Chemical Equilibrium - Reflections

1. What did I learn from doing this exercise that was new to me?
   
   
   
   
2. What were the major ideas I applied in:
   • drawing and interpreting reaction coordinate diagrams?
   • activation energy (E_a) versus the energy of the reaction (G)?
   • the effect of catalysts?
   • G vs. reaction equilibrium (reactants or products favored)?
   • setting up the equilibrium expression?
     
   • calculating the concentrations of species at equilibrium?
     
   • determining when to use approximations?
     
     
3. Why did my instructor give us this particular assignment?
   
   
   
   
4. Am I able to solve a variety of equilibrium problems using these approaches?
