The Delicate Balance of Chemical Reactions | Chemistry: Unit 9

Introduce students to the concept of entropy and its role as the driving force for chemical reactions and the Second Law of Thermodynamics. This teacher's guide discusses spontaneity and Gibb’s free energy, explaining why some chemical reactions occur spontaneously while others do not. In addition, this unit introduces chemical equilibrium, the equilibrium constant, and equilibrium shifts (Le Chatelier’s Principle).
