Acids and Bases
WK: Equilibrium
This week you will be introduced to shifting equilibria and Le Châtelier's principle; you will learn to explain the dynamic nature of chemical equilibrium; and you will learn how to calculate equilibrium concentrations or pressures, and equilibrium constants using various algebraic approaches.
Scientists often make predictions. To make a prediction, scientists use the best possible and most available prior knowledge that they have at the time. Sometimes the predictions are correct, and sometimes they are not. In this discussion, you will practice making predictions based on what you see when you quickly skim through a portion of the textbook.
Skim Ch. 13, "Fundamental Equilibrium Concepts." You do not need to read this chapter in full to answer this discussion question. (You will read the chapter later this week as you complete your activities and assignments.) After you have skimmed the chapter, select 1 section (e.g., 13.1 Chemical Equilibria).

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:
List the section you selected.
Predict how the information from the section you selected might add to your understanding of the learning goal for this week: Quantify the behavior of acids and bases at the atomic level.
Predict how information from the section you selected might help you in your future career. Also discuss how not knowing the information might hinder your future career.
Pick 1 image, figure, or graph from the section that stands out to you and briefly describe the image. List the page number and figure title of the image (e.g., Figure 13.4 a sealed tube containing an equilibrium mixture, p. 689). Discuss what made the image interesting to you and why you selected it.
