Equilibrium law expressions, the equilibrium constant and energy profile diagrams

What this note covers

1. The equilibrium law: writing K for a homogeneous system
2. Heterogeneous systems: what is left out and why
3. What the size of K tells you about equilibrium position
4. K and temperature: the only thing that changes the constant
5. Energy profile diagrams: reading and drawing them
6. Linking profiles to reversibility, temperature and K
7. How this topic is examined and what separates a top answer
