SOLUTION and Equilibrium Chemistry
Our Physical World: It’s One Big Mixed Up Solution  

Our physical world is anything but orderly.  Just one look at our atmosphere, the dynamics of our body, or soil compositions (among any number of other items) reveals our world with many substances often all mixed up.  Well, in this unit, which focuses on solutions and equilibrium concepts, we’ll look at that at how those mixtures' occur and how those mixtures components interact with one another in such an environment.  

We will divide this introduction into the following parts.

• Three Types of Mixtures- Suspensions, Colloids, Solutions

• The Dissolving Process

• Factors Affecting How Much Can Dissolve...Polarity, Temperature, Pressure, Concentration

• The Different Ways that Solutes Can Dissolve and the Implications

• Equilibrium: What is it? 

• Controlling Equilibrium:  LeChatelier's Principle

• Mastering Reactions:   Noting Equilibrium Positions - - Equilibrium Constants
