Why do reversible reactions just keep going and going? Savvy solution chemists learn how to influence reactants and products at equilibrium through a video lesson. Topics include the conditions that affect equilibrium, reaction rates, and the use of catalysts in reversible reactions.

Concepts

Instructional Ideas

• Use the video to build on prior knowledge of equilibrium reactions
• Pause the video before it reveals the answers and ask the class to predict what will happen in the example scenarios

Classroom Considerations

• Brush up on relevant reaction vocabulary prior to viewing the resource

• This video is hosted on YouTube

Pros

• Reaction rate graphs help illustrate what's going on in the system for pupils that are new to reversible reactions
• The narrator uses thoughtful examples and analogies to clarify the content

Cons

• None
