Chemical Equilibrium, Ionic Equilibrium: Acids, Bases and pH, Buffers, Salt Hydrolysis and Solubility Product
In a sealed bottle of soda the gas never stops moving between the liquid and the space above, yet nothing seems to change. Many reactions stop short in the same way, with forward and backward reactions running at the same rate. In this chapter you write equilibrium constants, predict how an equilibrium shifts, and then turn to ions in water: acids and bases, pH, buffers and the solubility of salts. Python solves the equilibrium equations for you.
