Curated OER
Thermodynamics Worksheet
In this thermodynamics worksheet, students answer eight questions about reactions that involve change in entropy, they identify reactions as spontaneous or non-spontaneous and they solve problems using the laws of thermodynamics.
Curated OER
Chemistry Equilibrium Worksheet
This worksheet focuses on writing equilibrium constants. Students work to determine the direction of reactions, concentrations of different substances, and equilibrium constants.
