subject, which alloweth the scholar to determine the extent to which a slightly soluble ionic solid will dissolve, as well as the conditions under which precipitation shall occur.
Precipitation and Dissolution
Upon the conclusion of this section, it is expected that the pupil shall demonstrate the following proficiencies: Formulation of Equations: The pupil shall compose formal chemical equations and equilibrium expressions representing the phenomena of solubility equilibria. Execution of Computations: The pupil shall perform the requisite mathematical computations pertaining to solubility, the application of equilibrium expressions, and the determination of solute concentrations.
Lewis Acids and Bases
Upon the conclusion of this section, it is expected that the pupil shall demonstrate the following proficiencies:Explication of the Lewis Model: The pupil shall provide a rational account of the Lewis model of acid-base chemistry, specifically concerning the donation and acceptance of electron pairs. Formulation of Adduct Equations: The pupil shall compose formal equations representing the formation of Lewis acid-base adducts and the constitution of complex ions. Execution of Equilibrium Computations: The pupil shall perform the requisite mathematical computations pertaining to equilibria involving formation constants for complex chemical species.
Multiple Equilibria
Upon the conclusion of this section, it is expected that the pupil shall demonstrate the following proficiencies: Description of Complex Systems: The pupil shall delineate specific examples of chemical systems wherein two or more simultaneous equilibria are established. Calculation of Concentrations: The pupil shall determine, with mathematical precision, the concentrations of reactants and products within systems governed by multiple overlapping equilibria. Comparison of Chemical Phenomena: The pupil shall provide a comparative analysis between the processes of dissolution and the formation of weak electrolytes.
