Chemical Reaction Rates and Equilibrium

By the end of this course you will be able to:  Define the following terms: reaction rate catalyst equilibrium and stabilization  Describe the effects of temperature pressure concentration and surface area on reaction rate  Explain how homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts affect the reaction rate and how catalysts can become poisoned  Explain equilibrium reactions and how the equilibrium point can be changed  Describe how the products of equilibrium reactions can be stabilized
