  5. Academic Dishonesty:Don’t cheat!!See A. C. Student Academic Handbook for consequences. • Paper:5-page paper on a chemistry topic. • Extra credit: 2 – 5 points per seminar. Turn in a ~1-page summary within a week of an approved seminar for credit. Quality of summary determines points.

  6. Exam schedule • Exam 1 – Wednesday, February 16, 2005 • Exam 2 – Wednesday, March 23, 2005 • Exam 3 – Monday, April 18, 2005

  7. Quiz 1 • Find a science article in the NEWSPAPER • 4 papers free on Campus (Science Tuesday) • Critique article • Turn in during office hours before end of office hours Wednesday January 26th

  8. A + B ↔ AB • Rate based on: • Constant • Concentration

  9. At Equilibrium: • Rates (forward and reverse) are equal • Concentrations stop changing • Reactions are still going • ‘dynamic equilibrium’ • Equilibrium not the same thing as kinetics

  10. Rates are equal

  11. Law of Mass Action
