Fritz Haber applied Le Chatelier's Principle to develop a process to make ammonia.  The text reference is p.461-462.
Homework:  Use p.515 and Table 2 on p.517 to make predictions for each part of the experiment "Testing Le Chatelier's Principle" by writing down the eqbm. eqn., with the colour of reactant or product underneath.  Then state the result of each change on the equilibrium:  will the shift be toward reactants or products, and what colour change will occur?
 
Read the text p.450-456.  Answer p.457 #1, 2, 4-7.
 
Terminology of the unit was introduced, especially steady state and dynamic equilibrium.  Refer to text p.422, 424-top of 431.  There is a good model of dynamic equilibrium at http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/soluble-salts.  Click on the "Run Now" button, and shake some salt into the water.  Observe, then shake enough to form a saturated solution (there will be salt crystals forming on the bottom).  Watch the salt crystals carefully - this is dynamic equilibrium.
Homework:  Read p.424 and define bold terms; read p.429 and describe continuous and batch systems; read p.430-431 and answer p.437 #1 and p.438 #10
 
The experiments you designed were performed today.  The lab report (one per group) is due on Monday, Nov. 29.
 
Test Day.  Be prepared to do your experiment designed to change reaction rates tomorrow.
 
We spent class time on review of unit 3 - Energy Changes and Rates of Reaction.  The unit test is on Wednesday.  Work on the review questions assigned last week.
 
Students designed an experiment to show that when one factor was changed the rate of a reaction also changed.  The experiment will be performed on Thurs., Nov. 25.  There will be one report due per group on Mon., Nov. 29.
The unit test is on Wed., Nov. 24.
 
The following questions will help you prepare for the next unit.  Remember that n=m/M, n=CV, and you need a balanced equation to find the mole ratio necessary to convert from moles of one substance to moles of another.

p.811 #1ab, 2c, 3-5, 7, 15; p.421 #7

 
Complete the handout questions on Catalysis and Rate-Determining Step, and answer p.396 #5; p.409 #13.
 
Read the text p.387-389.  Answer p.391 #2, 3, 4a

Unit test is next Wed., Nov. 24.  Review questions are shown on yesterday's homework blog.
