 | Learning Objectives (See related pages)
The objectives of Chapter 16 are to:
Develop the equilibrium criterion for reacting systems based on the second law of thermodynamics. |
 |  |  | Develop a general criterion for chemical equilibrium applicable to any reacting system based on minimizing the Gibbs function for the system. |
 |  |  | Define and evaluate the chemical equilibrium constant. |
 |  |  | Apply the general criterion for chemical equilibrium analysis to reacting ideal-gas mixtures. |
 |  |  | Apply the general criterion for chemical equilibrium analysis to simultaneous reactions. |
 |  |  | Relate the chemical equilibrium constant to the enthalpy of reaction. |
 |  |  | Establish the phase equilibrium for nonreacting systems in terms of the specific Gibbs function of the phases of a pure substance. |
 |  |  | Apply the Gibbs phase rule to determine the number of independent variables associated with a multi-component, multiphase system |
 |  |  | Apply Henry’s law and Raoult’s law for gases dissolved in liquids. |
