This miniseries uses analogy and computer animation to introduce chemistry students to the concepts of chemical reactions. It explores and examines the theories of steady state, dynamic equilibrium, kinetic molecular theory, reaction tendencies, and the equilibrium constant. The forward and reverse reactions of various chemical changes are illustrated, including the production of hydrogen iodide, hydrogen chloride, and ammonia. Finally through demonstrations of Le Châtelier’s principle and the Haber process, students will gain a better understanding of the importance of chemical equilibrium to scientific study. 6-part series, 10 minutes each.
