What Equilibrium concentrations and units means in Chemistry A-Level, as defined for OCR.
Definition of Equilibrium concentrations and units
Check what you remember
Read the wording for your board, then hide it and explain Equilibrium concentrations and units in your own words. Rough notes are fine. This is a self-check, with no mark or grade.
Reference: OCR
Each concentration in the expression is the equilibrium concentration in mol dm⁻³, and pure solids and pure liquids are omitted because their concentration is effectively constant.
