Overall Expectations
By the end of the course, students will be expected to:
E1. Analyse chemical equilibrium processes, and assess their impact of biological, biochemical, and technological systems
E2. Investigate the qualitative and quantitative nature of chemical systems at equilibrium, and solve related problems
E3. Demonstrate an understanding of the concept of dynamic equilibrium and the variables that cause shifts in the equilibrium of chemical systems

Big IdeasChemical systems are dynamic and respond to changing conditions in predictable ways
Applications of chemical systems at equilibrium have significant implications in nature and in industry |
Guiding QuestionsWhat is chemical equilibrium and what types of chemical systems are at or reach equilibrium?
What factors affect a system at chemical equilibrium? What are some of the roles of chemical systems at equilibrium in biological, biochemical, and technological systems? |
Unit Outline
This unit can be broken down into two distinct concepts or chapters as done below, following Nelson Chemistry 12, 2003 edition. Within each chapter, possible lesson headings are listed underneath. Please note that not all topics are necessarily covered in every grade 12U chemistry class. Please see individual lessons for specific expectations. A sample unit plan is given below courtesy of The University of Toronto-OISE.
