- chemical reactions never proceed to completion because of the entropy of mixing
- the equilibrium constant quantifies how far the reaction proceeds.
- measuring its temperature dependence allows one to determine the enthalpy change of the reaction. (and consequently also the entropy change).

Its all about entropy (again)
Tomorrow's lecture is on chemical equilibrium. A few key ideas are:
