13.9—Apply knowledge of the value of equilibrium constants to predict the extent to which a reaction takes place

Be able to apply knowledge of the value of equilibrium constants to predict the extent to which a reaction takes place.

Use —apply knowledge of the value of equilibrium constants to predict the extent to which a reaction takes place to connect the rule to the data and decision in the question.

This matters because —apply knowledge of the value of equilibrium constants to predict the extent to which a reaction takes place determines what can be inferred or chosen; begin with the stated conditions and keep the conclusion tied to the evidence.

Example: apply —apply knowledge of the value of equilibrium constants to predict the extent to which a reaction takes place to one small, clearly defined case, show the key step or comparison, and explain the result in words.

Boundary: —Apply knowledge of the value of equilibrium constants to predict the extent to which a reaction takes place is not a universal recommendation. Check the syllabus scope, assumptions, units and the limits of the evidence before generalising.
