How To Use the Equilibrium Constant Kc

11 min • 30 mars 2021

In this episode we consider how to quantify the position of equilibrium using the equilibrium constant Kc.

We also talk through which changes of conditions cause a change in Kc value, and which don't. This will be something that will come up in your exams!

You can read the article How to Use the Equilibrium Constant Kc
